With how much it was that Ohio State has dominated the Big 10 since the inception of the BCS, you would have expected them to have more than one trip there. Even if you take out the three National Championship games people ARE still calling it the Big 1 little 9.

Which is amusing since Ohio State has won one Big Ten title since 2009, but they made the most of it.
The focus now is on NC and rankings, right or wrong.

Fielding H. Yost became Michigan's head coach in 1901 and guided his "Point-a-Minute" squads to a streak of 56 games without a defeat, spanning from his arrival until the season finale in 1905, including a victory in the 1902 Rose Bowl, the first college football bowl game ever played.

Ohio State will never not care about winning the conference championship and beating Michigan. The other things are great, but in years when they are out of reach (meaning most years) The conference and Michigan are big deal. And even if they do win a natty, if they do it while losing to Michigan, there will still be a lot of sting.

So don't pretend that the only thing that matters is a national ranking.

Who ever said beating MI was not important? You seem to have read a lot that was not there. For instance say last year tOSU won the NC. Do you think they would care about not winning the B1G? This fan say no, would not give a rats ass.

How many of you know Alabama has been an Affiliate Member of the Big XII Conference since 2014? The Crimson Tide joined the other teams in the Big XII for just one sport but they are officially an Affiliate Member.

Florida has won its first game of the season in 26 of the last 27 years. The only team they didn't defeat? Idaho.

"and"...what?

The OP said..."tell me something I don't know about CFB."

I replied...FSU is the only team to play in the inaugural game of 4 bowls and then
I listed the bowls.

Is there something that you are struggling with...?
