In fact, there have been times (such as this past year) where OSU football's been hurt by the fact there wasn't a playoff






You really think OSU would have won THIS past year in a playoff???? Whata joke you are. So the last year OSU team was better than the 06 or 07 OSU yeams????

Ohio state lost to one of those ff teams. Notre Dame also choked in the tournament. Sounds like u mad?


Honestly, yeah. It pisses me off that people truly consider a team like VCU or Butler better than ND or OSU just because they won four games in a row at the end of the season instead of two, when the other 30+ games, they were far inferior. ND went 2-0 against UCONN, including a win on the road with the Big East Player of the Year playing only 27 minuts due to foul trouble/fouling out. I think it's perfectly fair to think the Irish were better.

Ohio State would have likely beat any team, except maybe Kansas (not sure who win that) if they played a series.

Its not that March Madness is dumb. I just DON'T think you understand how it works. AND If OSU or ND were THAT good they would have found a way to get to the Final four. BUT.................

I was referring to football when making that post about the playoff, but FWIW, I do agree.

A three year old understands how March Madness works.

Oh, well I am pretty sure Ohio State or Kansas could have won a playoff even in football.

OSU for sure could have. Heck, give Kansas a certain draw, have a few upsets to clear their path of difficult opponents before they have to play them and maybe just maybe...

Exactly. That's my point. Kansas football isn't good, just like VCU basketball.

They went on a pretty damn good 4 game run, but there was nothing before that to suggest they were anything more than a bubble team at best.

They didn't even dominate the weak conference they were in.

Anyway, my point being before this thread derailed, you can't use how one team does (especially in a format like March Madness) to determine how good a conference is. The earlier post said that the SEC was better than the Big Ten because a team made the Final Four and no Big Ten team did. That would be like saying the Horizon League was the second best conference in the country this year.

The Big Ten is MUCH better than the SEC in BBALL.

BUT in the tourney ALL that is thrown out. YOU should know this.
