Yep, OSU #2 in the BCS.

I just want to see OSU beat Michigan for the third year in a row, take the Big Ten title outright and let everything else shake itself out.

GO BUCKS!!!

Well, being a Purdue alumn and working there (here, I guess), saturday was tough on me. But since my wife is an OSU alumn (she played basketball for them), I concur:


GO BUCKS!!!

I'm not going to get into the Pac-10 vs Big-10 debate. USC is a fine team, as are many other PAC-10 members. I wish them the best.

Purdue has had a great season. They just can't ever seem to get by the big two of the big ten. But I feel sorry for who ever ends up playing them in the Outback bowl (probably Tenn or Georgia).

Well, they have not quite developed the killer instinct, post-Brees. They've got the physical talent, and a pretty good system, but they haven't been able to "coup de grace" their opponents in the 4th quarter since the Rose Bowl season.

About the only place they are lacking is at the corner. Tall, fast wide-outs are a big problem for Purdue. Well, OK, they are for everyone, but thats the chink in Purdue's defensive armor. I'm really surprised Jenkins didn't light us up for about 250 yards.

We'll see about bowl season. One thing I know for sure: the IU game will be tough. It's IU's chance to make their season, you always toss out the records in that game, Purdue is down emotionally, and the game is in Bloomington.

Go Hawks!!!

So... how 'bout them Hawkeyes?

I do believe they have a strong chance versus Wisconsin at Camp Randall. If they can play as inspired as they did last Sat. vs. the Golden Rodents... anything can happen.

I am not sure how I'd like to win the Michigan-Ohio State matchup. Always an entertaining game for sure. Am still mad at Michigan for ruining Iowa's chance for the Big Ten Title outright.

And, no, I am not very upset over the fact that no one in sports media outside of Iowa remembers that they were Big Ten Co-champs last year (No disrespect to the Buckeyes, the other Big Ten Co-Champ ). So, I am very happy they have again silenced their critics. 'Tis a shame that I am so far away from Home.

I'll give a "Hell Yeah" for the hawkeyes. Glad to see them beat Minnesota last week. Camp Randall is a tough place.

I haven't forgot about the Hawkeyes. They've had another good season. Not as great as last year, but few people had any faith in them this year. It looks like they'll end up in the Alamo bowl against a Big 12 school.

TCU!!! CRASHIN' THE BCS PARTY BABY!!

you don't want to play OU. no sane team does.

They won't get in the national title game, but they could get in one of the other three. So, that could be USC, OSU/Michigan, FSU, Miami/West Virgina, or any of like 5 SEC teams depending on how that unfolds. I'm not too sure they can match up close to any of them. Best beat would be WEst Virginai if they can win Big East or if Old Miss somehow wins the SEC.
