Big Ten fans, well, tOSU has been stylin on them for so long I doubt they'll ever be viewed favorably.

Arkansas is not a "real" SEC team and Oregon is a paper tiger.

Plus TP cheated, coach cheated, O$U, etc..., they can't hang with the few elite teams each year

blah blah blah ad nauseam

I swear if OSU goes undefeated and misses out things will get ugly, I would bet massive lawsuits towards ESPN and the BCS. I do think the NCAA should step in for their most popular sport and control it a bit, instead of networks and coaches doing literally everything
The Big 10 has been the biggest proponent of the BCS around because it rewards their conference more than any other. They are living off of reputation at this point.

An undefeated OSU missing the title game might be the shock to the system the conference needs to get its act together and start taking football seriously again.

To have the "emperor has no clothes" moment is desperately needed right now to all of the big wigs at the Big 10 that think everything is hunky doory with the state of football in the conference.

I would be surprised if any "big wig" felt things were hunky dory with B1G football

If OSU beats MSU, by 40 or 30 or 1...they're in the BCSNCG.
I agree, but Auburn would put up a top 5 win at the same time. The coaches poll is closer than I expected.

"After talking with these folks and, of course, listening to rants from media morons like Mark May, I have to say the depth of Ohio State hatred is staggering."

This is difficult to explain to people, the amount of hate Ohio State gets from other fan bases is absolutely staggering - to your point. I have no idea why. I post often on my alum network fan board and I think people actually care more that Ohio State loses as opposed to our team winning, and it is a completely different conference. To this day I don't think Mark May and Tim Brando recognize the '02 championship.

Auburn will be jumping OSU when the polls are released. I hate it. It's so stupid. People like Mark May voted auburn 1st Alabama 2nd and Mizzou 3rd. I'm sure he had FSU 4th and then maybe OSU 5th.

Everything you just said is wrong.

Mark May doesn't have a vote in anything that matters and for that matter, any poll.

Missouri 3rd? If Ohio State beats Michigan State (that isn't a given) they will be in the championship game with FSU.

I'm just guessing on the BCS part. Mark May said how he would be voting for his top 3 on ESPN.

The human polls made it so close that most of the computers will give a bigger edge to Auburn. Only one of the computer polls have released their results and it has OSU 2 and auburn 6th.

There are few certainties in life, and one of them is that no one cares about Mark May.

The fact that you say a back that is 30 lbs lighter, double the carries, and almost half the YPC in November is absolutely just as good or better is straight up ridiculous. Carey's only 200 yard games came on 39 and 48 carries. Hyde's 200 yard games came on 24 and 27 carries. You are being just a bit ridiculous. Carey isn't even in the top 75 when it comes to YPC and he is 28th in YPC when it comes to guys over 1000 yards.

Not surprising. Solid coach. Still young. Washington did get better with him as a coach. But leveled out and didn't get much better the past few years.

I admire Boise's coach for saying no. He must want to finish what he started there.
