PSU, OSU, UW and Iowa will all win their bowl games. NW has a chance, Minnesota, not so much and MSU could pull it off.

Yes, Texas is good but nobody in the Big 12 plays any defense. OSU can play defense and the fact that Pryor will be going against the so so defense of Texas gives OSU the edge.

USC vs. PSU is much more of a tossup in my mind. Yes, USC won the pac 10 this year but the pac 10 was bad bad bad.....

Oh, for the other BSC games: Florida, Cincy and Bama will win.

BTW, did you know that the two coaches in the NC game both went to catholic high schools in the mecca of football! The great state of Ohio!

Meyer went to St. John high school in Ashtabula and Stoops to Youngstown Cardinal Mooney!

Yeah, they beat that whole Meyer/Ohio thing into the ground A LITTLE before the 06 game.

My favorite tidbit is that Stoops was a Gator before he was a Sooner. :D

Jim Tressel (Ohio State), Ron Zook (Illinois), Gary Pinkel (Missouri), Les Miles (LSU), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma), Mike Stoops (Arizona), Bo Pelini (Nebraska), Jim Harbaugh (Stanford), Tom O'Brien (NC State).

Of course they did! Where did you expect them to go? Bowling Green? Kent? Akron? There is only one THE Ohio State University and we already have the best coach, so they would need to go elsewhere.

Plus Harbaugh and Miles are never welcome inside our borders again based on their affiliation with that school up north.

No I believe he is the new coach at Auburn. Does anyone know if Charles Barkley is a graduate of Auburn? I love the guy but if he didn't graduate I don't think they should call Auburn his alma mater.

USC vs. PSU is much more of a tossup in my mind. Yes, USC won the pac 10 this year but the pac 10 was bad bad bad.....

They also crushed OSU by a rather embarrassing 35-3

Careful Josh, the fOSU homers will undoubtedly say that was a fluke because it was a *totally* different team without Beanie or Pryor. If *they* had been in the game, they would have stomped USC.

Poster, life is too short to be so bitter. Sorry to hear THE Ohio State University gets under your skin.

There was no fluke about the a$$ kicking the Buckeyes took in the Coliseum. Would it have been a different game with Beanie? Any logical thinking person would say absolutely. Enough to overcome 32 points....NO WAY!

I hate Michigan more than I hate OSU so I'll defend you. Yes Beanie Wells would have made a difference but how much I am not sure. Then again he had a hard time against my Nittany Lions. Also Kirk Herbstreit or Herb Kirkstreit, whatever his name is picked PSU over USC.

Joepa will soon have players that are great grandkids of former players. Scary!

jacasa - 2008-12-11 11:43 AM Be careful of my beloved Buckeyes (would you expect me to say anything else)! Texas feels "cheated" out of a shot at the NC game. The Buckeyes have to prove to themselves and the country that they can play with anyone. They have the talent, they just need to perform. I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin, you know what I'm sayin! GO BUCKS!

I agree totally with your assesment of this game. This game interests me for the exact reasons you pointed out.

For me it comes down to McCoy vs your Froshman (I can't remember his name, not being disrespectful it just escapes me right now). We know what we're going to see in McCoy...your kid is a wild card, he has looked like a world beater at times and clueless at times.

That would be Mr. Terrell Pryor. If he can just "not lose the game" I think he and Beanie can do enough!

What's the type of offense that gives tOSU fits? The spread.
What does Texas run? The Spread.
How many QBs has tOSU faced this year that put up the stats & wins that Colt McCoy has? 0.
What's tOSU's achilles heel? Defenses with speed.
What does Texas have plenty of? Defensive speed.
Texas' record vs top-25 opponents: 3-1, with their only loss coming at the last second on the road vs a team ranked #2
tOSU's record vs top-25 opponents: 1-2, with their only win coming against #20 Michigan State
Texas' total offense: #9 nationally
tOSU's total offense: #78 nationally(one spot below Texas A&M, which means tOSU would be last in the Big 12)

When even the tOSU homer Lou Holtz is saying the Buckeyes are in trouble, you've got to wonder what your chances are.

I sent an email to Coach Tressel and Gene Smith (Athletic Director) that based on these statistics and considering the tough economic times that THE Ohio State University cancel their trip to the Fiesta Bowl and save some cash. It is quite obvious that we have ZERO chance of winning. I am sure Coach Tressel's response will be the same when I told him not to show up against Miami U for the NC game in 2002. "Let's play the game and see what happens".

Typical anti-Buckeye response. But, you are right, it was a bogus interference call. It was actually defensive holding.

BTW, scoring more points than the other team has nothing to do with luck. The better team won that night and the better team will win on January 5th!

I actually know Ron Zook personally. When he coached at Ohio State he lived across the street from us. He may not have won the games that Gators fans want to see, but you won't find a classier, more sincere person. He and his family are MUCH better off at Illinois!
