Where do you see tOSU going from their current position?

Something interesting to think about, where do you think we are most likely to end up bowl wise?

While I'd love to make the Rose Bowl, I just don't see Sparty losing twice. I think we get an at-large bcs bid, and it's nearly impossible to predict how that might shake out.

If Oregon makes the NC game, that means the Rose Bowl is required to take Boise this year. I would love to absolutely plunger rape Boise in the Rose Bowl and finally shut them up. If Sparty gets a shot at them, they'd better not pull a Sparty and screw it up.

Oh "Magic 8-Ball" what will Ohio State's record be and what bowl game will they go to?

Sparty doesn't have to lose twice for tOSU to get to the Rose Bowl. If Sparty and tOSU are tied at 7-1, the BCS standings determine the automatic bid for the Big Ten. It's also determined by BCS standings in the event of 3-way ties with tOSU-Iowa-Sparty and tOSU-Wiscy-Sparty.

Link to Big Ten tiebreaker post.

I agree that if Oregon wins out, Boise State is probably playing the Big Ten's automatic qualifier. And if Sparty gets a loss somewhere, and Iowa beats Wiscy this week, tOSU would then control its own destiny to being the highest ranked Big Ten team in the final BCS.

This

It's actually quite interesting, if it ended up as tOSU-Wiscy-Sparty, the fact that Sparty beat Wiscy and Wiscy beat tOSU doesn't hold as a tiebreaker.


tOSU could actually be better off if Sparty loses 1 game instead of 2, because if Sparty lost 2 and Wiscy didn't lose again Wiscy would own a tiebreaker. Sparty only loses once then the tiebreaker goes to tOSU.

At this point I'm only looking at Purdue. It'll be interesting to see how tOSU respond given the disappointment of last weeks loss and the countless injuries to our defense.

But, just for fun; I hope we win out and end up in the NC game as unlikely as it is.

That would be nice, but we'll have to start playing better than how we did at Madison.
Improbable to make the NC, but remember, not impossible! So there is still hope, no matter how small. I put a lot of faith in Tressel, he will remain cool, calm, and collected, and get the job done in a classy way, no matter where we end up at the end of the season.:osu:
