So after Ohio State almost got beat by Ohio University (GO MAC CONFERENCE LOL) they get to play the number one team in the country, which, of course, is USC, since they are basically number one almost every week anyways. Georgia, our number two, plays the other USC, you know, South Carolina, and will try to do their best Vanderbilt impression.

Discuss.

Top 10 BCS teams that load up on cupcakes

 5 teams from the SEC, no surprise there
SEC

3 teams from the Big 12
Big 12

[Bloodwake]

Hey, maybe, if we are lucky, someone might get called for excessive celebration on the last play of the game and ruin what could be an amazing overtime.

Oh wait, that already happened.

[Phoenix Dark]

OSU is gonna get fuck owned as usual.


3:30 PM ET   Michigan at Notre Dame

Dunno how we'll do offensively but the defense will have no problem exposing Clausen...again.

[Bocsius]

If The Ohio State University gets blown out, they should never be ranked in any poll ever until they beat another ranked team not in the Big Ten. ACC teams don't count, either.

You'd think preseason pollsters would have been a bit more skeptical this year, after the debacle of the last two championship games.

[TakingBackSunday]

Hmm...

I'm gonna go ahead with an upset by OSU based entirely on nothing.

[Phoenix Dark]

They're the ultimate posers. They beat up on our conference because they're bigger/stronger and get better recruits. But once they play with the big boys (SEC/Pac 10, etc) they can't keep up at all. That's why I think OSU only has a few more years of Big 10 dominance. Michigan is going to be able to dominate the big 10 and compete with the other major conferences soon thanks to our new conditioning+spread+steller recruits from around the country.

I completely agree.

USC wins, OSU drops out of the top ten, the rest of the NCAA collectively says "FINALLY."

I still think that Florida is ranked WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too highly as well. Seriously, if Tebow is injured before Kentucky plays them (which is a good possibility) you can believe that Kentucky will win as well as everyone else in the SEC. Florida's offense is still basically a Tebow only show.

Michigan vs. Notre Dame should be loltastic.

Well remember that besides the media's USC hard-on, they have that huge hardon for Ohio State too.

Please tell me you aren't legitimately comparing OSU to USC!?

Of course not. Ohio State doesnt even deserve to be in the same league as usc, but the media hard on puts them there.

Edit: because my qouting sucks.

I love college football season because I get to make money off of betting MAC games.  Two rules of thumb.

1) Always bet the OVER on any Toledo game. (Unless weather conditions are poor)
2) Always bet against a MAC team after a big rivalry/spotlight game. Central Michigan will beat Ohio.

I used to do it online. But many online sites are not allowing anymore over/under bets on college games and some MAC games are taken off the board.

I'll have to keep this in mind.

Texas and Arkansas fans: your game has been postponed.

[ShogunOfFear]

Time for Ohio St to get buried beneath the top 10, make it happen USC!

[Bloodwake]

Scratch me not having ESPN. I have ESPN360 on campus.

FUCK yes. Fullscreen that shit on my plasma and image clean it for three hours afterwards so the start bar doesn't get burned into the screen. Whoo.

[Phoenix Dark]

[Bloodwake]

Oh, who could have foreseen that Ohio State would be exposed and embarrassed on national TV? Who, besides just about everybody?

Toledo over/under was 54.5 points. Final score was Toledo 41-17.

Central Michigan beat Ohio at home 31-28.

nailed it.

Come on dude, when has UGA in recent years since Spurrier took over, ever not played S.C. close?

[Phoenix Dark]

I expected a rout but I didn't expect OSU wouldn't even score a TD
