Everyones opinion on seasons directions...
First I want to say good try bucks-and congrats on overachieving this year!
A question I have thought up based on our last 3 bowl games...would you guys rather lose 2 games during the regular season and win a mid tier maybe bcs game...
OR
go undefeated maybe lose 1 during the season and lose the title game?
To summarize - lose a couple and Win a bowl Or Lose none until the champ game?

Wow. I don't mean "wow" as in what a tough choice that would be. I mean "wow" as in the sense that who on this board, or any OSU board, or not even on any OSU board just simply an OSU fan, would have even entertained asking such a question 8 years ago?!?
Kinda puts into perspective the lofty expectations that we Buckeye fans have become accustomed to during the JT regime.

I'd rather lose one or two in the year (AS LONG AS IT ISN"T scUM)...then win the bowl game.

I'll try to be kind here. If you can't handle playing for national championships and losing, as opposed to winning the Poulan Weed Eater Bowl, then you are rooting for the wrong team. Give me the national championship game, every day of the week. If the team that I root for is playing on the final day of the college football season, something really good happened in September, October, and November.

Exactly.
If Ohio State loses 7 and ends up in the Championship game, I'd prefer that. Winning a bowl game is nice and all, but like 808 says, if playing for all the marbles and falling short is a problem, go root for Auburn or something.

...or search out some Sports Illustrateds from late November in the Cooper era.
