I'm so glad we had to wait this long for a lopsided Championship game. As Headache has already mentioned numerous times, get a damn playoff system.

What, 4-14 for 35 yards with -29 rush yards isn't a good showing?

Ohio State has done this for as long as I have followed college football; when they are heavily favored throughout the season, they invariably suffer an egregious meltdown at some point (the absolute worst was the team that lost to Michigan State in something like 98). The only year that they were able to win was the one in which they were predicted to be stomped by Miami.
As for Smith, he has probably dropped to middle or late second round.

tremendous downside potential
it appears as if the chick who grabbed nick saban and gave him a smooch at the alabama airport the other day...
... was pulled over on her way out of the airport and charged with DUI
gooooo tide!

I don't think any quarterback could have succeeded with that pass protection, do you?
You're only as good as your lines and yesterday the OSU offense and defense lines were handled.
Is he or was he ever a top 10 pick, I never believed it. Those who did, what color is the sky in your world? However, I do think, depending on his workouts, will go between the late first and late second round.

4/14, 35 yards, 1 INT, -29 yards rushing, 1 fumble.
i suppose the pass rushing will become less of a problem for him once he gets to the NFL, yes?
troy smith is a second day pick in my eyes.

I say 3rd or 4th round

Smith will not fall to the second day; in my eyes, he is still one of the top prospects at quarterback out there. Only JaMarcus Russell, who seems to be this year's Jay Cutler in terms of soaring draft stock, is a stronger prospect. I'd certainly take Smith over Brady Quinn, the latter of whom will almost certainly be an NFL disappointment.

I'll guarantee you right now Quinn gets drafted at least 50 spots higher than Smith.cdisantis83 said:
Not a ton of NFL execs will spend a first rounder on a 6'1" QB.
Quinn's size and experience in a pro set will have him the 2nd QB drafted (assuming Russell comes out).
Will Quinn be a disapponitment...possibly, but Troy Smith will probably end up much like Brad Smith, a 3rd stringer who plays some wideout and special teams.

And lets spin it a few other ways..In head to head bowl matchups, the SEC outscored the Big 10 65-51.Chizip said:
Big 10 was outscored in its 7 bowl games 191-141
Head to head, the Big 12 (in a down year) was 2-0 vs Big 10 in bowl games.
ACC was 1-0 head to head and Pac 10 was 1-0 head to head with the Big 10.

And where was Brees drafted?
No way Smith goes ahead of Quinn. What their careers hold....nobody knows, but Quinn will get drafted much higher.

I've said it repeatedly.U2ME3 said:
Experts however were claiming the Big 10 as the top conference this year cause of tOSU and Michigan, when they just fed on cupcakes all season, this year those cupcakes happened to be the balance of the Big 10.
PSU was average. Wisconsin was decent but didn't have to play OSU.
Iowa was mediocre.
Purdue and Minnesota getting bowl bids was a joke.
Mich State, Indiana and Northwestern were awful.
Illinois was showing a few signs of being on the upswing, but that upswing started down in temple territory.

Tis a wager. In April the loser has to sit at his keyboard naked on the Monday after the draft so the rest of Interference can snicker.U2ME3 said:
I'll take the under.

Agreed. I don't know if Quinn will be successful or not - visions of Rick Mirer are coming to me - but having been in Charlie Weis' system gives him a big boost.

No, but someone else (who my response was indirectly directed atU2ME3 said:
) said they'd certainly take Smith over Quinn. I doubt there's any NFL GM who feels that way right now.
