Subject: Ohio State #1 in two sports


As any one who has not been living in a cave knows, the Ohio State football
team is currently undefeated and ranked number one in the country. What you
might not know is that the Ohio State men's basketball team is also
currently undefeated and ranked (in at least one poll) number one in the
country.

I wanted to get this posted before Ohio State plays North Carolina on the
road tonight.

GO BUCKS!!!!!!

I hope we beat up on USC in the BSC championship game as some revenge =
for those Rose Bowl games from the 70s when they beat us 2 out of 3.

Good timing Mike. It's definitely good times for the Big 10. Michigan
will kill whoever the BCS throws at them in the Rose Bowl and Ohio State
will steamroll USC. As for basketball, we are once again getting killed
by the ACC. Hopefully we'll get 7 or 8 into the big dance and make it an
all Big 10 finals.

True. But I still have high hopes for Ohio State for two reasons. First,
they have a great coach in Thad Matta and second, they played without their
best player.

Well before you make a bet, you need to know who will be playing. If, and
granted it's a big if, UCLA some how upsets USC this Saturday, then it will
be Florida playing Ohio State. Assuming, of course, that Florida beats
Arkansas on Saturday. If both USC and Florida lose their final game, then
Ohio State will end up playing Michigan. As an Ohio State fan, rooting for
them to win the national championship, I would prefer to see them play:

1. Florida
2. USC
3. Michigan

Well bucko, according to "No Ed" the "spread" is Ohio State + 22 points. As
in his prediction that the final score would be "USC 42, Ohio State 20".

First, I do remember Jerry Lucas and second, there is absolutely nothing
wrong with Ohio State's athletic reputation. They currently have two of the
best teams and coaches in the country (Tressel, football and Matta,
basketball).

If you want to talk about damaged athletic reputations, try focusing on
Miami.

savor those rankings while you can, cause both may fall.  they are about the
10th best team in basketball and have a football defense that can be picked
apart. michigan's offense isnt even close to as good as usc's, and they put up a
helluva lot of points on the buckeyes.  we'll see, though.  should be a great
national title game.

Ohio State has one of the best defenses in the country, which is amazing
considering they lost nine defensive starters last year - most going to the
NFL. They are the best team in college football and I seriously doubt USC
will "pick them apart". In fact, USC will probably get their asses kicked.

You have *seriously* GOT to be kidding me! OSU beats USC by
double-digits, easily. In fact, if USC wasn't the darling of the BCS,
they wouldn't even be the team getting the shot.

Losing to an unranked team? Shit, their most impressive wins are against
overrated two-loss teams (ND and Arkansas).

You talk about OSU's defense, but I notice you don't mention USC's
defense?!? The defense that let freakin' Notre Dame roll up over 400
yards of offense last week... yeah, that's strong D.

As a point of comparison, UM allowed only 245 yards of total offense (only
4 yards on the ground), when they played *at* Notre Dame; against UM, ND
went 2-14 on third downs.

Against USC, ND went 7-18 on third downs, and rolled up 404 yards of total
offense, including 130 yards on the ground. What Troy Smith will do both
on the ground and through the air (don't forget about the excellent
*group* of OSU receivers... note the plural, as opposed to the USC
one-pony wide-out show) to USC will make this one of the most
*uninteresting* NC games in recent memory.

Dude, I remember when USC lost to unranked Oregon State, and everyone
wrote them off in terms of the BSC championship game. What a freakin'
strange system, eh? Less than a month later, on the strength of OTHER
TEAMS LOSING, they are suddenly back in third, waiting to play the winner
of the *real* national championship game (UM/OSU)...

I've said it before, I'll say it again... must be nice to play the real
championship game on yer home turf in front of 90,000 screaming, raving,
foaming-at-the-mouth Buckeyes.

This OSU/USC blow-out is gonna have everyone agreeing with the SEC
coaches... the BCS must go!

Amen brother. Take the top eight teams in the country and put Michigan
and OSU on opposite brackets. They'd be playing each other for the
championship and it would be a pick'em game on a neutral field.

Boise State, Florida, Arkansas, USC, Notre Dame, Nebraska/Oklahoma winner,
ACC and Big East champs would all get chewed up along the way no matter if
they played Michigan or OSU.
