tOSU's BCS Bowl possibilities

I would say it would be unlikely to be honest

If i'm not mistaken the Fiesta would get the first pick for a replacement and most likely they would take OSU. Then again if we get passed on by the fiesta we would go to the Sugar bowl which would put us against an SEC team.

Saying that Utah would be 3rd in the MAC...that's wtf. That is funny to me. The MAC is terrible. To MWC is the best mid major conference this year. So I don't think the MWC Champions would be 3rd in ANY other mid major conference. It was just a silly statement in my opinion.
Anyone who says "Utah vs. Alabama would be a great game," as you did on the previous page, shouldn't be laughing at another poster's statement. If you disagree, fine, but you have to realize you're in a glass house.

They can't be that good after being worn down and pushed around in the fourth quarter in their game against Michigan. After struggling in that game just imagine their woes against Alabama's linemen. MAC bottom-feeder, Toledo, had similar results against Mich, and generally the MAC was more than competitive against the Big 10. It definitely isn't as bad as you say it is.

As a college football fan i enjoy watching a lot of games, but that doesn't mean i can't call a weak BCS matchup if i see one. If Oregon State wins, we are really looking at a bad potential bowl season. Im not talking about my personal opinion, im talking about from a national standpoint these matchups would be extremely weak. The only way i could understand someone here rooting for Oregon State is for the sole purpose of jacking up the bcs and i can understand that if you are wanting the BCS to fail.

If Oregon State Loses to Oregon however, we could be talking about some Great BCS Matchups,...Probably...

NC: Oklahoma vs Florida
Rose: Penn State vs USC
Fiesta: Texas vs Ohio State
Maybe Bama vs Utah and Cincy vs ACC

and as an Ohio State/big 10 fan how could you not love that..The big 10 would be playing the number 3 and 4 teams that got screwed out of the BCS most likely, giving the conference a chance to shine, as well as giving Ohio State a chance to finish the season with a BANG rather than beating a number 11 Georgia team.

Buckeyes stuck in travel limbo
OSU hoping for spot in BCS game

COLUMBUS - The Ohio State Buckeyes are in a familiar, if somewhat fidgety, position right now. All they can do is watch and wait while the convoluted bowl game snafu gets sorted out.

The No. 10-ranked Buckeyes fit into the picture somewhere ... somewhere between Miami and New Orleans and Phoenix and Pasadena. All Saturday's 42-7 win over rival Michigan really determined was a fourth straight Big Ten championship for Ohio State and a couple weeks of time spent in limbo.

"We don't know - nobody knows where we're gonna end up at this point - so all we can do is relax and see what happens," Ohio State senior offensive lineman Alex Boone said. "You can get a headache just thinking about all the possibilities."

Ohio State players wait to see where they will spend New Year's
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
BY TODD PORTER
[email protected]

COLUMBUS After a quarterback change and an identity search, Brian Hartline admitted one thing and was adamant about another after Ohio State ended its regular season with a 42-7 win over Michigan on Saturday.

First, the GlenOak High School graduate said it wasn't an easy transition going from Todd Boeckman to Terrelle Pryor at quarterback. But that's in the past.

Ohio State is looking forward, and waiting, to find out where it will play its bowl game.

If Oregon State beats Oregon this weekend and represents the Pac-10 in the Rose Bowl, the Buckeyes likely are out of a BCS bowl. They would land in the Capital One Bowl in Orlando, Fla.

BYU who played nobody and is mormon..

Is that really a part of your argument? What a fallacy.

Elephant said:
and oregon state who lucked up big time and got drilled by penn state.

"Lucked up big time" against whom? USC? How the hell does someone "luck up big time" 1) in the first place and 2) against USC?

Oregon State has deserved everything they've gotten this year from the losses at the beginning of the year to the top 20 ranking now. You need to come up with some substantive argument if you're going to be sloughing this shit around.

People rank them good because they love the under dog..

[sarcasm]Yeah... that's evident from past history.[/sarcasm]

Very well documented this happens and i have personnally been told it happens.

You mean to tell me a mormon school has more talent than a georgia or an ohio state? yea believe it or not that does play a factor. They don't have steve young back there. If they did I would be be singing a different tune. Schools like TCU, UTAH, and BYU don't get top talent...they can't...the big boys do...If you put those teams in major conference such as the big 12, sec, and the big 10 and they wouldn't be where they are now and the only reason they are where they are at now is because of schedule. Hell the local high school team down the road from here is 12-0 so do they deserve a shot at the BCS?

Luck? Sure was...they can play 20 times and USC would spank them 19. If they win the PAC 10 then congrats to them and they should go to the BCS but it puts the Rose in a bind where people aren't going to want to watch a rematch of Penn State stomping a mudhole in them. This whole coverstation was about matching the best of the best. Now you jumped in knit picking what I said. Playoffs are needed and there is no way around that because now we are faced with watching a solid national title game, a good fiesta, and a capital one bowl that looks like it could be better than those two. But other than that its going to be a dissapointment.....


Provide nothing...I know a good deal of coaches in this state from the college level all the way to the pro level. Not going to get into this, especially with you or anyone else on a web site.

am i correct in this?

we have two possibilities right now. fiesta vs UT or cap1 vs UGA. if that is correct i don't see how we lose (from an entertainment standpoint). both of those would be wonderful football games to watch and to attend!

LaDanian Tomlinson? You need not look very far to find PLENTY of talent that's come from mid-major conferences. It might not be highly recruited talent but there's plenty of it there. Just because it's not highly recruited talent doesn't mean it's not talent. Some of the best football players of all time didn't even play D1 football. Weak sauce arguments man.

This bodes well for tOSU's BCS chances

Oregon State freshman star Jacquizz Rodgers is doubtful for Saturday's Civil War game against Oregon because of a shoulder injury. A Rose Bowl bid is on the line for the No. 17 Beavers (8-3, 7-1 Pac-10) in the annual rivalry game against the Ducks (8-3, 6-2), but Rodgers, the Pac-10's leading rusher, could be watching from the sidelines.

Even without his ouster due to injury it was always a toss-up in a Rivalry game between two relatively well matched teams.

Without Jones in the backfield the Ducks chances of an "upset" just became that much stronger.

And tOSU's chances of a BCS berth also improved. Sorry muffler dragon - definitely a weekend for Bucks to cheer Ducks.

Great Point...LT, Big Ben, TO, and the list can go on and on...But lets be honest...Thats all those teams had! Miami of Ohio had Big Ben....Georgia has that type of guy at qb plus they have moreno, great duo at reciever, and studs at linebackers...Same with Ohio State, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, LSU, Florida, UCS and so on...Great talent is definetly found in the mid major buts its not in large numbers compared to the big boys
