Kicker posed a pretty good question that I think deserved it's own topic.

Is 2006 tOSU as good as 2005 UT?

I think on the surface, we can, and will, all agree that Texas 2005 was better than the 2006 Ohio State team is, but looking at the teams a little closer, I balk.  There are a lot of parallels that can be drawn between the two teams.  

1. Great Leadership (VY & TS)
   
2. Best Player in NCAA (VY & TS)
   
3. Breakout receivers
   
4. Stellar offense
   
5. Solid defense
   
6. Special players on both sides (Ross, Huff, VY, Taylor - Ginn, Laurenitis, Smith, Pittman)
   
7. Hard fought victories against great teams (USC & Michigan)

I'm sure there are other similarities, and ultimately I agree that 2005 Texas would beat this OSU team.  But it's worth noting the similarities to the two teams.

I am curious as to what you think about the comparisons.  The level of competition may be a notch lower this year, but are the comparisons apt?
