The Ohio state team that Texas beat wasn't the same one that defeated Notre Dame. I'm not sure you can do the "we beat them, and they beat the guys who almost beat them" routine anyways. The Rose Bowl is its own matchup, and I look forward to it. But I also look forward not to hearing all the hype (unless Texas wins, in which case I'd never hear the end of it). So on to Conquest, Trojans! Should be a thriller (maybe).
I guess I was living in alternate history--obviously I mean that Ohio State team that was beaten by Texas.
