Well if tOSU played such a tough strong schedule, whats all the hub-bub?
Bravo to tOSU for finding the shortcut to the MNC by having no real Conf Championship and no bye week…all they are doing is working the system…
and finding an easy way to the MNC, just to get their eyes drilled out to a healthy, Michigan man coached LSU team…or insert your next SEC champion here________(more than likely Florida or Georgia for the next 2 yrs) ……Big 10 or Pac 10 champ vs SEC champ…dont know if Big 12 will make it back since they are like 1 outta three the last couple times they have been there….1 fer Texas, 0-2 for Okla. vs LSU and USC……I think Michigan will do better next year, should be interesting to see how a traditional Big 10 school does w/ a gimmicky offense…

As I remember it there were people wanting OSU to play Michigan again for the MNC. Just add a team to the televen and have a Conf. Champ game. That will solve your “layoff” problem. Plus, make some cash.

Just going out on a limb here but maybe Florida’s players said the thing aobut OSU not being that great becauase they were true, I mean from every indication we recieved last year 4-5 SEC opponents were more difficult than OSU. As for Meyer, given the crap he took about “whining an undeserving team into the game” I think he was polite in his triumph.

It is the same logic every year, all the time. Are there bonehead Buckeye fans? Sure, like everywhere. But I don’t know anyone who didn’t respect Florida going into the game last year. Believing in your team is as it should be. Giving respect to your oponent is also part of the deal.

When OSU loses, you invariably hear (from Tress & the players) praise of the opponent for a job well done. When the Bucks win, you hear them sing the same praises for the opponent’s talent & effort exerted. I respect that classiness from anyone willing to show it, be they Buckeye, Trojan, Wolverine, whomever. There is no more bitter rivalry than OSU-Michigan, but the games are always classy and full of respect for one another.

That said, review the things said by the Gators after last year’s MNC game. Sadly, I was not surprised to hear it from the players, but Meyer was a real disappointment. I expected more from an Ohio guy.

Congrats, sincerely, to LSU for a fine season. If my Bucks are able to pull off the impossible upset, I will be more than happy to have them as a National Champion, having defeated a really good SEC team to do it.

in the spirit of Canadian Football…JOY TO THE ROUGE!

Besides, what could be more fun than punting on 3rd down, 110-yard fields, 20-yard endzones, and uprights on the goalline? Nothing, I contend!

OSU being 0-8 versus the SEC in bowl games has as much relevance to the MNC as OSU being undefeated all-time vs. LSU.

0-8 . Besides that I’ll take #1, you can have the rest.

Average offense Ohio State has played:

ranked 59th – averaging 395 yds/game.

Ohio State gives up 225 yds/game on average.

Average offense LSU has played:

ranked 80th – averaging 340 yds/ game

LSU gave up an average of 283 yds/ game.

So Ohio State played better offenses across the board and held under their average by more than twice the amount LSU’s D holds opposing offenses under their average. Yes, I’m a statwhore, and proud of it. But don’t pretend we haven’t played great offenses for one second.

What happened to the Big10 being 2-1 v SEC last year? That’s logic that doesn’t fly with you right?

Shhhhhh, please let our southern friends rant on as they wish. What they never understand is that when you denigrate your opponent, you also denigrate your victory over said opponent. Not to mention the awesome humiliation that comes with having lost to said incompetent opponent.

Oh, please. Even Notre Dame fans knew they had no chance last year with their secondary vs. three first round draft picks. All I’m going to say is that LSU is 70th in sacks allowed and tOSU is top-5 in sacks. What about that, or anything else, makes you so confident?
