Almost Time to Close Down Ohio State Football!
Sep 11, 2008 | 6:49PM | report this
Finally, we won't have to hear much more about Ohio State football for a while. Why is it that a team with so few "quality wins" gets so much attention? Thankfully USC, another over hyped team, will hand the Buckeyes another SEC style beatdown this weekend. Unfortunately, much of the talk after their loss will be about how "If only Beanie Wells had played". Blah, Blah, Blah. The truth is the Bucks have gotten fat feasting on weak teams in a non competitve conference. Not only is the conference weak, like the Pac-10, they don't even play a conference championship game. Face it, it's not really much of a challenge when the only two teams in your conference that have even a chance of beating you are merely shells of what they once were. That's why when they actually play good teams, they get their butts handed to them. This week will be no different. When you compare the Big Ten with a conference like the SEC, it's not even close.  In recent history five teams in the SEC have won national titles if you count Georgia's in 1982. That's nearly half of the 12 team conference. Then consider that Auburn was robbed of a chance to even play for the title after an undefeated season in 2004. While the SEC teams canibilize each other, the Buckeyes are playing the equivalents of Vandy and Mississippi State every week waiting for the one game (Michigan) that really counts. That's the Michigan team the lost back to back openers to Appalachian State and Utah. USC basically has had it just as easy, but will at least demonstrate their superiority over the Buckeyes. No wonder these teams don't want a conference championship or a playoff. They don't want to be exposed as the frauds they are. With Ohio State out of the way early, the SEC team that is fortunate enough to survive the gauntlet will finally get an opportunity to put USC in their place. Maybe that will finally put and end to the AP's man crush on Pete Carroll, which awards the Trojans with the National Title even when they don't play for it.
