TCU seals an embarrassing New Year's for Big 10

I predict that this is another prediction of yours that will make you look silly.

The only thing I'm saying is I think it will be a close game. tOSU is the #2 defense in the country, but you have to take into consideration their schedule. Then you have to consider how their defense actually plays, regardless of the level of competition. Their D is somewhat overrated at #2, but they could just as well be dead last on D with their schedule as well; but they're not. It's all relative. I just don't know how they will fare against a very good SEC offense. I don't see how that makes me look so silly; win, lose, or draw.

You are aware whom they earn these rankings against don't you? Just sayin'.

Yes. The rest of the Big 10. None of which have a better defensive ranking than 20th. So, relative to what they are doing in that conference, tOSU is doing something right. How that will translate against an SEC team, I'm not so sure. I'm not saying whether tOSU will win or lose. That matchup is just a big question mark. I just think it will be close either way.
