Forgot that one. I always just remember Bama doing some cane stomping in '91.
So of da U's 5 NC's only 3 were won on their home field....only
USC only has 1 NC won away from the Rose Bowl right?
Like I said...lets play some "neutral" games in Cleveland, Cincy or hell even Columbus and see how comfortable other teams would be with that.

Correct - only 1 of USC's NC's since the AP poll started in 1936 was finished off with a non Rose-Bowl win. (2004)
But their NC's in '62 and '67 were voted before the Bowl games, as was the Coaches Poll NC in '72 (AP waited until after their Rose Bowl win that year).
So it could be said that their NC's from national polls were benefited by playing in the Rose Bowl only after these seasons: '72 (AP, they'd already won UPI), '74 (AP), '78 (AP), and '03 (AP).
They also won Rose Bowls and are considered to have won an NC after the '31 and '32 seasons, but I don't know if the Bowl games were factored into the services that determined the NC back then (I'm guessing they were not).
I agree with your point, however. I would have liked to have seen tOSU play a Bowl Game in Ohio after the '70, '74, '75, and '79 seasons.

Typically can catch that early Thursday Evening or at 7PM-EST on Wednesday. Wish they had the Buckeye Replay at a more convenient time (DVR only for me).
Here meanwhile is the view from Ed Grimley wannabe
Josh Michaels at the Purdue Student newspaper "The Exponent"
Sum and substance - he wants a win over Ohio State so that he cleanse his mind of an awful thing that happened to Purdue when they faced a high ranked Wisonsin team on October 16th, 2004.
Don't they teach student journalist's NOT to indulge convoluted logic these days. It makes you sound so -- weak. Oh, wait Mandel - SI.com, never-mind.
Don't run the ball when your up 14-0? l know this guy that wears sweater vests and owns a glass football and he would disagree.
"The Exponent" needs a new sports writer.

Purdue might be OSU?s biggest test
Jim Naveau | [email protected] - 10.03.2007
COLUMBUS ? Back in 2003 through 2005, when Ohio State lost on the road and under the lights at places like Penn State, Wisconsin and Northwestern, coach Jim Tressel resisted the idea that his football team struggled under those conditions.
But when it was pointed out on Tuesday that the Buckeyes have seemed to reverse that trend lately with 10 straight road victories, including wins at night at Texas and Iowa last year, and at Minnesota last week, Tressel wasn?t ready to concede there has been some 180-degree turnaround.
?I remember a night game in January where we didn?t do real great,? he said referring to OSU?s 41-14 loss to Florida in the BCS championship game. ?It?s just a faint memory.?
Technically, that game was at a neutral site. But No. 4 Ohio State (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) won?t be in a neutral zone when it goes to No. 23 Purdue (5-0, 1-0 Big Ten) on Saturday night (8 p.m., ABC-TV).

Tiller avoids getting caught in all the hype
(Tiller avoids getting caught in all the hype :: Michael Osipoff :: Post-Tribune)
October 3, 2007
BY MICHAEL OSIPOFF Post-Tribune staff writer
As he headed out of his house at 7:20 on Tuesday morning for a 7:45 meeting, Joe Tiller crossed paths with his next door neighbor, who was picking up her newspaper.
"She says, 'Hi, Joe, I can't wait until Saturday,' " Tiller said on Tuesday afternoon. "I'm thinking to myself, 'Slow down, I have to go to practice. You can't wait, but I can.' Saturday will come too soon, as far as I'm concerned, just because you always want to make sure you have all your 'Is' dotted and all your 'Ts' crossed."
The anticipation among Purdue fans for the Boilermakers' game against Ohio State on Saturday night is undeniable, the buzz audible.
Tiller can downplay the magnitude of the game all he wants.
But there's no getting around the significance of it for Purdue.
The Boilermakers might not have played a more meaningful game since Oct. 16, 2004, a crushing 20-17 homecoming loss to Wisconsin when they were ranked No. 5 and the Badgers were ranked No. 10.
This is one of those litmus test games. If the Boilermakers win -- and use such a victory as a springboard to bigger and better things -- it will go down in lore, an indelible memory.
Or will it?

In the spotlight: Boilers, Buckeyes take center stage in early showdown
October 3, 2007
BY MICHAEL OSIPOFF Post-Tribune staff writer
Three undefeated teams remain in the Big Ten.
Two of them will be on the field at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday night, under the lights in a prime-time game, among the week's marquee matchups.
Purdue (1-0 Big Ten), ranked No. 20 in the coaches' poll and No. 23 in the AP poll, will try to move to 6-0 for the first time since 1943. Ohio State (5-0,
2-0), ranked No. 4 in both polls, has a school-record 23 straight regular-season victories.
"I don't think of it being a prime-time game; I just think about it being a Big Ten game against a top-ranked team," said Purdue coach Joe Tiller, whose team hasn't played Ohio State since a 24-17 victory in 2004 in West Lafayette to end a three-game losing streak to the Buckeyes. "If you're going to be in a position at the end of the season to challenge for something in the conference, you need to do well against a team like this."
The Buckeyes have won the last two conference titles but were picked third in the preseason after losing skill-position stars such as Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, Ted Ginn Jr. and Antonio Pittman. Still, as the calendar has turned to October, they seem to have established themselves as the team to beat again.

Ohio State football team's top defense to battle Purdue's high-powered offense
Wednesday, October 03, 2007 Doug Lesmerises
Plain Dealer Reporter
Columbus- It's the Big Ten's No. 1 offense against the Big Ten's No. 1 defense, and in three days, one of them may be exposed as a fraud.
When Purdue's offense, averaging 495 yards per game, and Ohio State's defense, giving up just 197 yards per game, hook up at Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday, both can't live up to their rankings. Though the No. 4 Buckeyes (5-0, 2-0 Big Ten) and No. 23 Purdue (5-0, 2-0) meet in this week's only matchup of undefeated teams, it remains difficult to be completely impressed with their accomplishments.
Both have played a team from the lower level Football Championship Subdivision, so toss out those victories - OSU over Youngstown State and Purdue over Eastern Illinois. The other four games haven't offered much resistance.

Big Ten notebook: Tiller willing to wait for showdown

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Purdue coach Joe Tiller walked out of his house headed for work yesterday morning as his next-door neighbor was picking a newspaper off her driveway. "I can't wait for Saturday to get here," she hollered.
"I can," Tiller remembered saying to himself.
"I'm thinking, 'We've got a heck of a lot of work to do before Saturday. I can wait for it to get here.'"

Woody Rules!
After watching the Purdue - ND game, I'm less worried about Purdue's team than about this being a road game at night.
I think we for sure hold them top less than 20, and I think we'll be able to move the ball against them.
Turnover margin no worse than -1 and we win.
Turnover margin in our favor and we win comfortably (score similar to the Washington game)
They always play us tough, and this one will have us all nervous until about 10 minutes left in the game.
