  Buckeyes will have to overcome a decided schematic advantage with Charlie Weis on the Florida sideline.
  
  Luckily for us, with Jim Bollman on our sideline having to overcome the opponent's decided schematic advantage has been basically a weekly guarantee, so the team has had plenty of practice.
  
  It's kind of too bad Urban isn't going to coach this one. What an opponent for his first game at Ohio State.

  Even though Luke will be the HC on the sideline, I'm sure Urban will have his fingerprints all over it

  Love the matchup

  I love it. Let's just hope we don't have to end up vacating another bowl win over the SEC.

  Can't think of a much more favorable bowl matchup for OSU. Florida has been pretty terrible this year.
  
  I'll go with OSU 28 Florida 24
  
  
  Go Bucks!

  Ohio State will throttle them. Terrible team.
• cats gone wild

  OSU gets their first documented bowl win over an SEC team. Might win handily.

  Sounds like Fickell expects Shazier to play.

  I wanna beat the piss out of them. But really, I'm just happy to have the extra 15 practices. We need every one of them!!!

  Of course this would be contrary to all statements made by OSU

  Can someone explain how OSU was chosen for this bowl? Says 4th or 5th place big ten team

  Easy..... Money!! Plus guessing scUM got a bcs knod. Probably against va tech

  Urban knows everything in Florida's book. He kept an office on campus this year, he can tell Fickell everything about Florida to win. Nice advantage.

  I think I read somewhere that after the top 4 teams (Wisco, MSU, UM, Nebraska), the conference (and I assume working with the various bowl directors) has discretion to place teams wherever. That's why I think you're going to see PSU fall so far despite their better record.

  Yes, because Urban would be the reason OSU wins and not Florida's pathetic offense...

  Gator Bowl said Ohio State has almost sold entire allotment of tickets and will be looking for more.

• Midstate01

  Ohio State has 20x as many fans that will travel to Florida. No further explanation.
