we win the 93 title if not for a phantom clipping call, and got beat deep on a forth and inches roll out against texas int the big 12 title game to prevent a rematch with florida in 96(and we all know how that game would have went if played) we were very close to 5 in 5 years
Ohio State good? Yeah, in their weak division maybe. Oh, they are also good at making it to the Championship game and losing. How Ohio State is being ranked in the Top 10 to start this season after consistently choking is beyond me.
Beating the best team ever :sarcasm in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl will do that for you. The media have a boner for these schools because of the huge alumni base and the proximity to the east coast.
Okay, not sure what your point is....
Actually, now that I think about it, I would rather see something else happen. I think it would be great for Ohio State to make it to the championship game for the third year in a row, and lose. Well, of course they would lose, that's what Ohio State does in the championship game. That would complete their trifecta, and I'm thinking after that, many people would think twice before putting "The Ohio State" in the The Championship game.
I was just saying for all the love you'd think they would had done something more like win a bowl game recently.
Would be hilarious. Might finally get them to change the BCS to include some sort of playoff.
why do people hate ohio state? because they are over hyped and they refuse to put in a championship game. or you know move to a play off(i believe it was gee gorden who said there would be a play off only after they take the bcs from his cold dead hands)
I have already stated why I dislike Ohio State. They are an over-rated team playing in a fluffy conference.
Get real! NU was a machine in the 90s, once they meshed defense with offense. What killed the goose was losing Osborne, not hiring Gill and the Big 12's change in recruiting standards. Solich was a HORRIBLE recruiter and had NU playing like a spread option service academy team. Gill's recruiting and personality would have kept the program up top while adding in some new offensive wrinkles, like the zone read. when KSU, MU and Texas DESTROY NU in the same season, with better dual threat QBs than NU had, then it's time for a change. Gill would have been great in 97 or 2003! Bo will do for now! Just wish the old system would have stayed in tact. USC, Miami, OSU all relied to much on top recruiting classes! NU never was the top school for blue-chips and that's why what they accomplished from 93-97 was so remarkable! No one has done what they have done in 5 DECADES! Close don't get you the cigar! Bye the way, no one has back to back consensus MNCs other than NU since the 1950's!
Over hyped? Probably, but it's not their fault. It's not their fault they play in a "fluffy" conference. It's not their fault their conference doesn't have a championship game. I find it amazing how short some peoples memories are. When we were in the Big 8, the rest of the country felt the same away about us. When we went to the bowl games, we got slaughtered. Ohio State can't make the rest of their conference better. They're not going to not go to the NC game when the BCS puts them there.
Oh boy, so we might get to see Ohio State lose in the championship game for the third year in a row. WOOOOOOOO! Actually, I hope this happens. And I hope whoever faces Ohio State wins by at least 3 TDs. I also hope that USC - even though I hate them - just dominates lil ole Ohio State. That way, a more deserving team can be put in the final game of the season.
I do want a playoff system, but not the one that is used in the NFL or other divisions of college sports. I think those are lame and make the regular season meaningless. You can lose game after game, but as long as you are at least a .500 team, you can make it to the playoffs. That's crap. I don't want a bunch of average teams playing against each other. I would rather have a handful of teams that have been consistent and proven themselves throughout the season. Here is my playoff idea: Playoff Proposal
That's what I would like to see! But it won't be happening anytime soon. So until then, I have to suffer through Ohio State getting their asses handed to them in the title game.
