Thank you for allowing me to state the obvious: Ohio State is no offensive juggernaut. If this were the analogy section of the SAT's, the Buckeye's are to college football what Luke Walton is to the NBA...offensive lepers. Sunday marked the third time in 2008 that OSU failed to score an offensive touchdown.

So who's really the best one loss team in the country? It's early in the season and perhaps premature at this point to know for sure, but here's my picks. If you truly believe USC is the best one loss squad, please tell us why. If you…
