face it. we just saw a National Championship Game, played in Ohio Stadium between Texas and Ohio State... if we go to a playoff system, that game really doesn't matter... in this case, we got to see a [censored]ing AWESOME football game, in which the winner had the inside track on hoisting the Crystal Football...
of course, you could argue that the loss still doesn't matter, since Ohio State could still win out, and play for all the marbles, but i would tend to disagree... college football is a 12 game playoff, and while admittedly not perfect, is IMHO, the best system...
there is no way we get that kind of intensity last night if both teams knew going in that they would still get their chance to play for it all, even with a loss...
i'm so glad that Geiger and now Smith have taken the initiative to schedule Texas, USC, Cal, Va Tech, and Miami in the coming decade... that was quite possibly the best scene i have ever witnessed in college football, outside of the Fiesta against Miami... and win, lose, or draw, i want to see that continue...
Florida State built their tradition by taking on all comers... now, even though Ohio State is an established National Power, we do not shrink from putting that reputation on the line against the biggest and the baddest... this will only make Ohio State better, and the Tradition will continue to grow...
GO BUCKS!!! IT'S GREAT TO BE AN OHIO STATE BUCKEYE!!!

Ok Lv I am going to disagree with you on this one.
Yeah the game was awesome, and I loved it even know we came out on the losing end, but that is the only game like that you are going to see this year. Hell you are lucky if you see two top 25 teams matched up against each other more than 2 or 3 times a week.
What if we wouldnt have scheduled a team like texas, we would still be in the title hunt, just like Louisville, and USC. The teams that play nobody. I just don't think it is fair that some teams have a ten times harder time than others.
For your opinion of that the game between us and Texas wouldnt matter if there was a playoff, yeah it would b/c if we would lose one game after that we wouldnt make it to the playoff. I am not saying put 20 teams, just put 8. The big conference winners and 2 at-large.
Would you say the same thing if we win out and USC loses one game and they make the bcs game instead of us. Just like AU got screwed last year.
