Ohio State or West Virginia?
Nov 28, 2007 | 12:22PM | report this

I got some really interesting comments about my last blog.  I know that it's technically not the coach's job to train people for the next level... but it's the point of college overall.

Why do you go to college?  To get ready for the next level of life.  If that next level is making a living on Sunday, then you better be prepared to succeed!  If the coach doesn't care that his kid is going to suck in the pros, then he's pretty heartless.

Plus, if some of those wacky-throwing option QB's threw a little better, they would be completely unstopable.

Now, let me weigh in my 2 cents on West Virignia or Ohio State.

I'd really like to see West Virigina get a chance, should Mizzou beat OU.  I just think it would be a more fun game to watch.  But you could make a great argument for West Virginia.

Their one loss was on the road against a team that at that point was hot and in the running for the National Title.  Also, Pat White was hurt.  And, they almost won!  With White in the lineup this team is close to unstopable.

Ohio State's one loss was late at home to an overachieving team that is still a year away from being good enough to challenge for the Big Ten crown.  Also, Illinois runs a similar to offense to West Viriginia, only without as good of playmakers, and they cut the Buckeyes up.

I love Big Ten football, I really do.  But, I think it would be nice to see some new blood play for the title.  However, if Mizzou loses or West Virginias loses to Pitt, none of this discussion matters.

I tell you what, if it's Ohio State vs West Virginia in the title game, I wouldn't be surprised to see West Virginia win.
