ESPN at 2:30

I likely won't be able to post in here because of the bastard that stoe my TV this week. We need a statement win. Winning by ten won't be enough. This one needs to get ugly to send the idea that we are a BCS team.

If things go right this week, we are a Clemson loss to SoCar or a Stanford loss to Notre Dame away from being the heavy favorite for the Orange Bowl.

Wisconsin wins by 2 touchdowns. Minnesota will have the dream coming into the second half i believe, but the dream dies there.

Unless Michigan State got blown out by Ohio State in the Big Ten Championship, they would be the 2nd team from the Big Ten in the BCS. They are ranked much higher than Wisconsin and have been very impressive. 10-1 and won their division.

Please realize that very rarely does a team lose their CCG and get selected for a BCS game. Wisconsin is a bigger draw and will bring in more TV ratings. I hate saying that but it's true. The only way Michigan State makes a BCS game is if they get a win over Ohio State.

Georgia the last two seasons, Michigan State two years ago were both over looked for teams in their own conference for teams that they beat (well Georgia two years ago obviously wasn't a team that they beat but still).

It is perception. Michigan State didn't catch people's eye in 2011. Georgia couldn't go because there were 2 SEC teams in the BCS for sure. Only 2 can go.

I actually think MSU beats Ohio State. Their D is ranked 1 in the country.

MSU also had 2 losses in 2011 going into the B10 championship. They only have 1 this year.

I have a three week avatar bet with an OSU fan on that game.
