Ohio State played the best team they faced all year last night....

[IndianaJones]

LSU did not. That is the reality of the SEC vs the Big 10.

[trumad]

1. Yep--

they were the number one ranked defense in football--- er...I mean in the Big 10....

[BOSSHOG]

2. OSU would not have won either of the SEC divisions

My sucky Hogs put 50 points on LSU this year. If OSU was in the SEC their fans would be bowling in Shreveport.

[IndianaJones]

10. Arkansas wins the Big 10 this year....or 2nd at worse. nt.

3. Woulda been nice if it had been at a neutral site...

...would have even been nicer to have a play-off--I don't think either team would have made it to the finals.

[BOSSHOG]

4. Nicer what??

to see Ohio State get their butts kicked elsewhere? Hey, Ohio State was the home team last night. I might agree with you about neither making the finals. Both, most likely would have been beaten by two SEC teams.

Two Conference losses. One National Championship. Dude!!

[joeybee12]

6. Nicer to see a better game...

I actually turned it on in the 3rd...then turned it off.

[BOSSHOG]

7. C'mon My Friend

the result would have been the same whereever they played. If ya wanna see a good game, check out the 78 final four game between Arkansas and Notre Dame. Priceless.

8. Hey, that game didn't matter!

The real thriller was two days before, ND-Duke. Even though Duke won, ND came back from about 20 down to almost win. I hate Duke.

[BOSSHOG]

9. Didn't matter if ya lost!

The last game between the two losers in the final four. Tripucka V the triplets.

Brewer takes the ball with ten seconds to go, dribbles down the court, not looking to pass. ND dropping back on defense. The clock ticking, Brewer at the top of the key, launches the last shot of his illustrious career. Swish. Game over.

So you were an Arkansas fan in 94 when the they beat Duke in the finals??

[joeybee12]

14. Actually, yes.

I root for anyone against Duke.

[Jack from Charlotte]

12. Wasn't at a neutral site last year... Ohio had 70% of the tickets in the stadium....

since they got in the big game in mid November. Florida didn't qualify until after The SEC Champ game around Dec 7th.

So that was essentially a home game for Ohio.

Didn't friggin' matter. They got smoked by 27 points.

What other excuses do you have.

[BOSSHOG]

13. Ya mean the SEC has a championship game??

which guarantees one of the best teams in the nation will have another opportunity to lose? I wonder how that works up north.

[rep the dems]

5. Amen. nt
