As the season goes so to will this game, I bet. Everyone is probably figuring a 13-10 type of game with the two defenses getting all the hype. It will probably end up being something like 52-48 or something crazy like that. Ohio State hasn't played since when? Around Thanksgiving? That's like a summer break. LSU is just too unpredictable to peg - especially with a month off.

You are right, we lost a Heisman winner QB our starting running back and top 2 recievers, as well as 3 defensive linemen. 2007 was a rebuilding year, but with that landscape of college football it turned into more. 2008 was the year tOSU fans looked forward to, but now it will be diminished because nobody will give tOSU credibility after this loss. They should be ranked top 3 next year, and will have to beat USC in week 2 to get another shot at the title.


Right now Ohio State is pre-Vince Young Texas: all the talent in the world, but can't win a big game

DarkReign

Well, that was pathetic but about what I expected. Big 10 is highly, undeniably, horribly overrated. They play antique football in a league of innovation and it shows every time they play outside their conference.

With that said, OSU has been the class of the conference. 3 national title games with 1 championship. Argue whether they should have been there or not and I would probably agree with you.

As it is, found this interesting...


ACC Commissioner John Swofford and SEC Commissioner Mike Slive said Monday morning at an annual meeting of the Football Writers Association of America that they believe a "plus-one" format would have to be seeded.

The other possibility of the "plus-one" was considered to be playing an extra game after the BCS title game.

Each commissioner also stated that the SEC, ACC, Big East and Big 12 are open to discussing the "plus-one" format. The Big Ten and Pac-10 have been opposed to it.

Swofford, who is the incoming BCS chair, said the nature of the 2007 season and its weekly upheaval has motivated his presidents and athletic directors to reconsider a plus-one model.

"A lot of people look at it and say ... maybe it would be better if more than two teams had the opportunity to play for the national championship," Swofford said.

"There's a comfort level with what we're doing today," Swofford added. "In our conference, there's much more open-mindedness about the plus-one than there was two years ago. There's an interest in it ... and a willingness to discuss it in full."

Slive, the outgoing BCS chair, said one focal point of discussion will be discerning whether the 2007 season and its parity is an anomaly or "the beginning of something bigger."

"It's a little bit like turning a big battleship," Swofford said.

Commissioners from all 11 major college football conferences will meet in Miami in April and the plus-one will be a topic.

"I think we would be remiss if we didn't have that discussion in full and play it out and see what the ramifications of it are in great detail," Swofford said. "To see if there are unintended consequences there. What are the pluses, what are the minuses? Really drill into it so we can have the right kind of information.

"Evaluate it in a thorough way and ultimately make a decision. You don't know unless you have that discussion."

Swofford acknowledged a meeting of No. 1 vs. No. 4 and No. 2 vs. No. 3 in a Final Four of football could still leave out a team with a participation argument.

Slive acknowledged "logistics" and multiple television agreements will take efforts to work through for the possible format to become a reality.

The BCS is in the second of a four-year, $320 million contract with Fox that runs through the 2009 season and 2010 bowls. The BCS will begin negotiating with Fox on another deal in the fall. Fox has exclusive negotiating rights with the BCS.

No changes are expected before the 2010 season.

Hopefully, it passes and its at least a start to a playoff. We wouldnt have these ridiculous title games even with only a 4 team playoff. The Kansas/Georgia/WV fans would have no complaints I am sure.

I think in order to to 'overrated' you have to have people claiming your are at the top, or the best; I'm a OSU fan, and I don't even consider the Big Ten to be that good. I mean Ohio State plays like 4 meaningful games a year. It's not their fault the rest of the Big 10 sucks ass. Michigan always underachieves, Penn State has a coach that they don't want anymore and are just waiting for him to die or retire then they will be back to a decent football school, Wisconsin is alright- not great, but not bad, Illinios is making strides, but the rest of the conference sucks. Ohio State can't do anything about Indiana, Northwestern, Michigan State, Iowa, or whoever else. They can just play their schedule. I just don't think calling the Big 10 overrated is the correct term, it is weak.

The problem with the Big East is they only have eight teams, compared to the other major conferences. Therefore, a team having a bad year in the conference gets a lot more exposure. Additionally, a good team like WVU tends to be glossed over due to the perceived weakness of the entire conference. Had Petrino not bailed on Louisville, I'm sure Brohm and Co. would have been a lot better, thereby boosting the conference overall. USF had early success (wins over WVU and Auburn), but faltered in the second half of the season. Cincy was good, Rutgers was decent, and UConn had a good season (albeit, even I think they got lucky). So, all-in-all the Big East did very good, but due to having 3-4 less teams than the other big conferences, they fall behind in the exposure department.

What I think the BE needs is another 1-3 teams to make it stand out more. Something like moving Penn St. over from the Big 10 and 1-2 other decent programs - sure-fire winners would be nice, but even some decent teams would help. No VTech or Miami, though.

NoMoneyDown
01-08-2008, 12:06 PM
BTW, here's an interesting guage ... Take the combined records of the top 50% of the teams in each of the major conferences, and compare them ... This is what you'll find:

1. Big-12 (82%)
2. BE (75%)
3. SEC (74%)
4. ACC (70%)
5. Pac-10 (69%)
6. Big-10 (68%)*

(*) Big-10 has 11 teams, so only used top-5 in conference.

JamStone

With the way the Big Ten has been destroyed in the media the last couple years, I don't think it's appropriate to call them overrated. They're just not good anymore. It's a weak BCS conference. Even most reasonable Big Ten fans will agree. Only Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State get really high national talent year in and year out. And, only Ohio State has been able to be a real contender nationally since the BCS system has been in place.

Michigan definitely has under-achieved since they won the split title in 1997-98. And, a lot of that has to do with Lloyd Carr's stubbornness to follow in the style and approach of Bo to worry only about the Big Ten schedule, not the out of conference games at the beginning of the year or the bowl games. They never mattered as much as the Big Ten and Ohio State. And, along with that, Michigan never changed with the times until Lloyd's very last game against Florida. Same run it up the gut offensive play calls. Same prevent type defenses. Whoever used the word "antique" was right on the money. Michigan's football program has never modernized with the times. The rest of college football has been using i-phones for years and Lloyd Carr and Michigan still were using Zach Morris' big ass 5 pound portable phone from Saved by the Bell.

The Big Ten has definitely become one of the weaker BCS conferences. As a Michigan fan, I hope Michigan can catch up with the rest of college football in the next few years. Might take some time for it to equate to ultimate success, but hopefully that will help not only Michigan but the Big Ten improve their standing among the BCS conferences.

Just hope Fraud-riguez gets along with the administration there or he'll start whining and leave your team hanging. Also, keep in mind that he's a damn good recruiter, but a suspect coach. He relies too much on the athleticism of his personnel to win a game. Just see the USF and Pitt games this year. White goes out and he puts in the backup QB but does no other adjustment. Result?

Yes there is, it's called the SEC east or SEC West depending the year. This year the east was better. 3 teams from the east have a legitamate chance at the national title next year. Two of those teams will be in the top 5 preseason with Tenn. probably being in the top 10. I would also bet that the SEC east puts more players in the NFL than the B12 south, hell even our worst team, Vandy, put a 1st round QB in the NFL, when has Baylor done that?

Here's the facts: the SEC always have great recruiting classes, they put the most players in the NFL, year in and out, are now 4-0 in BCS championships and have 24 National football champions. UGA, Tenn, UF, Alabama, Ole Miss, LSU and Kentucky have all won championships in football.

The Big 12 has 18 National championships in football. OU, Neb and UT have 16 of those. Like I said before you've got 2 great teams right now with Neb falling on hard times and the numbers back that up.

And, thanks for the insight about losing when West Virginia lost Pat White against Pitt. USC lost to Standford without Jon David Booty. Look at Oregon after Denis Dixon was lost for the season.

Sorry but I think SEC East is tougher than the B12 South year in and year out, every year. The B12 is Texas and Oklahoma. And, then sometimes OSU will be decent, maybe TA&M is ok. It's still just Texas and Oklahoma.

At least with the SEC East, they have three teams always in the mix in Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. And, their secondary teams are better with South Carolina and Kentucky.

The SEC West might be tougher on a given year, but they don't have the consistency of the SEC East, and they're starting to be ruled by one school, LSU. Both Auburn and Alabama have not been able to be consistently great like LSU has.

The big 12 south is a great division but it doesn't have the perennial powerhouses that the SEC east has. Hell, I think UT and OU would have a great deal of success in the SEC if they were to play there but the rest of the league at this point just couldn't hang.

LSU lost their starting QB and still won, in a championship game.

LSU's back-up QB actually had a lot of experience throughout the season because Miles used him periodically.

Yeah, I know, I'm just stirring up shit. Man, I bet Texas fans are wishing they had him back. I think he's going to be a game breaker next year. Not quite as good, but similar to the VY style of play.

If you think about it, the toughest conference wouldn't yield TWO of the top top 3 highest winning percentages over such a period of time. Again, it shows that the B12 South is pretty much run by Texas and Oklahoma and they beat up on everyone else. Having two perennial top feeders doesn't prove that division is the toughest.

Doesn't that just prove the East is stronger? If you've got 3 good teams they all can't win all the time but they're all in the top 17.

With 2 100 teams? That's not tough.

No one said the B12 South wasn't tough. You were arguing it was the toughest in the country. SEC East is still tougher.

Sorry but I think SEC East is tougher than the B12 South year in and year out, every year. The B12 is Texas and Oklahoma. And, then sometimes OSU will be decent, maybe TA&M is ok. It's still just Texas and Oklahoma.

At least with the SEC East, they have three teams always in the mix in Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. And, their secondary teams are better with South Carolina and Kentucky.

The SEC West might be tougher on a given year, but they don't have the consistency of the SEC East, and they're starting to be ruled by one school, LSU. Both Auburn and Alabama have not been able to be consistently great like LSU has.

OU - UF (SEC)
UT - UGA (push, due to title)
A&M - Tenn (SEC)
Okie St - UK (B12)
Tech - USC (B12)
Baylor - Vandy (SEC)

I see your point.

Recent history says ttek is the 3rd best team in the B12. They are the only B12 team to be.500 or better the last 14-15 years in a row. Even Tennessee and UGA have had at least one losing season during that time.

UK might have whooped OSU this year, but to put UK ahead of OSU is either ignornant or uninformed. OSU has 60 wins the past 10 years while UK has 46. Last 20 is 108 - 88. Last 30 is 168 - 138. etc

And I'm not going to defend uo, but no way in hell Fla is a better program than them. Ya'll are looking at just one year when you compare head-to-head. We are talking all the time.

you are a true fan when you are arguing your way from 6th to 5th place in your conference, normally at that point nobody gives a shit

Yeah, thanks for jumping in with a worthless after I defended your team when they got completely embarrased for the 2nd year in a row. You are right, Ohio loses to big teams because the conf they play in is weak and they don't know what real competition is. And you obviously can't even read the point because due to your quote you way missed it.

how many BCS games has Oklahoma State played in? yeah shut the fuck up, Ohio State is 10x the school Okie State is.

Plus, this was a rebuilding year for Ohio State. Oklahoma State could bring in their best team and not even sniff a BCS Game

:lol Your facts haven't supported anything but my arguements. You posts stats about the big 12 and then I post stats showing the SEC is better and you don't refute it, you just state the same stuff over and over. Big 12 south is not as good as the SEC East and anyone who knows college football wouldn't state otherwise but you. It's not like I'm saying the Big 12 south is trash and the SEC east is unbeatable, they're a good division just not the toughest in college football. Anyway this arguement will never be resolved until we get a playoff and teams actually get to play each other.

And just remember what that SEC east team did to your Big 12 school at the beginning of the year. I think the score was something like 35-14 and that was before they were even playing close to the level they were at the end of the year.
