I would think and hope that OSU fans wouldn't be so fickle as to hate their coach who has done a good job with their program just because he voted for a #2 team in the nation.
Obviously his vote didn't matter, so it's a bit of a moot point; but I still think he should have voted.
Then like I keep saying, all this crap can be avoided with a playoff.

Obviously you believe he would have voted for Michigan.
I cannot presume nor will I in which choice HE would have made.
I gave you a good line of reasoning, it wasn't fear it was he was damned either way. And why should he name #2, who cares? I wouldn't have voted either. All my vote would do is give the other coach bulletin board material. I just don't see the necessity.
No matter how he voted, the other coach would have used it to psyche his players up. This way, the other coach can't use anything Tressel says, other than "We're #1, #2 has to beat us."
As Tressel says, "Don't ask me to vote anymore and we won't have this issue."
I mean he could have voted for Rutgers.... he could have voted for anyone other than Michigan or Fla..... and it wouldn't have mattered. What Tressel did was acknowledge 2 other programs as having the talent to be #2 and that he doesn't care who comes and gets beaten by us.
