There would be no "controversy" if the officials would have correctly ruled Gamble's catch to actually be a catch on OSU's last drive in regulation. First down, Buckeyes run out the clock and win 17-14. Then you have the obvious block in the back and holding on Parrish's punt return that wasn't called. Those no-calls allowed Miami to send the game to OT. All the people who bitch about the "controversial" PI call in OT never want to talk about the fact that OSU won the damn game in regulation. Anyway, Sharpe held/interfered with Gamble, the correct call was made, and Miami, the media, and anyone else can cry me a river because that trophy is sitting in Columbus and it always will be.
As for this year, I'm pretty sure the Buckeyes are screwed. Even IF they go undefeated, they need a lot of other stuff to go their way. They're gonna get killed by the computers because the schedule is weak, and they're probably gonna go no higher than #3 in the coaches poll unless Bama or Oregon lose. It's definitely possible that Bama could lose at LSU or in the SECCG and Oregon could lose to Stanford/Washington/UCLA, but I just don't have a good feeling about it.
