1. So the NCAA would have been pissed if OSU self-banned for last year because of the lost revenue for the BCS system, so the punishment would have been to do another season bowl ban and more lost $$$$?

2. Miami v. OSU 2002. Anything can happen.

Devils Advocate;1313035 wrote:A couple of points:

1. There is no way that the NCAA would have allowed the OSU to back out of the BCS game last year. Too much lost revenue. And if they did back out, The NCAA would have hammered them another year of no post season play.

2. If the Buckeyes were BCS eligible. They would get hammered by ANY legitimate BCS bowl team this year. This team has the worst defense that I can remember this century.

Pick6;1313851 wrote:well that doesnt make any sense, either. If they would have declined a BCS game, it would have been the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas. Why would OSU decline that game anyways? The NCAA LET them play. Plus OSU had no way to know a post season ban was coming when details were first being leaked.

try again..
