I'm sure most of you have heard the nonsense that Ohio State President Gordon Gee said last week. He made the comment that teams from the Big Ten and SEC are more deserving to play in the BCS National Championship game because they play tougher schedules than other teams. I understand that the teams in the Big Ten and SEC do have tough schedules, but how can the Ohio State president have any input on that!? Does he not look at their schedule every year!? I know they played Miami this year, which was a tough game, but their other non-conference games were Marshall, Ohio, and Eastern Michigan... c'mon! If Gee thinks his team is deserving to play in the National Championship game, I suggest scheduling harder non-conference games to gain more points in the standings. It's just so annoying to always hear Ohio State fans talk about football, because they are constantly saying how great they are and others overlook them when it comes to deciding rankings. Just a little FYI: there is more to life than Buckeye football; give it a break people.
Ohio State president: Football Not My Arena
Gordon Gee is just taking the first step that needs to be taken by the bigger schools. The only reason people are making a big deal about it is because no one with his status has come out and said it before. I applaud Gee and hope that more BCS conference schools will speak out against this. If a school like Boise State really thought they can compete week in and week out with major schools of the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, and PAC 10 then they would have joined a conference like the BIG 12 or the PAC 10. The PAC 10 was trying to create a power conference and with Nebraska leaving the BIG 12 will could use another good team. Instead Boise chose the ever so powerful Mountain West. I'm not saying they couldn't compete with in the larger conferences, but it wouldn't be as easy to go undefeated every year. Great choice Boise! Way to go after that great competition you say you can beat!
