North Texas "cause its onward to the Alamo Bowl" "Best team in the Pac 12" "Undefeated. maybe. Championship. yeah"You idiot. North Texas is better than the Alamo Bowl, the Pac 12, Definetly undefeated, Championship of course. Project UNT is finished after months of work.
But let's get back to Ohio State. The fear that the Buckeyes have rewritten their name on the short list of BCS Championship Game contenders is based, not only on their back-to-back losses in the past two of these games, but also on the 35-3 beatdown Ohio State suffered against USC last month. Your fears may be valid. But consider:
First of all, Ohio State beat a very good Michigan State team 45-7 in East Lansing. As much as it may hurt to say it, the Buckeyes on Saturday looked like one of the best teams in the country.
Second of all, Ohio State next plays Penn State. The winner of their game in Columbus on Saturday night will be one of the best teams in the country, even if it's leading the Big Ten.
And third, with Missouri and BYU eliminated from the national championship race, there is that much more room for an Ohio State to re-enter the discussion.
The Nittany Lions overcame a sluggish start, scoring the last 39 points of the game to defeat Michigan 46-17. Penn State performed the mirror image of Alabama, by starting slow and finishing fast. That will always be more impressive than a team that starts fast and hangs on.
"We're not just focused on winning," Saban said after the game. "We're focused on how we win."
If it will make you feel better, concentrate on the way that Texas toyed with Missouri in a 56-31 victory Saturday night. When the Longhorns ascended to No. 1 last week, they earned a combined 83 of 126 first-place votes between the AP and coaches polls. Between their performance and that of the Tide, the Longhorns received 123 of 126 first-place votes Sunday. One team looked championship-ready again this week. Ohio State did too, and if the Buckeyes find a way to upset Penn State, you may as well get ready to deal with them again.
