re: #1 OSU 42 VT 24 -- OSU pulls away late, setting up showdown with Mich St Nov 20

Yes it changes. Right. Who knows, maybe Penn State and Rutgers will turn out to be really good? Do you think they will?

Wisconsin could get on a roll, Michigan State could get a great too 10 win this week, Minnesota could rebound a tough loss to TCU, Maryland could wind up a solid team, Northwestern beat Stanford and could have a solid year.

I'll tell you. The 2000-2011 sec teams didn't even need to play an OOC game. The conference was brutal. A physical gauntlet. Sure you'd survive one week, but at the expense of the next. i loved that the previous week was relevant to the current one. That's how a Kentucky (with a good QB granted) beats LSU in 3OT. I loved that shite. It's just not there anymore. 2011 was a great year for the sec, but that was their swan song. Now it's an offensive league.

Vanderbilt lost to fricking Western Kentucky. I can cherry pick too, bro.

Wait though, Western Kentucky won a national championship, so it's different.

But you should be better at reading comprehension.

Uh... 2002.

Phantom PI. I guess we disagree about what "legitimate" means also.

So now we are discrediting wins from teams that deserved to be there?

For instance, Bama didn't deserve to be there in 2011.

Vanderbilt

We can do this all day.

Bottom line is the chips were down and Ohio state beat the best sec team, a dynasty of CFB and did so convincingly in the sense they didn't rely on gadgets, flukes or luck. They lined up and beat them. Then they beat Oregon.

Last year everyone whined about their schedule but then they went out and were clearly the best team in the nation. Maybe they aren't this year, but this thread is sour grapes. Maybe the SEC is back to form this year. I don't know because no one has really played a meaningful game yet.

Your loss bro. I have some killer Real Analysis theorems I can send your way if you ever want enlightenment.

No thanks, I prefer real math.

What a great game. Too bad Philip Buchanan was in Oakland, he would've snatched that ball out of the air. Game over

Miami had 3 DBs selected in the first round that year. Two CBs. I think rumph or buchannon makes that play. But yes, obvious interference
