Unfair as hell, but there it is.

I agree, unfortunately.
It just doesn't make any sense at all that we get bashed so much for going to three title games in six years, with one win. I wouldn't mind it as much if we weren't voted into the title game(s) by the same people who bash us daily. I said this in another thread - the media acts like we forced ourselves into the title game last year. The [censored]ing computers had a VT/LSU title game; it's the media who wanted
OSU/LSU. Just go ahead and make those kids feel terrible, people who voted for us. It's their fault. I'm really glad we made it - three title games in six years is impressive. I'll take a title every six years for the rest of my life and be ridiculously happy about it. But acting like Ohio State fields a team that is going to get blown out in every big game is just getting stupid.
I'm glad I'm going into Journalism. I can give us all something worth reading.
