Virginia Tech also played Marshall in a monsoon, with a backup kicker so there is that.

The fact that Wisconsin isn't a top 20 team is a problem with the polls, not Ohio State's schedule.

Rittenberg is a fucking B-one-G honk. What do you expect him to say?

To be fair, Arizona State and BYU could very easily combine for 17-19 wins total. That's better than the entire OOC slate for many top teams this year, mine included.

They could also easily combine for 13 wins too.

 

[Sox33OSU]

BYU lost to UVA though?

They also kicked the shit out of Texas.

False. They would both have to tank epically out of nowhere for that to happen considering they already have 10 combined wins with 10 games remaining.

Lol so playing a good ASU team on the road at night, and also playing BYU, is crap?

Your blind hate for Wisconsin will never cease to amaze me.

Sorry if I don't think ASU is a good team. They couldn't even beat ND. And BYU is average. Both are 5 loss teams IMO. Don't hate Wisky I just don't think they deserve a BCS game because they will have beaten NOBODY. Am I exactly wrong in saying that? No, you can't handle the truth.

3-7 isn't out of the question if you ask me. More likely they go a combined 4-6 IMO.

The only team ASU has left that they will not be favored against is UCLA. BYU will likely be favored in 2-3 of their final 5.

No. We can only consider what is in the final box score for games we don't watch.

Losing to WhoVA trounces any acomplishnent.

I actually was able to catch that one. You can normally catch Marshall games in most parts of Ohio is it's against a bigger opponent.

That was an ugly, ugly game, and VT also got an absurd no-call PI on the last play of the game that even the announcers were going nuts about. Also, was Marshall also not playing in the same monsoon?

VT won the ACC recently after losing to James Madison at home. Your argument is invalid.

 

[The Authority]

It's not trolling ya crybaby.

I told you last week Ohio St wasn't a top 10 team. They did nothing against Iowa in Columbus that Northern Illinois or Mich St didn't already do in Iowa City.

What part of that slips past your gray matter?

You seem to have forgot that your opinion doesn't matter.

 

[Red_Alert]

If not for the refs stealing the win from them, Wisconsin would be a top 10 team right now, no questions asked. They belong in the BCS this year if they win out, and they could very well make it.

The N'western win lost it's luster, so now Ohio St and the B-one-G media honks need to regurgitate Wisconsin's loss to ASU for even a sliver of justification for Ohio St's top 5 ranking. That should tell anyone all they need to know.

They can't find a quality win, so a "shoulda' won" (even tho no points were taken off the board) loss will have to suffice.

Newsflash!!! Arizona St isn't much above average and y'all wanna hang your hat on a two point loss vs a coulda' shoulda' one point win IF Wisky makes a FG. .

Yet you have nothing to back up your assertion, still. You're clearly wrong as everyone but OSU haters has them well inside the top 10, yet you continue to bitch and moan about them.

ASU will not be favored @Utah. Hell they may even lose their next game against Wazzu. Oregon St at home will be tough too. BYU could lose to wisky, ND, Boise St and @Nevada.

Trying to push your point when nobody is arguing the opposite is the most obvious sign of trolling that there is. Please, just knock it off already. You're making yourself and your fellow Huskers looked fuckin retarded.

opening line ASU will be -5 1/2 @ Utah.

ASU historically starts good then shits the bed late.

I do feel Graham has that fixed. After you see what Oregon does to UCLA Saturday, I believe you will agree ASU will be the South champ.

Now, they do have to face a scary Oregon State team. In the desert so they have that. But damn, Oregon State is ballin right now. Dangerous for anyone including Oregon.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Wize guys are all over Oregon vs UCLA.

line opened at -17, already up to -23 1/2

Oregon could also lose to Arizona. It's college football. If anything, the last 2 weeks have taught us that upsets can happen, no question. I'm just saying 4-6 is not likely, so I'm not sure why you single out Wisconsin's OOC when many, many other teams face worse ones.
