Re: No love for Ohio State

This thread title is pretty accurate, because I wouldn't be surprised if Auburn jumps OSU.

Regardless, both will still have conference title games, and neither of those are guaranteed wins. This is going to be a crazy finish to the season.

I had actually typed up a post correcting you by saying the Big XII doesn't have a conference title game, but then I realized that you meant Ohio State.

I hate living in Oklahoma. =(

Re: No love for Ohio State

I would think the strength of victory is calculated as well. For example: Florida State's closest game was 14 @Boston College in Week 4. Ohio State has had four wins by only 10 points or less: Wisconsin, @Northwestern, Iowa, and @Michigan by 1 just last week.

This is in response to why Florida State isn't in the same boat as Ohio State, at least in my opinion.

As for Auburn, to get into this Championship game I honestly think they are going to need OSU or FSU to lose. I understand the SEC is "the best conference in NCAA Football" but still I look at the schedule and strength of victory. One loss by 14 @LSU. 6 games won by less than 10 points: Washington State, Mississippi State, Mississippi, @Texas A&M, Georgia, and Alabama. And 3 non-conference games that were jokes: Arkansas State, Western Carolina, and Florida Atlantic (just like the non-conference games OSU and FSU have).

Yes, the win vs Alabama was huge, and an absolute momentum shifter. But does it garner enough shift to pull a no loss team from the Championship? Probably not. Do I think they are a better team than Ohio State? Absolutely, but that's not how this fucking retarded BCS system works.

>implying Auburn won't get their shit pushed in by Mizzou

Auburn has the SEC's #1 ranked rushing offense, and Missouri has the SEC's #1 rushing defense. Auburn can't into passing the football so this will be an interesting matchup.

Hopefully Michigan State takes care of OSU. Even if its a close OSU win, I could see the computers considering strength of schedule and putting the SEC champion into the game

that feel when Missouri could potentially play for a title

Article *farts*

I would think the strength of victory is calculated as well.

Exactly this. FSU and OSU have a virtually identical SOS... It's something like OSU's is 64th, while FSU's is 68th. Florida State has bulldozed that schedule, while Ohio State has 'survived' it.

Auburn has the SEC's #1 ranked rushing offense, and Missouri has the SEC's #1 rushing defense.

I'm pretty sure Bama had the best rushing defense in the SEC before Auburn wrecked them, but I could be wrong. Regardless, I definitely don't think this game will be a 'gimme' for Auburn, which seems to be the popular opinion in my area. I wouldn't be surprised to see either outcome. Mizzou has been impressive, and their one loss is "better" than Auburn's, coming in double OT to the current #8 team.

Re: No love for Ohio State

It's possible that stat became true after the Alabama/Auburn game, I don't know.

It's also worth noting that Mizzou's loss to SC was without our starting QB. (I was a little happy to see him out for a while because I hate dual threat QBs)

Re: No love for Ohio State

Andddd the game is set. FSU-Auburn.

Serious question... What chance do you give Auburn of pulling the upset? No more than 40%, imo...

Re: No love for Ohio State

Florida State should roll Auburn over.

Re: No love for Ohio State

[igotrhythm]

Re: No love for Ohio State

Then people could mistake it for Oklahoma State.

Re: No love for Ohio State

or people could mistake it for Ohio State, when clearly it is referring to a rhythm game. clearly.

I want SEC championship streak to end so badly so so so so badly gogogogo FSU win win win win

Re: No love for Ohio State

SMU beat the spread against UCF! We beat the spread!

And actually hung in there pretty well, making them sweat a bit.

Ahwell. My other team (Baylor) should get me some revenge in the Fiesta Bowl.

OU will get devastated in the make-Guido's-day bowl. I cheered for them for the first time the other day and I still feel dirty, though I thank them immensely for keeping Baylor's hopes alive.

Re: No love for Ohio State

the Rose Bowl (Stanford vs. Michigan State) should be a hell of a game.

Re: No love for Ohio State

Remember when people thought Bama was the best team in the nation?
