Please let UA lose to Auburn. We will see how good OSU is.

Baylor may still end the year ahead of Ohio State if both win out completely and go undefeated. Yes, I am saying that a 12-0 Baylor could very well finish ahead of a 13-0 Ohio State. A win against Oklahoma State will be huge. A combination of wins against OSU and Texas is stronger than what Ohio State has in front of it, including the Big Ten Championship.

I fully expect Baylor to be in 3rd place going into the Bowl Season.

Unless the pollsters suddenly surge towards Ohio State, it is almost inevitable that Baylor will pass the Buckeyes in the BCS standings. They will step into the title game should Alabama stumble (FSU's schedule is so easy there's no chance they will).

Yes, yes the point was already made. My point is that IF FSU and Alabama remain unhindered then it doesn't matter if Baylor passes Ohio State in the rankings.

Yes, yes, that point was already made too. We all know that if FSU and Alabama win out, they will play for the title no matter what Baylor, OSU, or anyone else does.

Edit: That said, don't sell us out on this. Alabama could very easily lose to Auburn or in the SEC Championship Game and I'm predicting Oklahoma State beats Baylor regardless.

I don't like Ohio State and I'm not partial to the B1G, but I think OSU would give both Alabama or FSU a good game. Neither of those teams are world-beaters (this is the weakest Alabama team of the last 4 years, with the possible exception of 2010) and FSU has played absolutely nobody. OSU is a talented team and they have a great coach with a long record of beating up on FSU teams.

A national title game between Alabama and OSU or FSU and OSU would be well-worth watching.

You rarely seem to have a clue.

Your point is valid except that it's not. FSU CLOBBERED the 7th ranked BCS team by 37...on the road.

FSU has a long record of beating up on OSU teams. I'm guessing that omission was pure coincidence.

Their defense is atrocious... probably the worst OSU defense in the past 10 years.

In my view, to be more specific, the worst set of OSU linebackers in the past decade at least. That's the only thing that makes me a tiny bit nervous about TSUN this year and completely on the fence whether I look on the Buckeyes as favorites against a potential Spartan opponent in the CCG ... the reliance on the defensive line and secondary to do their job and also cover for the weakness at linebacker.

Seriously, Meyer does that "School Over There" crap at OSU, too? And your fans eat that sh*t up, clearly. Crazy that you don't realize it's all a show Meyer performs. Sad that you all aren't able to realize it's just an act. He doesn't really give a damn about most of the things he does or about the players he recruits. (This isn't to say you shouldn't support your coach. But to do so ignorantly and naively?)

You are the ignorant one. Woody Hayes started doing that back in the 1960's and Ohio State fans have done that ever since. Where do you think Meyer learned that tactic? If you are going to come out and attacking other posters at least have your facts straight.

Being able to schedule MAC teams @Big Ten stadiums, without return games,
allows even weaker Big Ten teams to get 8 home games sometimes.

Well then, that's fine, but don't whine when your champion has no chance to make the title game even though they're undefeated.

Cease and desist on ad hominems guys! These comments can be made and discussed without the vitriol.

I agree with you Steve. Maybe they are hoping that conference teams
will get better? As it stands now, OSU has beaten 1 ranked team, Whisky.
Alabama has beaten 3, and to go undefeated that will be 5. If OSU goes
unbeaten that is 2 ranked teams they beat.

There is no doubt they played a terrible schedule, but honestly, who would have thought the Big 10 would be this bad? Seriously... I thought UC playing Illinois and Purdue looked pretty good 3 years ago. Turned out to be awful for the SOS.

The playoff is way overdue... and needs to be more than 4 teams.

Nebraska and Michigan are not the powerhouses they used to be. MSU and
Whisky range from 7-5 and 10-2 any given year. Anyway in 2014
OSU makes the playoff if they are #1-4.

My point was that when that happens, which it most likely will, it wont matter that Baylor is ranked third, which they will be, as long as Ohio State wins against whomever they are put up against in the Rose Bowl.

My WHOLE point was about the fact that Baylor is going to end up in a ****** bowl and that will matter more than whether or not they get ahead of Ohio State in the poll.

It's not my problem that you lesser beings cannot keep up with that simple point and instead of to go off on tangents in your ever present pursuit of trying to challenge what ever the **** I say.

Good lord, someone break out the ant repellent around here.

What are you not getting? It WILL matter if Baylor is ranked third. If FSU or Bama trip up, that would put Baylor in the title game instead of Ohio State (assuming they jump them). How can you say Baylor's positioning doesn't matter if it can affect whether they are in the title game or just another BCS bowl???

You are slow in the head aren't you? I have said that I understand all this like five times now. It doesn't matter IF FSU and Alabama win out, and most folks believe they will so I say that it is most likely that Baylor's positioning won't matter.

What don't you get about that? You don't have one up on me, you are just unable to comprehend my overall point that I have made over multiple posts because you are the type of person that can only respond to and understand a single post at a time.

Get out of here.
