But they have a loss, have beat poor teams badly, and had close wins against anyone else that is half decent. To me, Ohio State's best current resume builder is a loss to the #3 team. Oklahoma is at least undefeated.

I agree where Ohio State is concerned. They've simply not lost to teams they shouldn't lose to. Which I guess isn't
always that simple, but they climbed the ranks by beating that murderers row of Tulsa, Akron, Rutgers, Maryland, then Indiana. Yeah, now there's been a diminished Penn State and Nebraska. And Minnesota is not such a bad team, I guess. But they're basically
only that -- not such a bad team.
If they beat MSU and UM, then they look better. (Purdue, in all likelihood, is just another "not such a bad team." At least I hope that's how they look in three weeks.)
