The Ohio State Buckeys are already 0-2 against teams who made it to BCS bowls, and are ready to make it 0-3. Normally in BCS bowls, you have a sense that it will at least be a competitive game. As much as everyone was counting out Utah, at least Utah deserved to be there. While Ohio State has only 2 losses, it's hard to find anyone who was truly impressed with their play this year.The Buckeyes got rocked when they played USC, and lost to Penn State as well, who also got smothered by the Trojans. Their most impressive win was over Michigan State, who lost to Georgia in their bowl game.
Regardless of what happened in their respective bowl games, there is no doubt whatsever that Boise State and Texas Tech were more deserving of a BCS bowl than Ohio State.
In fact, allowing Boise State into a BCS bowl could have fixed the current nightmare that the BCS has on their hands, since their win over Alabama has everyone furious with the BCS, while a win over Boise State would have been far less controversial in the end.
Regardless, this is your official live thread for tonights Fiesta Bowl, which features all-world QB Colt McCoy and the Texas Longhorns against Terrelle Pryor and the Ohio State Buckeyes. If you're watching the game (8 pm EST on FOX), then feel free to chat about it here with your fellow FanIQers.
83% picked Texas to win this one, but I'm calling it a lock. I'll take the Longhorns by at least 2 TD's. They're pissed off about a perceived National Championship snub, and they're ready to try and prove it. Oh yeah... and they're just a much better team.
Chat it up here or on the game page, and always, enjoy the game!
