They are far from dominant, and before you give me that SEC crap, note the SEC has a losing record against the Big Ten the past 3 years in bowls (3-5) look it up.., and that's while everyone else kicked the Big Ten's butts, so what does that really say about the SEC?....there isn't a team on that list that secretly wouldn't say uh oh if they looked up and saw USC across from them in a bowl....we definitely need playoffs. Even now you look at the match ups and they always pit a lower ranked Big Ten team to get the draw from their huge fanbase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-74044360644308823132007-12-03T18:12:00.000-05:002007-12-03T18:12:00.000-05:00The fact of the matter is that we don't know who t...The fact of the matter is that we don't know who the best 2 teams in the country are, and sadly this game is not going to give us that answer. Both LSU and Ohio State are pretender teams. LSU is hamstrung by the fact that Les Miles is a pathetic in-game coach. Michigan fans should rejoice with Holiday cheer that he turned them down. He only managed to win this year because of the superior talent. Eventually he will be run out of LSU. They are frauds like him. They stink.<BR/><BR/>Ohio State has not beaten anyone this entire season. And don't even try to sale Wisconsin to me...ridiculous schedule. People wanted to hate on Hawaii for their schedule, but Ohio State is the exact same. They play a weak schedule and then their pathetic conference is too scared to have a Title game. That should disqualify them. Are we just going to let them back in to the National Title game every year only to get throttled? <BR/><BR/>The BCS is trash and I don't intend to watch the Championship game...and I mean that seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-74684582045485302512007-12-03T14:45:00.000-05:002007-12-03T14:45:00.000-05:00The best two teams in the country are clearly not ...The best two teams in the country are clearly not playing for the title...therefore it isn't a national championship game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-50390322643305218072007-12-03T12:31:00.000-05:002007-12-03T12:31:00.000-05:00So, Ohio State beat Wisconsin as its only quality ...So, Ohio State beat Wisconsin as its only quality win and lost to an average Illinois team, and didn't play a tough conference championship game? And this is a team vying for a shot at the national title?<BR/>USC, Georgia, LSU, Missouri, Oklahoma, and a healthy West Virginia all could beat Ohio State.<BR/>What was Ohio State's patsy non-conference schedule again? Let's reward them for playing horrible teams and not losing to them.<BR/>Hawai has a better resume in beating Boise State, and Washington and going undefeated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-66959327590552964072007-12-03T08:58:00.000-05:002007-12-03T08:58:00.000-05:00Well, at least they played some quality opponents ...Well, at least they played some quality opponents and improved. <BR/><BR/>One good thing will come out of this title game. The debate about whether the Big Ten is legit anymore will be clearly answered. Enjoy the loss buckeye. Shoot, I'd be happy with a GA v. LSU match up if it gets us two legit teams playing for the title instead of the OSU "back up the truck into the BCS title game" boys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-33390476341842826182007-12-03T08:51:00.000-05:002007-12-03T08:51:00.000-05:00Ugh, I HATE Frank Beamer, so am THRILLED his lousy...Ugh, I HATE Frank Beamer, so am THRILLED his lousy hokies won't be in the title game!

Tech played/beat a higher ranked opponent while being ranked higher than LSU, thus would still have been on any other Sunday. <BR/><BR/>While I think Hawaii and Va. Tech are getting screwed here, the title game should be between OSU and Georgia. <BR/><BR/>Why should Georgia get penalized by a tie breaker and not playing last Saturday, but OSU does not? When OSU slid up while being idle, then Georgia should have too. At least, Georgia starts the season with the possibility of playing 13 games. <BR/><BR/>If we are going to penalize those not playing a game on Championship Saturday, then why not LSU v. Va. Tech rematch. Va. Tech is much improved and it would be a much more compelling game in light of last April.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
