Well, do you want to face LSU in New Orleans? As oppossed to not meeting them, not being in the NC game, yes. And, until
OSU wins some games against SEC teams you have to expect this kind of reporting. I wonder if some of the people that are most upset by this article are the same ones who want to see Notre Dame beat Michigan, or Penn State lose to Slippery Rock. TOTAL conference strength matters in rankings and in bowl bids.
Part of the problem is that the Big 10 team has to play in the South or on the West Coast. While that doesn't explain last year's meltdown, when both teams had to travel quite a distance, it is something that needs to be addressed IF the National Championship is going to be decided by bowl season. Every one of the BCS games was established to boost tourism at a time when there wasn't much industry in those areas and less than 50% of the population lived there. That's over.
Now would LSU, Oregon or Florida like to play Ohio State in Soldier's Field?
If the NFL can play important January games in outdoor stadiums, where you're suppossed to play football, then so can college teams and if these games are suppossed to determine NATIONAL rankings, then they need to have REGIONAL settings.
Maybe it won't stop losses like last year's BCS and Rose Bowl losses, but it will bring about some parity to the NC system and bring some revenue back to a region that has done so much for college football.
I know I know, but just shows how how dumb he is........
