And Wisconsin mopped up Michigan...!

I was looking forward to the OSU vs. Michigan matchup because it might have mattered, but now...meh.

It still does matter, its a fight for the Big Ten title and the Rose Bowl.

And I'm absolutely thrilled - OSU fans, at least around here, are downright nasty.

I'm guessing that you are from Michigan or you live here in the great state of Ohio and you are a Michigan fan?
 
College football can be fun to watch, but the ranking systems and parallel conferences/standings are the most Byzantine and unneccesarily complex cluster****s I've ever seen. You need to be a statistician just to keep up...:rolleyes:

And every year for how long? it's been the same, controversial and inexact problem with the ranking system and bowls. That's why it's more fun to see all the #1's bite the dust in the regular season, and watch all the statisticians sweat it out. Go Oregon.
 
I just love it when the under dog wins.
Unless it the underdog is playing Texas Tech and then I want watch Tech do what they do best, put a lot of a points on the board, but hey I am a red raider after all.
 
Big Ten Conference teams will always have trouble winning the national title because they spend the whole season beating up on each other. I really get the feeling that people underrate the Big Ten because there is rarely a dominate team like Ohio State has been.

On a side note, as a Purdue and Penn State grad, I am rather enjoying Notre Dame's season...;)
 
How come no one has mentioned how well Illinois played, especially in the 4th quarter?

Roughly holding the ball for 14 minutes in the 4th quarter was simply incredible. OSU's D couldn't do anything to stop the zone read.

I love CFB! Especially when my Missouri Tigers are in the top 5! I love the fact that a team MU beat this year was the one to knock off OSU!!!! Go Tigers!!!!


Side note- College football needs a playoff for the following reason: It is the ONLY sport where you MUST remain PERFERCT (for the most part) to have a chance for the national championship. It isn't the best team who remains perfect most of the time- depends on who they play. Look at the KU Chickenhawks! They have played no one ranked in the top 25!!! Theywill in two weeks when the play MU though! :) Think of the pressure on these kids to be perfection and accept no other. We don't expect our NFL teams to be perfect- (heck, look at Payton and especially Adam Vineteri last night- mr. perfect himself) We don't expect perfection of MLB, NBA, NHL, etc. so why of college football? Either go back to the poll ranking and that is who is #1 or else make a four team playoff.
