OSU is a potent offense. The SEC is prolly going to be odd man out.

24 straight points and braxton miller is a shredding msu with his legs and his arm.

Its hard for us all to accept it, but OSU is a really good team and they are showing it tonight against the nations number one defense. they deserve to play for a national title. if the sec doesnt like it, they should learn from this season.

what the hell is happening to college football? It appears poor defense is the new norm.

I'm glad the SEC will be left out.

We can't recruit against 3 teams that have won multiple national titles in the last 15 years in the same DIVISION as us.

I don't really consider it odd man out. Do I think OSU had a cakewalk schedule, yeah, but if they win, two undefeated teams will play for the NC. If Alabama or Auburn wanted a NC berth, don't lose a game.

That's a croc of ****. If ohio state played in the sec they'd lose 3-4 games. No way auburn should be left out no matter if osu wins or not. By that thinking Boise state should of been to several bcs games.

 

[Shamoan]

lets look at OSU's opponents:

Buffalo (8-4) *
San Diego State (7-5) *
Cal (1-11) ouch
Fa&m (3-9)
Wisconsin (9-3) ***
Northwestern (5-7) **
Iowa (8-4) *
Penn St (7-5) *
Purdue (1-11)
Illinois (4-8)
Indiana (5-7)
Michigan (7-5) *
MSU (11-2) ***

* denotes bowl eligible
** denotes top 25 when game was played
*** denotes current top 25

where they failed is playing an extremely ****** cal team for his FBS OOC, but who can control that? that contract was made years out against a pac 12 opponent. perhaps you could knock them for selecting either sdsu or buffalo, but not both. everybody plays at least 2 ****** OOC games.

If they beat msu, they will have beaten 8 bowl eligible teams, 3 current top 25 teams, and remain undefeated.

OSU's SOS prior to this game (NOV 30th rankings) puts them at 61st, which doesnt look all that impressive until you compare them to some other teams out there:

Florida State: 66th
Alabama: 48th
Baylor: 62nd
Oklahoma St: 43rd
Mizzou: 41st
Auburn: 26th

you cant knock OSU without also doing so to FSU and FSU easily passes the eye test. in fact, according to sagarin, OSU has played a tougher schedule and is more deserving of a national title shot based on SOS. just a little food for thought. No doubt about it that you are correct about the SEC. Compared to OSU's national title contending peers, they are similar. Bottom line, the SEC is the best conference hands down, but in this years case, its too tough. the playoff is a year late.

 

[Shamoan]

you dont know osu would lose 3 or 4 games. thats absurd to say they would lose/loose 3 or 4 games, could they? absolutely, but they could also win them all. how many would fsu lose if they played in the sec? you have no idea. thats why they play the games. the general pre-season consensus was that auburn was a scrub team that would finish 5th in the west...how did that work out? point is, you dont know **** until the game is played.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

I think it's only two current ranked teams and one of those is counted in the championship game. And it doesn't look so good late in the 4th for them to beat their second currently ranked team.

 

[Shamoan]

msu might settle this whole damn thing. if osu loses, no way auburn or bama should not make it to the NCG.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

And there's the game. Auburn is the luckiest team in one season I think I have ever seen. MSU though really stepped up in the 4th.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Recruiting isn't our biggest problem. It's the grownups fault.

 

[mcdawg22]

That's a croc of ****.

I'm sorry man all I can think of is rubber shoes with poo in them. I kind of agree with you but I have a real hard time lobbying for Auburn although it looks like it's all coming out in the wash. Have fun rolling Toomer's with Whitehead and Cam.
