Yertle;999260; said:Agreed. I was just saying that the winner of the Kansas/Mizzou game only has the B12 title game left on their schedule. I'm assuming that even if Kansas loses, they're out. I have trouble seeing a 1-loss KU team staying above the Buckeyes. So, the winner just needs to beat Oklahoma (probably) to make the NC game.
But, trust me, I'll be the biggest Sooner fan in Ohio on December 1st!
And as far as the "let's just be happy with the Rose Bowl" stuff goes, it's time for a reality check. We're not talking about Iowa, Wisconsin, or even Michigan. WE ROOT FOR THE BUCKEYES! We root for a team that shoots for the NC GAME EVERY SINGLE YEAR! Starting WR's and RB gone? So what. Heisman trophy QB gone? Big deal. This is what separates the Buckeyes from the rest of the Big 10. This is why Tressel has won 3 straight Big 10 championships. This is why he's headed to his 5th BCS game in 6 years. Sure, we're happy to make the Rose Bowl. It's still the Granddaddy. But, ask any Buckeye player if they'd rather be playing in New Orleans. You think any one of them would say no? Give me a break. The ultimate goal at THE Ohio State University is National Championships.
the National Championship is mythical, always has been, and always will be. there's a reason that the NCAA doesn't recognize them in major football. the goal of Ohio State is to win the Big Ten, beat TSUN, and win whatever bowl game they're in. the MNC is just icing on the cake.
