Sig bets anyone? i'll take PSU

You'll lose, badly.

Oh it's on like Donkey Kong!

I'll take your sig bet. And my friend that's a PSU fan, who said he was requesting off of work to watch this game with me, better not be backing out. This was when PSU hadn't lost yet. Now he said he thinks he has to work and will check to see if he can get it off.

Sounds like a cop out to me.
He knows what's coming!

You know I'm down

OSU hates going into Happy Valley, especially at night.
I could easily see a PSU upset, but I'm sticking with the Buckeyes. We'll probably score early, then slowly let Penn State back in the game, but pull it off in the end.

Michigan is going to be the game I'm worrying about. They were put down at the beginning of the year, fought back into the top 25 and are going to be looking to take us out of the #1 spot. The sad thing is with the way the season is going, I can see LSU losing another game within the next couple of weeks, blow out a few teams after, then jump ahead of OSU in the BCS if they lose that game at the end of the year.

Penn State will beat Ohio State.

Sure they will. How many times have you ever been right on your predictions?

To be fair, this isn't an anti-Ohio State thing. This is just anti-Big Ten. Suck it up and add another team. Have a championship game. Get better as a conference. I'm not blaming Ohio State for playing whats put in front of them. I'm just saying what's put in front of them is a joke.

Does it mean anything to you that in the AP top 25 poll, Ohio State is getting 57 out of 65 votes. In the USA Today poll, Ohio State is getting 58 out of 60 votes? That means that the people who analayze schedules, teams, conferences, players, and coaches overwhelmingly feel that Ohio State is the #1 team in the country. Mind you, again, these are people that do this for a living.

Now in case I missed something here is the breakdown...

2006-2007

Big Ten 2-5, 0-2 BCS bowls, 1-2 head to head with SEC

SEC 6-3, 2-0 Bcs bowls (including national champs) 2-1 with Big Ten

2005-2006

Big Ten 3-4, 2-0 in BCS bowls, 1-1 head to head with SEC

SEC 3-3, 0-1 in BCS bowls, 1-1 head to head

2004-2005

Big Ten 3-3, 0-1 in BCS bowls, 2-1 head to head

SEC 3-3, 1-0 in BCS bowls, 1-2 head to head

2003-2004

Big Ten 4-3, 1-1 in BCS bowls, 2-1 head to head

SEC 3-3, 1-0 in BCS bowls, 1-2 head to head

2002-2003

Big Ten 5-1, 1-1 in BCS bowls (including national champs), 2-1 head to head

SEC 3-4, 1-0 in BCS bowls, 1-2 head to head

Now I have said that the Big Ten is down this year (I believe I ranked them 4th in conferences this year) as well as last year but it is not the terrible conference you always make it out to be. The SEC (best conference last year and I ranked them #1 again) has not been the dominating conference you have made them out to be.

are you telling me that having a championship game will make this a better conference? Top man...just when i think i undertsand where ur commin frm i lose u....u sound pretty lame there bud...i think u should havej us ended it at "Big then sucks this year" and nobody would have argued with you there...*sigh*


I may not share the same reasons as you for why the Bucks might lose this game...but i really think that the odds favor PSU in this game...simply due to the facts that it's an away game at NIGHT at PSU where we have lost before in recent years with a team that was pretty good...and PSU has a pretty solid D that everyone is over looking...i believe they are #2 in pretty much everything after OSU in Big Ten this year..and are #6 nationally in some categories...so make of that what you will be this team can sure as hell give the Bucks a run for their money...

Hope we survive....

Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good. Yep we have a soft schedule this year. The thing is we have avoided the upset while other teams havent.


SO keep on hating hater


KING

I agree. Like I said, I don't blame Ohio State for this. I blame the Big Ten as a whole. It's not Ohio State's fault that they play such a weak schedule. It is, however, the Big Ten's fault.

Oh, and for the record, I think BC at #2 is a joke, as well. There are many one loss teams, and even two loss teams that I feel are better than BC. This is why something needs to be done about college football. Because, if you go undefeated in a major conference, you are ranked too high, even if the conference is down and you don't play anyone.

It's sad when the B-10 championship comes down to OSU, Illini and UofM.

I still think everyone in the country is playing for second place, behind LSU anyway. As long as BC or Ohio State loses at some point, I think LSU still wins the national championship. Unless they slip up and lose to Florida in the SEC Championship game, which is possible.

well i hope florida losses rest of it games...lol anyways to make a point to ur "add a team and make the conference better" did you see PDAWGs post? Big Ten isn't bad every year...that was a great post...

And Muni, people who do this for a living don't feel like Ohio State is the best team in the country. They were voted there for the simple fact that everyone else has lost... Because they play somebody!

Wow... So Ohio State goes undefeated through 8 games and doesn't deserve to be there, but the other highly touted teams in the nation who have lost 1 or 2 games thus far deserve to be ahead of Ohio State? Here's a question for you, why even play the games? Why even schedule any opponents at all? Why not just gather up all of the AP voters during the preseason, send them out to all of the top 25 schools' camps, and then judge, based on talent, who deserves the national championship. Hell, let's be leniant. Let's pick the two most talented teams and let them play a game to determine it... Oh wait, I almost forgot... We already have something like that.. It's called the regular season. You play who's on your schedule and, if you go undefeated in a BCS conference and you are ranked at the begnining of the year, you deserve a spot in the championship game over any (yes ANY) team that has a loss. That's why you play the freaking games.

Now I know teams like Stanford, Vanderbilt, Oregon State, Appalachin State, Colorado, Kansas State, Syracuse, and Uconn are powerhouses... But actually they have something else in common too. They all have beat a top 10 team this year. I'm sorry but just because you have a schedule that is deemed "easy" by some so called experts, doesn't lessen the fact that you're undefeated. Especially in a year where a multitude of supposedly superior teams have fallen to far lesser schools. Maybe LSU, Oklahoma, Cal, USC, Michigan, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida have more talent than Ohio State (which I would find highly difficult to defend seeing as how all of those teams have lost games they were supposed to win and seeing as how Ohio State has sent so many players to the NFL in recent years) but they all have one alarming difference than tOSU. They all have lost a game that they should have won. Championship teams, or at least teams that deserve to play for a shot at the championship, don't lose games that they should certainly win.

Maybe the Kents, Akrons, and Youngstown States don't look very imposing, but Ohio State beat all of those teams and beat them handily. Akron was the closest and the best they could do was score on an offensive miscue by the Bucks. That was it. Chris Wells not making it back to the line of scrimmage was their only score of the day. And that was the closest of those 3 games. Sure, I'll credit to the Zips for causing that safety. Hey, I'll even go as far to say as it was all their doing and it was a great stop.. That still doesn't change the fact that none of those teams' offenses, hell none the teams Ohio State has faced this season, have had any success against our defense.

I'm sorry, but I find it hard to put any stock into what people who had USC as the number 1 team in the nation have to say about the Buckeyes. The same people who called USC the best team in the nation (and maybe the best college team ever) have no business being intrusted with any sort of meaningful ranking. It's embarassing... unfourtunately these people actually do have clout in the media and in the current rankings and it wouldn't surprise me if they tried to save face and push a 3 loss Pac 10 or SEC team ahead of an undefeated Big 10 or ACC team. It's just completely ridiculous at this point.

Whatever. Go Bucks. Should we lose one of our last 4 games then I'll be the first to say we don't deserve even a sniff of a title game... but should we win out, any one that questions our team either has an agenda or is an idiot. Plain and simple. And anyone who wants to play the Big Ten is weak card need not look any further: This past bowl season the Big Ten went 2-1 against the SEC. This so called inferior conference outplayed the conference that people want to believe is god's gift to college football. Just because a conference is chalked full of parity and average to above average football doesn't mean that any team who comes out of it is the best team in the country.

YEAH what Opt said


KING

so what are the details of this bet guys?

the use of the signature for 1 month or 100 posts and it must be visible
