I hadn’t gotten the chance to look at that stat in any detail, but here are the L’s to the SEC and the Buckeye coaches:

1978 Sugar Bowl (Alabama) Woody Hayes
1990 Hall of Fame Bowl (Auburn) John Cooper
1993 Citrus Bowl (Georgia) Cooper
1995 Citrus Bowl (Alabama) Cooper
1996 Citrus Bowl (Tennessee) Cooper
2001 Outback Bowl (South Carolina) Cooper
2002 Outback Bowl (South Carolina) Tressel
2006 BCS Title Game (Florida) Tressel

Another omen the buckeyes have in their favor is that Tressel's first bowl loss to a SEC team was to South Carolina in 2002 (for the 2001 season) and that was followed up by a championship the next season. So maybe he'll follow up his 2nd loss to an SEC team in a bowl game with another championship.

I've always thought we buckeye fans owed a debt of graditude to South Carolina for beating us in 2001 Outback Bowl (for the the 2000 season) because it was that lost and started the ball rolling for the firing of John Cooper.

Yes there actually was a bowl game last night - if you can call it a game.

TULSA (CUSA) 63 Bowling Green (MAC) 7

THis "game" did vault Conf-USA over the WAC and ACC in the bowl standings (Doesn't really say much) and firmly entrenched the MAC as the worst conference this bowl season.

Current Conference Standings :

Sun Belt 1-0
MWC      4-1
SEC      6-2
Pac 10   4-2
Big 12   5-3
Big East 3-2
Big 10   3-4
CUSA     2-4
WAC      1-3
ACC      2-6
Indies   0-1
MAC      0-3

Tonight the Big 10 can salvage a weak bowl season or the SEC can put an exclamation point on a dominant one. Either way it should be a great game
