Beat Michigan, Win B10, and win another BCS Bowl

[AirForceBuck]

Going into the the scUM game in 2003, tOSU was #2 in the BCS poll. We had just jumped LSU after our OT victory against Purdue. The media made a big stink about it yada yada yada. But going into 2003 scUM game, tOSU was #2 in the BCS poll, so a win over scUM would have put our 11-1 Bucks in the national title game against Chokelahoma.

From what Im getting, we werent #2, but #4 in week 14. Because in week 15, we fell after the Michigan loss.

The page you brought me to had the BCS rankings from last year. In 2003 we were #4 in the polls, but we were #2 in the BCS. That's why the media made a big stink about it. I don't have a link, that's just what I remember off the top of my head, so I can understand why you don't believe me. But I can remember the SportsCenter intro. for the BCS rankings before the Mich. game. They said something along the lines of "and why Ohio State is jumping for joy." I remember us being #2 in the BCS, but I have been wrong, but I am 99.9% positive that tOSU was in fact #2 in the BCS and if we had beaten scUM, we would have played in the Title game.
