I know the Purdue game seemed bleak, but think about it. The offense showed real promise for the first time, they actually had some real drives. The turnovers in the red zone did us in. Troy Smith has a chance here to solidify his hold on QB, he won't let it slip through his hands this week. The defense also did really well in the second half until Orton's last drive (damn soft coverage).

I'm just going to quote myself here. I think Troy Smith solidified the starting job.

I am still numb.

I am so excited about next year, I hope the bowl game keeps me that way. With the BUCKEYES schedule next year they have a real chance at the title. They play Texas as a non-conference opponent. Wrangle them horns!!!

Oh, and to anyone who even thought about Tressel losing his job after the three lossess:

It took Coach Cooper thirteen years to beat Michigan twice. In four years, Tressel has beaten them three times.

Ya, that Texas OSU game next year will be a very tough one.....

So, have you all seen the BCS standings? Any bets on whether Boise State gets a BCS bowl game? A loss by Texas makes it a very real possibility. (And Cal would get the major shaft.)

 

[Crothian]

Ya, I've seen that. I think it would be great for Boise to make a BCS Bowl. That would give us 8 conference champions and all of them would be deserving. But I really don't anyone loosing so Boise can make it.

Never thought of that--the 8 conference champions part.

I agree, it's not likely. Texas would have to lose to A&M for it to be feasible. Not out of the question, but unlikely. Still, Texas almost lost to Kansas...

Miami (plays Virginia Tech in two weeks) or Virginia Tech (also plays Virginia next week) probably passes Boise if they win out. And there's an outside chance Tennessee could manage it by beating Auburn in the SEC championship game.

Still, Boise State in the BCS would be great!

A real fun MAC game tonight! Both teams' offenses looked great, Toledo just outgunned BG!

Well, it seems no one really wanted to win the Big 12 North this year, so it looks like Colorado will be the team they send to get killed by the Sooners.

Looks like no one really wanted that Big East title either, I mean how could BC lose to the Orange? Of course the Orangemen looked very good in that and it is impressive they didn't just roll over.

Tennesse looks like that as soon as it locked up playing in the SEC game it didn't need to play anymore. Both Vandy and Kentucky score over 30 against them and lose by less then a TD? If Auburn doesn't destroy them it will look bad for Auburn.

Of course Even my Big Ten had people trying not to win it with Wisconsin losing its final 2 and Michigan getting beat by the buckeyes. Only Iowa ended their season strong.

VT fights Miami for the ACC title. I was hoping Virginia could pull out the win tonight, but it is funny that it comes down to the two new teams in the conference for the winner.


That Texas game with the one point saftey was just wierd, I'd never heard of anything like that.

Cincy went on the field and jumped on the Louisville symbol at the fifty yard line. And then got creamed 70-7...it was 42 nothing at end of the fist half....

It was a good win for Arizona beating the much better on paper Arizona State, that was a good game to watch.

And now USC is gettign a very tough game from the Irish......

I really don't like Oklahoma this year; they should've lost to Texas, A&M, and Oklahoma State, and if they get cocky against Colorado, they'll get Kansas State redux.

Didn't see the game, as I was on an airplane until about an hour ago, but the Orange hadn't had their WTF win yet (thier annual WTF loss was against Temple), and BC's starting QB was out. This doesn't really surprise me.

And now USC is gettign a very tough game from the Irish......

That won't last.
