    Pizza Bowl in Detroit matches Big Ten #8 against MAC #1 (at least usually #1), you never know...

    Well, I don't like to burst either of your bubbles...but if you are bowling in Texas, Houston is the only city a Big 10 fan is guaranteed to be.

    Alamo Bowl, although a great venue, city and I had an awesome time there....is not in the bowl lineup.


    BTW, the Metroplex is far from appealing.

    Damn. I forgot they changed which conferences participate in the Alamo bowl.

    I think it is either #1 or #2 MAC team. IRC, Miami won the MAC last year but played in the GMAC Bowl. Maybe we'd see an OSU/Toledo rematch?

    They switch back and forth on first MAC choice, and often times will adjust in order to maximize attendances at all MAC bowl games as well (as if it matters, they all are half filled stadiums).

    Absolutely you accept the bowl invite. Would be ridiculous to pass it up.

    On another note, if the COI releases the sanctions this fall, the bowl ban would likely be applied to this year assuming OSU does not appeal. Get it out of the way.

    As do I.

    I don't see OSU qualifying for a bowl game.

    Perhaps two more wins, maybe even three. No way they make it to six.

    I'm holding out hope they can win Indiana, Purdue, Penn State and Michigan. :)

    The defense is playing OK, we have several games to get some offense going and we play UM the week after they play Nebraska so DR may be a little banged up by then. Plus it's OSU/Michigan and ANYTHING can happen.

    Aren't they 3-2?
  • Tobias Fünke
    They will definitely beat Indiana and Purdue.

    I am not a believer in Illinois.

    It might be a 3-0 game against Penn State.

    I pray to God that they beat Michigan.

    How can anyone after watching this inept offense, and equally inept coaching, say OSU "definitely" beats anyone in the Big Ten?

    This is as bad an OSU offense as I've seen in 40 years of watching OSU football. Easily the worst. And easily the worst coaching of the offense I've ever seen.

    ^^Because Purdue, Indiana, Minny are all absolutely horrid. On both sides of the ball. OSU's defense alone will beat any of those 3 teams
  • Terry_Tate
    If Ohio State can beat Toledo and Colorado they will beat Indiana and Purdue. They may not be 35-7 wins but they should be wins regardless. Penn State is not impressive at all, so I think OSU can get to 6 wins, but I think that's where it ends. The defense isn't a typical OSU defense but they've not been as bad as people think.

    Do you remember the 99 Buckeyes? The first year of Steve Bellisari/Austin Mockerman (sp). They were terrible too.

    Yes. 3 wins plus 2 maybe 3 is 5 maybe 6. But they won't make 6.


    If you're confused. You should be. That post is fucked up.

    Agreed. I think Toledo beats Indiana and/or Purdue by more than two TDs this year. North Texas beat IU by 16. PSU is not good either (just beat IU 16-10). As someone else noted, the OSU/PSU game could be 3-0, 6-3 or something really ugly.

    Florida State- Really hoping Clemson will slip up and we can make it to the Orangle Bowl. If that doesn't happen then the Gator Bowl(If the ACC still has that bowl game).

    I remember that team well. But it was not as inept as this offense.
