I'm sorry, but OSU should not be in the NCG.

So who you've lost to is more important than who you've beat? What is your criteria for a team being deserving of passing another team with a better record?

Apparently the criteria is simply being the team he roots for.

 

[WhiteMamba]

didn't your team just surrender over 600 yards and 40 points to a team that almost lost to akron?

Dude your team barely beat WSU @ home. You want to go down that comparison road?



WHo cares?

the criteria is the 2 best teams. ohio state hasn't played a top 20 team. they are like notre dame 2012 without the quality wins.

Um ..that's one game,..not ALL season, hell Washington state outplayed you all game .they are playing the bowl game this week I think.

sure, let's compare them

auburn - 3x as many wins over ranked teams as both teams in the big 10 championship game combined.

And you guys wanted Auburn to beat Alabama.

The only team you beat was Bama. Great win. Epic game.

All the other ranked wins mean nothing.

Do you honestly feel aTm should be ranked?

And Bama being under the SI curse greatly diminishes that win anyway.

No in my chaos theory I needed Alabama to win both of their games, Michigan State to beat Ohio State, ASU over Stanford, Oklahoma over Okie State, and Winston to get charged so Duke would have a prayer of beating FSU. That would put Michigan State in the title game. Way to F that up. The rest (other than Winston and FSU) looks at least possible.

they played 3 top 5 teams within a touchdown. they haven't lost to a team outside the top 15. they beat ole miss on the road and vanderbilt which are both top ~35 teams or so.

so yeah, i think being at the bottom of the top 25 seems about right.

and if none of auburn's other wins mean anything, then can we safely say that ohio state has literally no wins that mean anything?

 

[Sox33OSU]

Why was it that, when talking about OSU's wins in 2012, Nebraska and Michigan were always omitted even though they were ranked, however you're touting 2 wins over teams that are also not in the top 20?

Hypocrite much?

Not ever year does the best team play for a championship. Its the teams with the best records.

Congratulations they are a bunch of losers and can't seem to close the deal. They are like the guy who goes to the bar and hits on the girl and gets a drink thrown in their face. "Hey guys, I almost scored with her". They lost and get over it and stop pimping them like they are a great team. Great teams do not lose 4 games. Also stop pimping ole miss and vandy. They suck too and would be sub .500 in the Big10.

 

[rmilia1]

"Ranked teams" is largely a biased deal. Clearly Bama and USCe would be ranked regardless of bias but none of the other wins by Auburn are clear cut better than a multitude of OSU's wins. Is UGA better than Iowa or Michigan?? Hell if I know. If they are its certainly not by much, same for A&M. Claiming superiority on a higher scale based off of wins over 2 4 loss teams is suspect at best. Now Auburn would have better wins either way but lets not pretend that a win over A&M is something special ( same for UGA ) I mean Clemson beat a full strength UGA and FSU won at Clemson by 37. A&M has no good wins this year really.

How's it feel knowing that everyone that matters feels that Ohio state is better than Auburn despite the schedules of the teams?

You nailed it David. This just looks like a year when we won't have the best in the NCG. It happens.

How else do you decide the best teams other than records?

 

[Jonny Valtimore]

FSU vs Ohio State would be an awesome National Title game. Probably one of the best game scenarios of all top 10 match ups with Braxton and Jameis and the athletes both teams have on both sides of the ball.

Both teams have awesome offenses and defenses, and if anyone is thinking that if Ohio State makes it to that game they don't have a chance you've been drinking too much kool aid.

Come on, sakau. If you're not a troll, why can't you just answer such a simple question?
