We were very fortunate last year that OSU was on probation. Otherwise, OSU would have gone to the Big 10, 11, 12 championship game and would have probably beaten Nebraska. They would have been 13-0 at that point, and all of the media folks would have talked about how great Notre Dame and OSU were as those two "powerhouse" teams squared off for the national title when we all know that three, four, and maybe even five teams from the SEC would likely have beaten either one of them.

Yes and no. THEY made the CHOICE to go to the Gator Bowl. And here's the thing - it's a whole lot harder to go unbeaten when you're playing FOR REAL than it is when you have nothing at stake. I think Urban Meyer is a great coach and tOSU is a great program, but that was just bad all the way around.

Yes, which is why the four-team cannot get here soon enough.

I don't wish to play ND again as that means a great year for them. I despise them and wish nothing but the worst for their program. Manti Teo getting all the undeserved hype is just the latest example of the media over valuing anything to do with that team.

If Urban is only working 40 hours a week at OSU I don't know how he would prepare his team to play us. Maybe his kids could give him some pointers since he's now spending so much time with them.
