Then they get to play themselves. Mediocrity will show up in the bowl games more than likely. I don't think anybody wants to see Ohio State embarrass themselves like they did last year. They're going to take a bad enough of a beat down in the Rose Bowl if they play USC.

Steven:

Me thinks you doth protest too much. Something tells me you are a closet fan of that team up north and are tired of the beat down that the BUCKEYES give it every November.

Head Coach position at 'that team up north.'

I am so happy. Even if The Ohio State University Buckeyes do not play for the national championship this year it appears that the A.D. of 'that team up north' is going to make it possible for the BUCKEYES to dominate the Big 10 for years to come.

The Associated Press reported this morning in an article in this morning's The (Toledo) Blade that 'that team up north' is interviewing Lloyd Carr's top two assistants (the offensive coordinator and the defensive coordinator) for the head coach's position.

How sweet it is.

MTD, Sr.

MTD,
Good news for the Buckeyes.

Oklahoma is listed as a three point favorite over Missouri in the Big 12 championship game.

On a more philosophical note, how can the #1 team in the country be an underdog in a game? Perhaps the pollsters don't have the right team sitting at the top?

As Padgett has pointed out on numerous occasions, the line isn't a prediction of who will win. It's a prediction of how many people will bet on either side, to maximize the casinos' profits (or bookies - if gambling were legal in this country).

Indeed. Tons of people will be Oklahoma nationally for the pure fact of the name recognition and that OU beat Mizzou earlier this year.

Mizzou's D really showed up against Kansas. Let's hope they've got something left in the tank for Oklahoma.

This just in NV has scheduled Missouri for next season. The game will be in Reno. NV also plays @ Texas Tech. That should bump up their SOS number.
