Buckeyes!

How the hell do you have over 2,000 MGoPoints???
December 4th, 2013 at 1:11 PM ^
Because I've been here a while and I'm not insane so I got upvoted because people still (used to?) enjoy rational football conversation. And, I'm, like, the best looking guy here?
December 4th, 2013 at 12:50 PM ^
My guess is Ohio State by maybe 10.
My hope is they narrowly defeat Sparty, and Auburn rolls. Auburn gets the NCG, Buckeyes still don't get there despite two undefeated seasons, and Sparty is denied the Rose Bowl yet again.
December 4th, 2013 at 1:04 PM ^
Yeah, this thread turned out to be as reasonable as I thought it would be.
December 4th, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
Cheer for either MSU or Ohio? A prime example of a "Hobson's choice": the necessity of accepting one of two or more equally objectionable alternatives.
A plague o' both your houses!

Personally I want Sparty to win. I work with several Buckeye fans and they'll readily admit that if they play FSU in the MNCG, they're going to get eviscerated. Aside from Dantonio being a jackass, he's ran his program cleanly and built it up over time. Also I think it'll be karmic for Dantonio to end Urban's streak, especially after Urban flipped a couple of commits from Sparty when he first came to ohio.
December 4th, 2013 at 1:26 PM ^
This is like choosing between a root canal and a full colo-rectal exam. I'll take Sparty because I don't want Ohio playing for the national "championship."
December 4th, 2013 at 1:35 PM ^
is Sparty the root canal ir the colo-rectal exam? I'm not sure from the description.
December 4th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
osu because how can anyone cheer for the Grouch?
also, OSU will win going away - they won't be able to keep up w/ OSU.
December 4th, 2013 at 1:46 PM ^
Terrible season all around for CFB. Too many bad guys winning, not enough good guys winning. I'll be glad when it's over.
To answer the OP's question: Go Green, and it's not even close. Ohio does not deserve to back into a NC with a tissue soft schedule and the fact that they're even in consideration is a big part of why this season is so awful.
December 4th, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
Not necessarily. I would put Stanford, Vanderbilt, Baylor, and Duke in the 'good guy' category. They all had pretty good seasons.
On the other hand, if those guys are doing well, then what's Michigan's excuse?
December 4th, 2013 at 1:55 PM ^
This matchup is too depressing for me to care about who wins or loses. If you would have told me back in 2004 (the last time Michigan won a B1G championship) that it would be 9+ years before Michigan wins another one and that Michigan State would come closer to winning one in that span of time than Michigan would, I would have called you a crackpot.
December 4th, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
MSU won a B1G championship in 2010. Call me a crackpot.
December 4th, 2013 at 1:56 PM ^

December 4th, 2013 at 2:43 PM ^
+1000
December 4th, 2013 at 2:50 PM ^
for 2 reasons:
1. I live in Columbus and I won't hear the end of it if OSU wins. If STAEE wins i can at least talk some smack.
2. MSU going to the Rose Bowl will not hurt us much in recruiting. They pretty much recruit Michigan, Ohio, and Florida. All the top prospects pick OSU or Michigan so MSU winning does not have a ripple effect. OSU winning propels them to another level, Alabama-like in the absolutely terrible B1G.
I shudder at the possibilities but OSU winning is far worse for us in the long run.
December 4th, 2013 at 3:17 PM ^
MSU is playing for a coin flip in the Rose Bowl. They will (unless blown the f* out) definitly be going to the Rose Bowl win or lose.
OSU is playing for National Title game.
What will make me most happy? OSU not going to the National Title Game. I don't care if Sparty gets to call heads or tails.
December 4th, 2013 at 3:23 PM ^
December 4th, 2013 at 4:01 PM ^
Want Michigan State to win, but I think Ohio State wins 31-27
December 4th, 2013 at 4:09 PM ^
Sparty. I'm not interested in anything that helps to promote the Ohio reign of terror. I think long term MSU can be handled. The BUTTGUYS, specifically Meyer need an ching in their armor. Matter of fact, I would like to see the BUTTGUYS lose this game and their bowl game. And I say that being a complete and unabashed BIG homer.
December 4th, 2013 at 4:10 PM ^
I will be rooting for the other Green and White school in the state to beat those bastards from Ohio. Two reasons: They are from Michigan and it should sew the seeds of chaos in the BCS.
In the interest of number 2, I will also be rooting for Duke and Missouri so there are a bunch of 1 loss teams duking it out.
December 4th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
December 4th, 2013 at 5:13 PM ^
However, I think OSU will win. Kenny Guiton might need to play more during this game, though.
December 4th, 2013 at 6:02 PM ^
Piss on ohio. I would've loved nothing more than for us to give them their first loss in two years, but I guess I'll be rooting for msu to do it. Personally I think msu is elite and osu is a fraud, but we will see on Saturday.
December 4th, 2013 at 6:12 PM ^
No one is giving Missouri any credit. To the guy who said they lost to Navy a few years ago and "are basically the same" apparently you have not seen them play this year. They are strong on offense and defense.
They are 11-1 with their only loss due to hitting the upright on a FG attempt in the 2nd OT to 10-2 South Carolina.
If they beat Auburn there is no way Bama should leap them. If that happens why even have an SEC championship game?
If OSU loses and FSU wins I think it should be FSU and NIU in the BCSCG.
December 4th, 2013 at 6:23 PM ^
then I will cleanse myself by watching them get trucked in the Rose Bowl
December 4th, 2013 at 6:53 PM ^
I don't like either team and I don't watch either team other than when they play Michigan. So I don't care who wins and I won't be watching.
December 4th, 2013 at 8:38 PM ^
I think Ohio St. takes control early with a couple long TDs and wins handily..OSU 38, MSU 14
December 4th, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
MSU win all the way.
Then Sparty goes to Rose Bowl to get spanked by Stanford. OSU plays Bama in another BCS bowl & gets crushed. Mich wins their pathetic toilet bowl - & all is good!!

Got Ohio. 2 bets set-up at the workplace, $5 and $10. Was hoping for more but I don't think too many Sparty's are confident here. They talk a big game but I don't buy it.
