Oh, No!
UPDATE 8/16: I find out now that SI has issued at least six "regional" covers featuring different teams, USC, West Virginia, Notre Dame, and Texas among them. Now, whether that jinxes six teams or none I'm not sure. I don't really buy into the SI Cover Jinx. However, OSU fans do recall Ted Ginn Jr. on the cover after last year's first game. They proceeded to lose two of their next three. Of course, those two opponents finished #1 and #2 in the country. That might have had something to do with it.
