The Big Ten is down. I will give you this: Tressel and his AD are smart as year in and year out (sine the Big Ten does not have a Conference Championship Game) sit back and wait for the SEC or the "other" conferences to "knock themselves out" and thus get into the National Championship game as evidenced by this year.
They were 10 and 1 but IMO that's not impressive because there out of conference schedule was a joke and the BIG Ten was down. Michigan was all "banged up" when they played them. They lost to Illinois who in turn got "manhandled" by USC.
The Championship Game should have been LSU vs. USC but that's another discussion (The BCS Fiasco)
Personally I am tired of seeing Ohio St in the Champoinship game each year. They did not deserve to go this year. The BIG Ten is down. Also, let's face it they got a REAL generous call when they beat Miami to win the Championship years ago.
Next year we will see what happens when the Buckeyes travel to USC. Finally a decent out of conference opponent.
