Originally posted by no1marauderWhat you don't consider is that Illinios played a flawless game as where OSU turned the ball over 3 times. I don't care who you are, if you turn the ball over 3 times to a quality team you SHOULD LOOSE!! Even at that they barely won. Also consider that we were looking ahead to Michigan. Then to top it all off they played their best game of the year that day. They more or less suprised OSU.
West Virginia is an even worse matchup for OSU than USC. Williams from Illinois was the only running QB you faced and he killed you. Imagine what White will do! I think most OSU fans know after the Illinois game this year and the debacle in the Championship game last year that their team is likely to get embarrassed again and it's always easy to cry that you lost the Rose Bowl because it's a "home" game for the Pac-10.
I think your assessment of WVU is mistaken. They are for the most part a one demensional team. they run, run, run, and run some more. Key in one one or two players and the game is over. Also consider how a team like UCONN marched up and down the field against them. Their "D" is what will kill them. If given the chance, I predict that B.B Wells will march up and down the field against them. Never forget, you will championships with "D".

Too bad for Ohio State fans that Oklahoma is predictably thrashing the over-rated #1 team in the country.
So, it looks like LSU #2 vs. Ohio State #1 in the title game.
Does that mean that Illinois gets a trip to the Rose Bowl?
LSU should win the title.

I can't believe what has happened today...WV loses and unless a miracle happens Missouri going down too.
And ESPN they are telling me Ohio State and LSU for the NC?
This has been the absolute nuttiest year in college football since I have been alive.

There saying there is an outside chance for USC, Georgia, or Oklahoma to end up playing Ohio State; but the likely scenario is LSU.
I think those two teams probably deserve it the most.

I still vote for a +1 system...it sure would make things clearer.
I think our Maize and Blue are gonna end up in the Holiday bowl...aka the toilet bowl.

Originally posted by nmdavidbThat's right, Hawaii should play Ohio State for the NC. LOL. Only in my dreams. I knew playing WVU was to good to be true and sure enough, they choked. I am inconsolable right now. OSU now has to play a team capable of beating them to win the NC.

Originally posted by whodeyYeah, either WVU or Mizzou was a better choice for the Buckeyes.

I knew WVU was weak, but I thought they could handle Pitt.

Originally posted by Red NightI know but congress went off on the BCS system a few years ago when Boise State went undefeated and weren't considered.

I am not saying they should play in it...but ya have to admit something is wrong when a team is the ONLY one to go undefeated and only gets a crap bowl.
Kinda like that Smith kid from UCF...only 200 yards away from breaking Barry Sanders single season rushing record...which is over 2,600 plus leading the nation in scoring and have you even heard of him? Is he getting talked about for the Heisman?
If he was playing at any decent college...well decent sounds bad...how about notable...he would have had the Hesiman locked at least a month ago.
I will just keep saying it...this year is enough to drive an Amish man to purchase a hair dryer.

Edit: I guess LSU will be their to meet OSU in the NC and it sould be an improvment over USC in the Rose Bowl. Yea, OSU's chances are for USC in the Rose Bowl in their back yard or LSU for the NC in their back yard. It hardly seems fair, no? I say LSU should drag their sorry butts up to Columbus in the -20 degree cold to play OSU in the Shoe. At least it would be played outdoors like a football game should be played unlike that God forsaken Dome they play in down there. I just hope OSU does not get humiliated again like they did last year. I don't want to turn on the TV and see the OSU players standing on a bridge in New Orleans waving their hands screaming for help and someone to come get them after the game. Chances are that their sceams will go unheard as well. I say if it happens and they do get humiliated, I say we leave them all down there!!

No one is even mentioning Va Tech as a possibility either. i think they were the highest ranked team to win today.

Originally posted by Red NightOut of all of them left, I would pick Va Tech as my favorite to play against. Am I dreaming?
