Is it time to give Ohio State some respect?

Lol, if that makes you feel better go right ahead. The SEC had as many bowl wins last year as the B1G has had in 3 years, and we've had as many losing bowl records in the last 10 years as you guys have had winning records.

Hey, you brought up bowl games, not me.

I don't think Minny is overrated, but they have a pretty good team in a bad year for the B1G conference.

I think the biggest strike against Ohio State, from a conference schedule standpoint, is that a team like Penn State (likely 7-5 season record) was able to take them to OT. OSU dominated most the other teams (besides Minny and PSU), but I'm not sure they've had enough big wins to impress the playoff committee. I don't think Indiana or Michigan will help their case much either.

you must not think much of FSU then.........

I find it funny when people say about one team, "but good teams find a way to win, even if its ugly"...... LMAO. Can't use that theory about 2 OSU games though. :rollseyes::L

So that means what for this year?

I don't think much of FSU, but they are undefeated, so there you have it. If they lose a game, they most certainly won't be in the playoffs IMO.

Sorry, I was paying more attention to my team kicking the shit out of a ranked team.

I guess I should have been watching more closely the one where your team was having to come from behind in the final minutes to beat an unranked one.

Lol, Minnesota finishes with Wisconsin and Nebraska, and has 1 win against a plus .500 team, when they finish the year ranked, let me know.

Typical B1G fans, don't watch anybody outside their conference and can't understand why nobody has any respect for them.

You realize all those numbers could and probably will change right ?

Absolutely, but I can't predict that now. Do you know what the numbers will be? We can only go by what is happening now, and those are rankings.

You and Belcherboy apparently don't watch much football outside the B1G, either that or you have shit for memory.

No doubt I'm an idiot! :10:

So that means what for this year?

Did the B1G suddenly get better? You are 5-12 OOC THIS year and you have 1 win over a ranked team...what would possibly make you think you are going to be substantially better this bowl season than last...or the year before that...or the year before that...

I was talking about Michigan St. Derp.

That game was on at the same time as the LSU Bama game. Forgive me for not watching your snooze fest Part III more closely. (I had it on in my 3 TV man cave just wasn't paying attention to it)

even though I watched the game, What does watching BAma barely beat Arkansas or any other SEC game, have to do with the Big 10 getting respect. Furthermore, according the rankings, the Big 10 gets plenty of respect.

You should try actually making sense sometime.

The good part for the B1G is that their WORST team beat the first place SEC East team this year.

I have TONS of respect for the West, but the East isn't very good. The West should just branch off and start their own conference. :suds:

ummm because they are actually competitive in a lot of those games you brought up. Do you ever watch them or do you just look at the score and make up your own mind about how the game went?

Is your tiny brain capable of actually analyzing a game and realize that they are actually close and could go either way with bounce here or a bounce there or plus or minus an injury?

This is what you fail at.

and yet the BIG is 1 and 1 versus the SEC this year.

I actually think UGA might be the best the SEC has to offer this year. My guess is that Missouri will lose to Ark and UGA will beat whichever team from the West gets in.

People focus too much on OOC. Those games constitute 25-33% of your season and in most instances they occur while you are still figuring out your team. For teams that have alot of experience back that isnt as big a deal but for teams that are replacing people it is. I dont think Miss State should be disqualified because their OOC sucks, I just think that IF your OOC sucks then you should have to win AT LEAST your division in order to be called one of the 4 best teams in the country. In a perfect world itd be great id everyone played 9 conference games and at least 1 OOC game vs a P5 team but that likely isnt going to happen anytime soon. That means you have to look at the season in total. You have to look at when teams lost, who they lost to, were they missing key people, who did they beat and where did they beat them. If you do ALL that then MSU/OSU/Baylor and TCU are all pretty interchangeable. That means you have to think like the committee and the force that will be televising the games. That really leaves you with OSU as your only option. Its not really even that close if you do it like that.

This is what you fail at.

Even if you won all the competitive games you wouldn't get to .500. If we were talking about 1 game or 1 season that would be one thing, but we are not...you continuously have shitty OOC and bowl records. Why would any rational person think that this year is going to be different.

I will guarantee that I've watched more B1G games this year than you've watched SEC games, because anyone that has watched games outside the B1G would know the difference.

Take last week's game as an example...the one where Barrett ran 85 yards without being touched by a Minnesota DB...Barrett runs a 4.8 40 on a good day...and he was running away from 4 DB's who all had a decent angle on him...do you honestly think there is any team in the top 10 that happens against.

By contrast Prescott runs a 4.6 40, but more than one of you posers has called him slow since the Bama game.

You guys are taking delusion to a whole new level.

You guys have no clue, I can hardly wait for January. Go Buckeyes!!!!

Not sure what you're so excited about, Bama's not going to make it to the playoffs.
