Beginning to think more and more 2014 was a fluke and Ohio State needs divine intervention to win a NC er the stars have to align. Basically my problem is wanting the Buckeye's to be more like 'bama and there is only one 'bama. Indeed, will never know if the Buckeyes win it all in 2014 w/JT. But no one can fault Urban for not being loyal.

Even Alabama doesn't win the national title every year, like you expect us to...

hmm, staff member. Childishness aside, if you're that upset go ahead and ban me for not blowing smoke up the current Buckeye football team's ass!

I'd rather ban you for the weird use of bold and different colors in all your posts, but.. well.. cooler heads prevail. It's one of the reasons I am a staff member, you know.

Like finding a more consistent qb and having a head coach who doesn't have a man crush on the current qb. Knowing no one is perfect, but doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is insanity. Maybe the current Buckeyes just aren't good enough to compete at an elite level consistently.

It is what it is. My perspective.

Eager to hear other folk on BP try to explain 55-24? Oklahoma was the better team, period end of story!

I feel compelled to say that I believe your expectations to be unrealistic. And that you have the tendency to ignore the foibles and shortcomings of other teams.

3. Cotton (Dec. 29): Ohio State (11-2) vs. USC (11-2). The two conferences that took the most convincing to scrap the BCS for a Playoff now see their champions square off 1,400 miles from Pasadena. Ohio State is the more talented team and could either win by 45 or lose by 31.

I was also disappointed in a couple of results this season, but a year that includes a win over TTUN and a conference championship is one that should be remembered more for the successes than the disappointments.

And this is the game thread for the Cotton Bowl, so in an attempt to get it back on track allow me to mention that I booked a flight and grabbed a ticket off StubHub this morning. Go Buckeyes, Poke holes in the Condoms!
