I would like to make a wager with any one of you

IF Ohio State wins the National Championship,I will not post here for one month,and when I do come back,whoever bets with me can pick a picture of an Ohio State player and any quote from Jim Tressel for 2 months

IF Ohio State does not win the National Championship,all I will ask for is for my bet partner to say "Ty,you were right and Ohio State wasn't as good as we thought"

Do I have any takers?

Let's make it better

If OSU doesn't win, I will make my signature "Ty Webb was right, OSU wasn't the best team in the country" for 1 year.

Don't think Justin would allow my other idea anyway

Heres a bet. If OSU gets farther than Florida. You leave, Gibby goes the basement, and your next name has the last line of Carmen Ohio in your signature forever.

Just don't be like sleeper and selectively alter the terms of the wager a few months down the road, hoping that everyone forgot.

It's easily enforceable. If he loses he is banished to the basement, I can make sure he lives up to it by just troll pointing the hell of out him LOL

What about him using a new name if banished?

You can change your own title..

And no, because you have no friends.

The best team doesn't always win. It would be a foolish bet to take OSU versus the field.

Who was the last best team to not win a national championship, curiously?

It is a subjective question.I could give you list, but that would lead to some . This is a one and done tournament and the best team doesn't always win.Shit happens.Last year, an unnamed team hit their first EIGHT 3's, while the favorite missed it's first 20.If it were a 3/5 playoff for every match-up(not realistic) a truer champion would be crowned.

Here is couple for you.
NC State 54 Houston 52

Villanova 66 Georgetown 64

The winners were better on that day and deserved the win, but in 3/5 0r 4/7 playoff the better prevails.

It happens in high the high school tournament as well. It is the nature of the beast. Last year, I watched Gahanna defeat #1 ranked Northland9Sullinger, Weatherspoon,Burke-all D1 players) 71-45. Even with that lopsided score, I think Northland beats the Lions in a multi-game playoff.

"It just wasn't in the cards tonight," Satch Sullinger said. "This wasn't the team I coached all year, but a lot has to do with Gahanna. I just don't know. All it takes is one hiccup. We lost to a quality team that just shot the lights out. That's nothing to be ashamed about."

Agreed. OSU is 20-1 to win the NC next year. Hardly a favorite.
