If OSU gets in the title game, FSU will skin them alive.
Says you? Urban Meyer has won 2 BCS title games, so he knows how to prepare a team for the big stage. Plus, this game will be played in Pasadena, California, not south Florida. Buckeye nation will turn out in force for the game.
Tickets for the BCS title game are parceled out……each team gets the same….and FSU people will travel too.
Nothing prepares a team for a title game like a gauntlet of quality conference teams. The SEC is different right now because it does not have to look outside the conference for quality opposition like the Big 10 does. The SEC champion goes into a title game being tested by quality teams several times. Big 10 teams, right now, don’t. When the Big 10 regains its strength and prominence, and it will, that will change. Right now, and for the last few years, they cannot legitimately make that argument. The Big 10 right now is only great in the minds of its fans, who are encouraged by their fawning big-market media outlets who would benefit so much from it being true.
What has happened on the field at the end of the season for too many years now is the real arbiter of the quality of Big 10 football. Right now, the OSU hype cannot be considered credible, only wishful thinking.
