Quote:Yes, we do know it would be a blowout. What has happened in the last two BCS National Championship games in which Ohio State has played a team from the South? Complete domination by Florida and LSU. They can not match up with the combination of size, speed, and strength that southern football teams possess. Alabama and Florida State would physically whip Ohio State. This Oregon team is not the same Oregon that Ohio State beat in the Rose Bowl a few years ago. Oregon has too much speed for Ohio State.

Stop!  Look I am not an Ohio State apologist but please just stop.  This is college football we are talking about.  With top guys leaving for the NFL and important cogs graduating and redshirts being added and true freshmen arriving what does what happened a year ago matter?  Let alone 4, 5, or 6?  Different head coach, different team, different everything.  I recall when a Big 8 team of Nebraska showed up and was blown out by I believe FSU due to speed.  What did Osbourne do?  Added speed and then won 2 back to back.  I remember Fla getting blown out in their first attempt and Spurrier came back with experience and finally gave Gator Nation the Crystal Football.  I do agree that in the past the Big 10 could not match up but times they are a changing.  You Gator fans may hate Urban Meyer all you want, but he will bring the Big 10 via Ohio State into the modern era of college football.  Once that happens look out, and also, that will be a good thing for football fans.
