(Honorable mention for Nebraska's first win too.)

Yeah, I'm a Big ten fan.

I'm not a math major, but the Big Ten has 14 teams, and the Big Twelve has 10.

Jess, my wife's whole family are Ohioans, many are Ohio grads. She was groaning all the way through the game, can't imagine what her boys, nephews, and grandkids are feeling about now. Also, how about those UCF Knights? Doubt they could stand up against Bama or LSU but they've beat some pretty impressive teams.

I'm a Michigan fan, but I have great respect for the Buckeyes under Urban Meyer. 

It wasn't Ohio State losing (even though it put us ahead of the Buckeyes in the BT East), it was big underdog Purdue winning (all game long).

Some happy fans.


UCF has 20 straight wins and that sure is impressive.   They really ought to start adding some tough non conference games.

Yeah, that was the topic of conversation on one of the ESPN talk shows. They'll go to a bowl game but won't be considered for the Championship games. Their conference and their schedule prevents that. Just because you beat someone that beat someone that beat someone doesn't mean you will win. Just ask Ohio State. How many UCF players would start at 'Bama or Michigan or Ohio State? Or vice versa?

The wife is a Ohio State fan being a buckeye her whole life.  At ten o'oclock she was so frustrated she turned the station.  I fully expected Ohio State to come back like they did against Penn State.  This is a bit of a shock, but last year Iowa put over 50 points on them.  Each game is different.  Good for Purdue, really good.  Man, Michigan's defense put a beat down on State for the ages and I hope this continues for the rest of the season.

As for Central Florida.  I think it desperately points out the need to expand the playoff to at least 8 and I would suggest 12 teams with the top 4 getting first week byes.

Re. Ohio getting beat and UCF winning #20, one needs to remember that no matter how good you might be as a team or an individual sport(golf?), there's always someone that will hand you your butt on any given day. That will happen to UCF eventually and who knows, they may go on to win another long list of games. Ohio is a good example with the beating they rec'd. from a major underdog...."on any given day".....

At least 55 yrs. ago when I first started hacking my way around a golf course, I wasn't a threat to anyone with a modicum of skill in the game. I had only recently finally broke 100 and was thrilled with my performance. At the time I worked for Xerox in the Chicago area and we had a fellow employee that bragged of a 3 handicap; i.e., a talented player for a non-pro. By sheer coincidence, one afternoon I ran into him at a local course I used near our house so we decided to play a round together, I figured this would be like Slaughter on 10th Avenue. Just for fun, when ever he hit a shot I would exclaim what a great shot, really bragged on him a little not realizing the effect it was having on his game. By the end of the front nine, we were within two strokes of each other. Then it dawned on me so after some refreshments, I continued my "adoration" on the back nine. For the first time since I started playing I shot in the low 80's, don't do that now. The braggert shot an even 90. From that day on, we never heard about his golf game at work. At one point during our game, he got so mad he threw his club halfway down the fairway of a par 3 hole, then when he went to retrieve it he ran over it with his cart. Like Ohio this weekend, the better golfer couldn't hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle if he was sitting on its back, and that same day I couldn't miss it seemed....hasn't happened since that I recall. So, no matter how good you think you might be at something, sooner or later.....   Roll Eyes

Better to be judged by 12, then carried by 6.
