Hey....welcome Missmarley. :glugglug: we certainly have plenty of room for football-lovin' babes here so feel free to chime and talk smack with the rest of us. :thumbsup: Our good buddy Baill will be glad to have your Buckeye support.
As far as your comment about SEC teams not playing anything but marshmallows out of conference, I think most ranked teams in all of the BCS conferences are equally guilty of this. There are a few teams that are exceptions. UCLA scheduled Texas on the road this year out-of-conference and beat them. Bravo for them! Likewise, Miami played your beloved Buckeyes in the opener at the horseshoe and gave them a good run for their money. However, I would agree that this is the exception rather than the rule. There's a running joke here in Texas that if the University of Phoenix, DeVry University or ITT Tech ever decide to field football teams, Texas and Texas A & M will have them on the schedule. :1orglaugh
By the way....we already saw a Boise St./TCU bowl just last January. Why on earth would you want to see that again? If it happens again, it will just be more proof that these two teams are permanently uninvited and most unwelcome intruders to the BCS party.
No offense to your Bucks, but I think that Alabama and Oregon are the two best teams in the nation and would make a helluva championship game. 'Bama needs to make up for their loss to South Carolina but they've got the rest of the year to creep up on those teams ahead of them. In fact, at least 2 undefeated teams are guaranteed to lose this week (Oklahoma, Missouri, LSU or Auburn) so, if the Tide can win out and take the SEC championship as the rest of the season plays out, I think they have a real shot to make it to the NC. They'll also need Michigan State to lose somewhere along the line to make that happen. I see BSU and TCU slipping in the BCS as the year wears on and they both play out their cupcake schedules.
Just my opinion of course. Once again, welcome to the thread. :hatsoff:
