“The funny part is, the game turned out to be one of Florida’s easiest this season. After watching what the Gators did to the Buckeyes, I’m not sure if Ohio State belongs on the same field with LSU or Auburn, either. Vanderbilt gave the Gators a bigger tussle than Ohio State.”

(In best Jim Mora Sr. voice) Vanderbilt? VANDERBILT?

Number 50, the SEC was 1-2 against the Big Eleven this bowl season: PSU over Tennessee and Wisconsin over SEC West Champion Arkansas. Great win for the Gators, but let’s not go crazy with this Big Eleven fraud talk.

No, seriously, you guys have yourself a very solid, above average football conference there in the Big 10. Really.

All right, fellas. Enough of this ’speed’ talk. The Gators have an extremely fast football team. This equates to the rest of the SEC being fast how? The ’slow’ Nittany Lions spanked the Vols, and the ’slow’ Badgers ran down McFadden from behind.
Florida proved they’re a great team, but the rest of the SEC jumping on the bandwagon to make themselves feel better is pathetic.

To all Lil 11 apologists, did you watch the Wisc/Ark game? Hogs beat them every where but the score board. PSU is overjoyed to get out of Crappy valley and play a second tier SEC school. By saying all year you are good does not make you good. Why do I bother xeno phobe big ten fan does not get it anyway.

#55.

They ran down a Humanity Advanced playing on one wheel, and with a great angle, after about 45 yards. How’d they do catching that Felix Jones cat?

The only reason that game wasn’t a Title Game class blowout was that McFadden on one leg was the best Ark. QB in the game.

Buckeye says:

Harvey, I can give my comments day after. I am gracious in loss and victory. Congratulations to the Gators. They manhandled the Buckeyes and deserve the victory.

I just don’t buy the SEC speed or dominance myth. OSU has speed. They showed it. Even Reggie Nelson said so after the game. Our pourous O Line couldn’t stop the FL D (which was very fast) and that was the breakdown. Texas and Michigan both have fast D speed and OSU handled them.

Last night was Florida at the best of their season, and OSU at the worst of their season.

OSU didn’t show up and Florida did. Congratulations to the Gators for capitalizing. They were the better team last night.

Molly Hatchet- Saraceno at USA Today is an idiot. One of the idiot sportswriters who has to take last night’s game and use it to extrapolate and re-write the entire season.

Like I said, last night was Florida at the best of their season, and OSU at the worst of their season.

Neither team looked like they had all season. OSU had big games (TX, Mich) and stumbles (IL) and Florida had big games (Ark, LSU, FSU) and stumbles (SC, Auburn)

There was nothing that made anyone think it would be a blowout either way. Teams were evenly matched. OSU didn’t play up to their potential which makes the loss sting for Buckeye fans like me.

So for Saraceno to come out and say OSU couldn’t play with LSU or Auburn or Vanderbilt is ridiculous. FL had troubles with Vanderbilt because they played bad that week. They didn’t play bad yesterday, that is the difference.

Buckeye says:

Willet, do us all a favor and go take a class in LOGIC.

Was Tennessee a 2nd tier SEC team when they almost beat Florida? Does Florida barely beating SC and TN make them bad? Just because you don’t play good all season does that make you bad?

Georgia barely beat Colorado who had 2 wins all season, then blew out Auburn.

Each conference and each team has good and bad games. Doesn’t make 1 better or worse than the other.

Until all Big 10 teams and all SEC teams play each other, the debate will continue. Anyone can find proof to make their point while ignoring the proof that disproves their point, like you do.

Never Saw Molly Hatchet says:

Buckeye, we live in a world that has football, and that football has to be played by teams with speed and strength. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Michigan? The SEC has greater teams than you could possibly fathom. You weep for the Buckeyes, and you curse the Gators. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know. That Ohio State’s defeat, while tragic, probably saved lives. And our existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want us playing football, you need us playing football. We use words like speed, sandwiches, cheese. We use these words as the backbone of a conference spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. We have neither the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to a man who pisses and moans about the ass-kicking we provide, and then questions the manner in which we provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, we suggest you pick a better conference, and cheer for them. Either way, we don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

Old Sweaty Wrists says:

tOSU hadn’t been tested since Texas 05 (they lost), they played nobody all season (Big 2 Little 9) except Michigan who was fraudtacularly overrated.

“oh, but Texas 06?!” The same Texas that struggled with Iowa??? Iowa needed a Pontiac-worthy goal line stand to hold off Syracuse, yes Syracuse.

No debate tOSU got tested last night. If they’d played their best game of the season, they still would’ve lost.

Buckeye says:

They got tested by whom? The Florida who barely beat South Carolina? Who barely beat Tennessee? Who LOST to Auburn who was blown out by Georgia who barely beat a pathetic Colorado team?

If they would have played their best game who knows who would have won. If Ohio State played like they can play and Florida played like the team that played Auburn, who knows who would have won. If you lost, you all would have thrown Chris Leak under the bus (again).

Nice work on being gracious winners. Now I see where Jarvis Moss gets it from.

Michigan was overrated?

That’s weird, I thought Michigan was a little underrated this year to begin with, and is appropriately rated currently. But overrated? That’s a first for the season.

I realize no one will read a post going up this late… but…

1.) NSMH… OMG that was funny… you should have your own blog…

2.) walrus… didn’t think Michigan was overrated? Did you see the Rose Bowl??? Did you see the TNCG? Did you see the Sugar Bowl?

UM came in ranked pretty high, then trashed what turned out to be a terribly overrated ND team, which then made UM terribly overrated (nobody else in the top 10 almost lost to BALL STATE), which made the whole UM-tOSU thing sickeningly overrated, and it all played out in the bowls. If Michigan had beaten USC and ND beaten LSU, then we could call the tOSU collapse a fluke. But they didn’t… and we won’t.
