I was not impressed either. tOSU would eat either of these teams for breakfast. I would prefer that tOSU play someone else in Glendale, because if scUM (or any other team) were to play Louie-ville for the NC, many would be saying what a lucky break the got and that it wasn't really "legit" because they didn't have to face the best. I don't want to see a tOSU NC tainted by playing an "inferior" opponent. However, if they win out, they deserve to be there. Many didn't think tOSU deserved to be on the same field with scUM South in 2002 and look at what we did. If we do face The Ville on January 8th, I will not be complaining, but I also don't want our boys to have to deal with a bunch of crap.

I'd rather Cincinnati beat undefeated Rutgers; makes our win that much more impressive.

My wife said it best.
"Neither of those teams are top 5 material. Unimpressed."

Good grief, I hope Louisville sneaks into the National Championship game against OSU so we can blow them out 77-6. And then people will shut up about the Big East for the next 110 years. Their defense is terrible...

I must say that I found myself turning the channel a lot last night during that contest. What a sloppy game, neither of those teams are top 5 material.

Somewhere out there I can hear the BCS guys getting quite nervous about the idea of Louisville playing OSU or Michigan in the title game. That game wouldn't draw a lot of neutral fans, because it probably would be a blowout.

Someone needs to tell those guys that they need to play defense. Ask Notre Dame what OSU does to a good offensive team with a [censored]ty defense.

That's what those West Virginian's call that chain-linked thing separating their rusted-out truck on blocks from the neighbors mud pond.

One thought that went through my mind as I watched that yesterday was would this be what it is like to see Michigan State play Michigan State?

Then I realized we had already seen that, in effect, when ND played MSU.

So, I'm hoping that ND nets one or other of these two in their bowl game (should they qualify) - CFB or SI would gush over the prospect of a New Years point fest on grass.
