Why is Ohio State #1?

Why are the Buckeyes #1 in the nation?

They've played 5 home games - 2 MAC teams, 1 CUSA, 1 ACC
and 1 road - conference game

They've played the easiest schedule between the 4 teams(Oregon, TCU, Boise State) and their best win is the worst among those same 4(an overrated Miami team).

I realize they started the season high in the polls but so did Boise and TCU and they dropped below Oregon because perceived lack of schedule. How come Oregon didn't jump Ohio State as well?

Apparently Boise St will be #1 in the upcoming BCS standings.

Ohio State will be exposed for the pretender they are. Patience.

I agree 100%. Oregon should be #1 right now.

Because when T Pryor actually has his head in the game they really are that good.

Haven't we seen this movie before? Ohio goes through a cupcake schedule, gets into the national championship game, and then gets destroyed by a real team.

With the way their schedule is looking, I could easily see that happening again.. They don't even have to play Michigan State, who right now is the second best team in their conference.
