Ohio State is #1


They won't be there very long.

Lets just hope it is their only loss.

OK trivia buffs, have at it.

Who was the last #1 preseason SI rated team to lose a season home opener?

#15 - Louisville?

I'm guessing Miami Fla or Florida State. They have been playing against each other to start the season lately and that is probably the most likely.

Iowa at 18 as well.

Auburn in '04?

Michigan 89?

#1 and #18, this is NIU"s golden opportunity to make a huge impact on the national stage, the Huskies win these 2 games and sweep the conference we have to go BCS bowling.

Same goes for Iowa, unless they play OSU

I just re-read this. SI preseason #1 is the question. SI does alot of stupid things, so this changes everything.

I'm going with Oregon State in 2001. They were SI's preseason #1 and lost at Fresno State in the season opener. I believe Oregon State didn't even have a winning record that year.

Plus about 5-6 years back they had Arizona #1 and they were horrible that year.

last line of the article:

"We'll find out plenty about OSU quickly enough: The Buckeyes are at Texas on Sept. 9."

Let's hope this is what the tOSU players are thinking about as well come Sep 2nd.

I know that the year before Auburn did good they were #1 in a preseason poll....it was either SI or sporting news. I know that season they started 0-3. Now I think about it, it probably was sporting news that had them #1.

Quote:#1 and #18, this is NIU"s golden opportunity to make a huge impact on the national stage, the Huskies win these 2 games and sweep the conference we have to go BCS bowling.

Got to love that pre-season optimism!
