Who do you want to see OSU face in the BCS title game?

Assuming they do make it, do you want them to face an SEC team again for a 3rd time? The upside would be a chance at redemption and a chance to silence all the critics. Also, if they DON'T face an SEC team you know people down south will still be running their mouth about how neither team deserved to be in the title game. The downside is the poor track record against the SEC is bowl games and the chance to humiliate themselves again in front of the country. What are everyone's thought about the game they would want to see?

Personally, I want to see them face either Florida or Georgia in the game although it does worry me a bit more as opposed to a Big 12 team like Missouri or Oklahoma.
 
Florida. That would give us the opportunity to shatter 3 myths:

1. We can't beat a good SEC team

2. We can't defend the spread run by a mobile QB

3. We can't run with Florida


Georgia wouldn't give us the same opportunity as they run more of a pro-style offense with a predominantly pocket passer and while they're considered fast, they don't have the same mystique Florida has.

The SEC Champion, period. I don't care if it's vanderbilt...I hope and I expect the team is interested in shutting some mouths, and that's the only way we do it, IMO. I can't wait for football season!

Well, college football is about rivalries and smack talk. That's one reason why Ann Arbor is a whore! That's what makes it fun to be a fan...or why it is miserable to be a fan, depending.

I'd love to play y'all in a repeat. There would be HUGE interest for this one.

If we do play, you'd get to be the underdog again (as in 2002), which usually means the win.

God help you if you lost big this third time.

Seppuku swords for all my buddies. :(

I don't care who we play. As long as we get there and win, I'll be happy. The haters will find a way to discredit us no matter who we play. It will be important that the team we play is considered deserving of the spot. The team I'd least like to see is Oklahoma. It would be too easy for people to criticize a win over them, based on their recent bowl failures. I guess the ideal would be UF or UGA. A win over either would be cathartic for Buckeye fans and least change "0 and 9" to "1 and 9". But in reality, nothing is going to silence all the SEC crap.
