Nails on a blackboard ... That is what fans of tOsu have to endure. How do you stand that Beth Mowins, Sparkeye?
| As nation's only " 10-0" team, I am not complaining even if Lou Holtz was the announcer! Incidentally, I traveled to the suburb today, and saw billboards of Xfinity of Comcast cable advertising its sports channel with over-sized Ohio State football player atop facing the entrance of the city on I-90/94. A testament to tOSU's tremendous fan following in Chicagoland besides the obvious Illinois, Michigan State, Purdue & Michigan. Go Bucks!!  |

"Notre Dame got lucky this time imho; otherwise, tOSU would destroy the Irish on the field!!"
Actually, it was tOSU that got lucky. The bowl ban should have been three years and not just one. ;-)

The greed for more TV revenue is ripping apart common sense regional rivalries. It needs to stop!

Both SEC & ACC had expanded to 14 members as of late. With playoff system set to debut in 2014, B1G will likely to expand soon enough.

ACC would most likely attempt to replace maryland with louisville (bball + decent football team)

"ACC would most likely attempt to replace maryland with Louisville."
The ACC likes respectable academics. More likely UConn? Villanova and Georgetown would be good but they'd have to upgrade their football. I always wondered why Vanderbilt didn't give up on its SEC football aspirations and switch to the ACC.

Vandy isn't leaving the SEC any time soon, they are going to have a top 25 caliber program within the next 5-6 years and they know it.

And that gets you what--a spot in a 3rd tier bowl game? In the ACC they could have shot at winning it and a major bowl.

Eh they still wouldn't be able to beat Clemson or FSU, at least being in the SEC gives you the benefit of being over ranked and overrated

| Not too hard with the ranking racket that rewards the SEC. Any SEC team with four or five wins seems to become a top 25 program, the conference where losses do not count for much at all.
