My response was to mitchrobstew not you.

Your pet name for mitchrobstew is "any of you"?

I had to lol on that one    Sure, while I wasnt targeting you specifically, I can see where you are coming from.

YOU took it upon yourself to defend OSU thinking I was singling you out when I wass simply stating that OSU is a weak school in a weak conference that is being proped up by a long legacy of good teams.

And I strongly contend that they are not.

Then we will have to agree to dissagree.

My comments regarding UC have been because I have seen them play and I think they are the best team in Ohio at the moment.

And my comments regarding the furor over any of these teams is that maybe people should lighten up a little bit.

Amen, No arguments here

Im just tired of people trumpeting about their own school while turning a blind eye to the glaring defects in a squad.

Since you made it a point to single out Ohio State fans for criticism, I'm curious to know the details of this.

Not sure what you want here, do you want to know why I think OSU is not a good football team or do  you want to know why I singled out OSU fans?

IF the team then I think OSU has a descent defense but they have a very lackluster offense that gets them into trouble when they have to play from behind.  This was made evident in thepurdue game.  If they get into a game with an explosive offense that they cannot contain, they cannot come back from it.

If you are wondering why I singled out OSU fans, well part of it is that I live in and amongs millions of drunken OSU fans who think that they can bleed scarlet and gray at will. (scarlet I will grant, but gray is kinda hard..)  And mitchRobstews post just kind of let me believe that that was where he was coming from.  The idea that an undefeated Iowa will pose zero threat to a OSU team is frankly a little fantasy.  even money Ipwa beats the tar out of OSU in that game, but his post seemed dead set against it..sort of in the vein of all the rabid OSU fans I have to endure every week they play.

OSU has a great heritage and has some good qualities, but in my opinion, the only reason thay are in the top 25 this year is because of their legacy.  A legitimate team should be blowing the doors of of every Big ten team they play.  The big ten is that weak this year.  we have maybe a handful of outstanding players accross th e entire conference this year.  some of the SEC schools have that many on their special teams

When did I say Ohio State was good?  Both are overrated.  I just think Iowa is extremely overrated.  How did you get that I'm an Ohio State fan out of my post???  If anything I'm a Big 10 hater.  I've seen first hand how overrated Iowa is.  Their fans actually think they deserve NC contention.  They think MSU is better than Tennessee.  They are delusional.  It might be close, but its going to be Iowa's toughest game this year.  Any team that can spread the field can beat Iowa.  Any other conference's top team could mop the floor with Iowa.  Iowa lacks speeds everywhere.  But I'm ok with them making it to a BCS bowl and getting owned so their fans will quit boasting (because even the only other thing they have to look forward too is their wrestling program). 

For the Iowa State being a good team comment.  Sure they are decent, but they are in the Big 12 North.  Pretty much the wiping boys for the Big 12 South.

UK players who harp about Kentucky's team no matter what.

First of all, UK fans don't really talk about football.

Second of all, UK's basketball team is just so awesome that they are great no matter what.  Totally kidding!  I've actually been disappointed with the UK program ever since they ran Tubby Smith out of town.  However we are probably the best team in the country this year (at least on paper).

I support a 114 team playoff. single elimination. You lose once and your season is over.

Assuming all 3 win out, the winner of Texas vs Florida/Alabama should no doubt be the National Champion.

That being said, I totally support a 6 or 8 team play-off.

The key word is "if"  Alabama still has to play LSU and eventually both of them will meet so one will have to lose.

Texas is very lucky that bradford has a bum sholder.  Oklahoma almost won that game with out him.  I think Texas can be knocked off still this season.
