USC vs. tOSU in Rose Bowl this year?

You guys might get a rematch after what happened on Thursday night. Do you want another shot at them at the end of the year with Pryor feeling comfortable as the starter and Beanie back?
 
I think the SEC is the more common desire for this post-season. Plus SC is already lined up next fall, at home.

The upsets have to slow down quick to keep SC out of the title game, though (as ridiculous as such an outcome would be).

There is always the possibility of this happening. I think the game would be better, and a good series as it would be 3 games in two years. The media would probably give tOSU some more credit if they won, but they could do that next year. I think tOSU would get more credit from the media if they beat an SEC team, either UF, UGA, AU, UA, or LSU, but not anyone like UTenn, or SoCar, which, wouldn't happen unless tOSU went to a shit bowl. Or if tOSU beat UTex, Mizzou, or OU, they would get credit as well, but thats because these are the media's fav teams this year, and who everyone thinks is elite. The media just doesn't really put tOSU there, some do, but not most, hell if tOSU beats PSU handily, it'll help with recognition. I personally don't give a shit, just beat scUM. But it would be interesting to see a rematch in Pasadena.

I think it would be a good game because by the time the Rose Bowl comes around, TP would be running the offense efficiently and Beanie would get to make a difference. I think it would be a completely different game than the first.

This is even worse than the "Buckeyes going to New Orleans" thread last year(the one that quickly turned into an LOL Cats thread). Our defense is a long ways away from being Rose Bowl-caliber.



OK, how does a matchup in the Alamo Bowl sound against Kansas? Is that more realistic?

Yeah, because that's what I was inferring. :roll1:

It's not even October yet and nearly every preseason top 10 team has lost at least once. I don't think now is the time to be speculating about a Rose Bowl re-match with USC, even if it is hypothetical. Too much season left to enjoy.

I thought that's what message boards were for? But if no one wants to speculate then I guess this was a stupid thread. I'll stick to facts in future threads. My fault.

We play USC a year from now in C-Bus. And I'm looking forward to that big-time.

The only important "future" game to me is at Camp Randall on saturday. I understand your thread and where you are going, but no-one should really give a Rat's -Ass about what might happen 3 months from now. WE are "week to week" at this point, and need only conentrate on the next opponent.

i agree 100%. if we allow ourselves to speculate about possible bowl match-ups there is a tangible risk that the actual players may do the same and lose a game they should win.

seriously though, what's wrong with this thread? if we lose or if they lose it will go away. if, however, both teams continue winning out this will be the place to track it.

We win out, we're in the Rose Bowl. Our toughest tests will be happening this week and the 18th (then of course Michigan).

Are you thinking we can't beat Wiscy, PSU, and Michigan?
