Man, after all the talk of the media about how OSU could be jumped by Baylor, now what happens when there should be some talk about OSU jumping FSU due to the very real possibility of Winston rape charges? All I heard on ESPN was about how it could affect Winston in the Heisman race, zero mention of FSU being jumped by OSU. I guess I don't have to ask why the poll jump hype doesn't cut both ways.

While the BCS has plenty of flaws and fuck ups, it did get it really right a couple times. 2002 & 2005. Pre-BCS neither of those games happen, and post-BCS all four of those teams would have to play an extra game

This is where the loss of scholarships the last 3 years really hurts. The extra playoff game requires additional depth. The lack of depth is affecting special teams this year.

Because FSU still has to lose, and the chances of losing either of its last two games are slim....even without Winston

Jus' sayin'... I think I'd just as soon have the Bucks finish 3rd and go to the Rose Bowl. I'm not able to watch a football game on TV and analyze the way a football coach would, but based on the little I've seen of Alabama - the game with A&M and the game with LSU - they're a very balanced team. They don't make many mistakes on either side of the ball. They don't lose their composure in big games - although they had their hands full in the final quarter with A&M and a mobile QB who could find and hit receivers.

In comparison, the Buckeyes are thin - very thin - at linebacker, the DBs have been playing much better of late, but they play off the ball/receivers from the 20 to the 20. McCarron is the type of QB who could carve this defense apart if the front four can't get pressure on him.

The Buckeye offense has talent at the right spots, a mobile QB, depth at running back, good receiver corps, to make Alabama's defense vulnerable.

I think it would be a good game, but that Alabama would pull away in the 4th quarter. I think the Buckeyes are about 1.5 recruiting classes away from being ready to defeat an Alabama team as deep in talent and experience as this one.

We might never have Alabama's level of depth. Oversigning, fabricated med scholarships, year-to-year scholarships

This defeatist shit is depressing. I want tOSU to play for the title. Even losing in the title game helps recruiting. The players have beat every team they've played over two years. They deserve a chance. They've earned it. I don't think there's a team in CFB that can beat tOSU at it's best. Fuck tsun
