The big question then becomes, would the Buckeyes have played for the BCS title? I believe so, even with their weak nonconference schedule and the howling from the SEC
Nope...not with the Big 10 this year. Lets not forget how looked down upon they have been just b/c we can now play the "what if" with one of their teams. SEC would have had the votes...it's the world we live - SEC champ plays for the title unless an undefeated from a major conference that isn't ridiculed every week. Big 10 just wasn't up to snuff this year and the pollsters knew it. Which is why the AP never put them in the Top 2 - they're under no BCS obligation to honor the bowl ban.

OSU had serious lag in the polls because of their ban. They would have found their way in if they had won the B1G. The SEC banner gets the benefit of the doubt when all other things are equal, with the exception of OSU getting passed over for Bama last year. if OSU had been undefeated and Bama had a loss, all other things wouldn't be equal, and OSU would be in.

Ohio State and Notre Dame would have been the worst #1 and #2 teams in the end of the year polls since Georgia Tech and Colorado in 1990. Those undefeated mid-majors a few years back like Boise State and Utah and TCU were all better teams than this year's Ohio State team. Thank goodness we aren't seeing that matchup in the national championship game.
