ScUM is listed as #1 because playing on the road versus your rival is ALWAYS going to be the toughest game. ScUM was pretty awful the past two seasons, and it STILL took everything OSU had to beat them.

True but Michigan State is better. I think with a new coach they may not be as good as the last two years.

MSU is the one that scares me. It's the game before TTUN and we might be looking past the Spartans because of all the Hairball vs Urban hype. It wouldn't be the first time they've ruined our season.

I agree and scUM has played us tight too but no way they beat us. Unless all of our QBs arms fall off, then I am wrong.
102 days till kickoff.

No argument that MSU has been the better team and will probably be again this year, but in The Game it doesn't seem to matter.
The WORST OSU team in 60 years was an overthrown pass away from beating the best scUM team in a decade. The best OSU teams we have seen in a bit were taken to the wire by scUM teams who were terrible, including one who didn't make a bowl game. Even though he is new, I think that Harbaugh is such a big upgrade that scUM will be better.
I hope OSU wins by 80, but I wouldn't be shocked to see a close game again.
"We know we're not the biggest guy on the block (right now)," Harbaugh said, per a live video stream recorded by The Wolverine. "Michigan State's the biggest guy on the block."
Harbaugh's comment was then met with a clap from someone in the back of the room. He acknowledged that clap, and followed it up by heaping praise on what Mark Dantonio and the Spartans have accomplished.
But also said Michigan has plans to do everything it can to reclaim its status "on the block."
"Rightfully so, rightfully so," he said. "They've done a tremendous job, and we respect the job that they've done. But we want that. We want it..."

Nice little bit of reverse psychology? Or an honest appraisal?
I think it's the latter.
Harbaugh for all his psychosis always seems pretty sincere.
I think he is being candid with the state of scUM football versus Sparty. Sparty has been the better program since Rich Rod took over, and it hasn't really been that close. He may be using it as motivation for his team, but I think he actually believes it as well.
That being said, OSU is the HUGEST of all the boys on all the blocks right now
Thanks for everything Jim!
