I fucking hate you. I don't even like OSU because I'm long time UofM fan, but the big-10 sucks so bad that I didn't care who won as long as they were big10.

You can when UofM's season gets shot. Then MSU gets slapped around followed by the rest of the Big10 teams.

Either slapped around or just generally broke down in big moments. I hope the NC game will be a good one. I really don't want Florida to win, reallyreallyreally.

wow tonight, I'm an OSU fan but I totally agree with you. When Mich took out Florida last year I was so extremely happy. It was a great way for Lloyd Carr to go out and a plus for the Big-10. Oh, and I hate hate hate Florida (for reasons I think you can guess =P).

I think the rivalry has turned into conference battles nowadays. As much as I might root against Mich in Big 10 play, I find myself cheering for them against other conference opponents.

On another note, anyone else getting tired of the Utah praise for their undefeated season? I know they beat bama, but seriously? Their conference isn't nearly as strong as the others and for people to call them "national champs" already is ridiculous. Hopefully we can get some playoffs in here soon to settle this for good.

rick reilly begs to differ http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3815656

and the only ridiculous thing about it is that utah was given zero chance to even be national champion, courtesy of the bcs.

that's the whole reason I brought it up, because of rick reilly's article.

I totally agree that there should be a playoff system, don't get me wrong. I think that's what rick reilly is really trying to say. But for you to give them the national champ crown because of the BCS system is ludicrous. I thought we were trying NOT to reward teams that beat cupcakes, and Utah's weaker schedule is exactly that. I know they had some tough competition in their conference, but it's nothing compared to the Big 12 or the SEC.

I have nothing against Utah whatsoever, they beat a good Crimson Tide team and deserve a whole bunch of credit. But until they start a playoff system, the "national champ" stamp should go to one of the two teams in the BCS NC game.

I don't hate Florida; since UT has no hope of a #1 ranking at this point, I can safely root for a team to beat the team we already beat imo. Computers may like them more but OU still sucks~

Also TX came out really flat against OSU, just because it's a BCS bowl doesn't mean our guys were hella motivated to be there- this is a team that was one miracle pass upset away from playing in the NC game, were STILL in consideration for the NC game... and then they had to play against OSU in the Fiesta Bowl. Kinda hard to be quite as motivated when you're in the race for the NC and some computers decide you're a few arbitrary points worse than a team you already beat and thus less worthy of that game.

Utah deserves some credit for a good season, but they don't deserve more than maybe a nicer bowl game at best; maybe in the future they'll be able to schedule in more than one good team to prove themselves.

Wow, I totally disagree with that. Why would Texas play LESS motivated after getting shafted from the big game? Why would they give MORE ammunition to the people that just shafted them? That makes absolutely no sense.

After the game, Texas players repeatedly said they were out to prove people wrong in this game. Your reasoning is unfounded.

This. I said something similar earlier, but I think it may have been over looked.

People always SAY that, and on some level they mean it... doesn't mean they won't feel less motivated on another level. UT teams have some recent history of underperforming in "disappointment bowl" games. Credit to OSU and all, of course, but UT was far more likely to lose to themselves than they were to OSU's football team... and they almost did. Oh well. We won, OU still sucks, let's move on.
