Sometimes winning too big makes people believe that your victory was more of a product of your opponent than your own talent, although when the margin is 71 points, it's pretty clear that your team is kicking ass.

Still, so was pretty much every team ahead of Ohio State, and as a result, they stay steady at No. 6 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
