    So actually, in the record books there will be a asterisk next to Ohio State's undefeated 2012 season, since no one will ever know if the team and staff would have played their hand the same way if their season had championship possibilities.
    You're joking, right?

    This is what would be referred to as the opposite of rational.

    No, I'm serious. I just looked and there's an asterisk right next to OSU and right next to the spot where the name of the Nat'l Champ will go.

    Go see for yourselves.

    You clearly don't understand why the asterisk is there for. It's not because the team and staff would have played their hand the same way if their season had championship possibilities.

    Oh, I understand why the asterisk is there for. Question is do YOU understand why the asterisk is there for?
