Alabama @ Auburn

[NJCardFan]

The Cal/Stanford game was crazy because of the lunacy of the play but I agree, that was an insane ending.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

Not so fast. There's talk of Auburn leap-frogging OSU and Mizzou especially considering OSU barely made it out of Michigan alive. Then there's the SEC championship. Hopefully though they put the right 2 teams in the championship game, not what they think will get the best ratings.

Auburn is not leap-frogging OSU unless OSU loses. If OSU had a loss then it may be possible but a one loss team isn't overtaking an unbeaten team from a major conference. Especially ateam like OSU that will have 25 in a row. Bottom line is Auburn has lost and OSU hasn't.

It's just something for ESPN and the talking heads to drum up controversy over this week.

Beating Michigan at Michigan is no easy task. Hoke was 19-1 at home prior to that loss. I don't see how winning at rivals stadium can be seen as a bad thing. Ask Bama how easy it is to do. Or Baylor/Fresno/Oregon/Stanford how easy it is to win on the road.

Btw, Michigan out played OSU and probably should have won. But they didn't.

It'll be a complete joke if Ohio State goes to the BCS game. They beat #23 Wisconsin and um... well... yeah...

That's funny. You should apply the same thinking to FSU since almost every computer ranking has FSU with a weaker schedule than OSU. I'm sure their schedule strength will get a huge boost next weekend when they play that football powerhouse Duke in the ACC championship while OSU will be playing a top 10 Michigan St. team.

Ok St. has every bit a claim to play as does Auburn or Mizzou but they also forgot to win all their games.

I'm not saying OSU is great but they are 12-0 winning by about 30 points a game and played 3 1/2 games without their starting QB.

One for the ages!! And I'm happy to say I was watching it live. Best ending I've ever seen, even better than the game Auburn won when the two DB's batted the ball into an Auburn WR for a game ending TD. Auburn must have sold their soul to the devil.

With players bought and paid for by Jim Tressel, Bobby DiGeronimo, and Eddie Rife. Tressel must have picked that up at a coaches clinic at Oklahoma.

FSU stomped Maryland when they were ranked 25th.

FSU stomped Clemson when they were ranked #3 and at Death Valley.

FSU stomped Miami when they were ranked #7.

And now they'll play Duke for the ACC championship and Duke is ranked #24.

Say what you want about FSU's schedule but if they beat Duke they would have beaten 4 ranked teams, all quite handily(so far) including 2 top 10 teams. OSU has only played 2 ranked teams so let's not go cast aspersions at other teams' schedule.

 

[NJCardFan]

I would like to add that this game shows us what's wrong with college football. Alabama, who had been #1 and on their way to a 3rd straight BCS title game loses on a fluke play and are now out of the picture. This is screaming for a real playoff.

 

[Mitch]

FSU vs. OSU if they are both undefeated.

 

[az jam]

Don't forget that Ohio State must still get past Michigan State as the Big Ten now has a championship game. It will be played at Lucas stadium (Dome ) in Indianapolis. Not a gimme for OSU as MSU has lost only one game.

Just going by computer strength of schedule's.

You're really trying to use Maryland, Miami, and Duke as strength of schedule builders for FSU . Clemson played 2 good teams the last half of the season and, as usual, were thoroughly handled in both.

If we're going to play that game, Northwestern was undefeated top 10 team when OSU beat them at home. Look how that turned out. Wisconsin was an undefeated top 10 team when OSU beat them. MSU will be a top 10 this week. Hell, Iowa may have even been ranked when OSU beat them. Beating Michigan, at home, is better than any win on FSU's schedule. Let's not act like they don't have any talent then sing the praises of 4 loss teams like UGA and A&M.

At least OSU is smart and brought in a $EC guy to run things. In about 2-3 years, they will be absolutely loaded across the board and probably won't get caught.

Don't forget that Ohio State must still get past Michigan State as the Big Ten now has a championship game. It will be played at Lucas stadium (Dome ) in Indianapolis. Not a gimme for OSU as MSU has lost only one game.

No doubt. MSU can easily beat OSU but I think OSU just has too much offense for Sparty.

 

[MrYeahBut]

Cbus, it's all good by me if OSU wins the national championship, just as long as the Cardinals don't draft any of their players next year...…

[Buckybird]

What an awesome game!

I can truly see the voters screwing the Bucs, IF they are fortunate enough to beat Sparty! The media along with the coaches love for the SEC is just sickening, year in & year out!!!

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Lol, Saban is a moron: who lets any college FG kicker attempt a 57 yarder with overte on the way? Stupid.

I agree! Funny thing is I told my GF, watch Auburn block it or run back the missed kicked for a TD. Given the situation & things that happened kicking before, it's was a horrible decision.

Wrong.

Highly unlikely.

The fact that you had to make all that stuff up in order to pad Ohio State's resume speaks volumes.

You were right, Northwestern was ranked 16th and undefeated and I forgot about Wisky getting screwed at ASU. Sorry, I didn't have the exact poll rankings from early in the season etched into my memory.

The fact remain that OSU plaed a harder schedule than FSU and also went undefeated.

 

[Duckjake]

The Big 10 was really weak this year. Northern Illinois beat not one but two Big 10 teams this season.

There is no way Iowa was ranked when they played Ohio State after losing to NI the first game of the season and beating Western Michigan and Missouri State.

Are Purdue, Illinois, and Indiana still in the Big 10? I think they moved to the Patriot league with Iowa State and Kansas.

I missed the last part of the 4th quarter. What I don't understand is why didn't Alabama go for the field goal when they had 4th down at the Auburn 13 yard line. This would seem to me to be a coaching blunder, you take the easy FG and are 2 scores up with 4 to 5 minutes left. Were they that unconfident in their FG kicker? Then they go for a 57 yarder after forgoing the easy one (true they missed a 33 yarder in between but doesnt change the decision they should have made at the time)

I wonder what happens if Missouri beats Auburn and Ohio State loses to Mich. State. Who would play FSU, Alabama or Mizzou.
