The BBC’s got a nice (and quick!) post about our BCS possibilities should the Buckeyes and Nittany Lions win next week: If both Utah and Boise State win out, we’ll just have to trust our luck, marquee value and massive fan base to get an at-large bid. If we don’t get that bid, that’ll suck but I’ll be able to live with it. A loss to either Utah or Boise, and we’re in.

I’m guessing that even if both win out, we play Texas in Glendale. And win.

“Illinois’ OC needs to tell his junior QB Juice Williams to throw the ball to open receivers, and remind him that, as a football player, he can expect to get hit from time to time.”

“Terelle Pryor is not properly deferential to opposing fans, but he is so to Ohio State’s seniors, which is illustrated by the way he gets in those seniors’ faces.”

“As a Heisman Trophy winner from the University of Houston, I can unironically say that the level of competition a given team faces should not be a factor in how one perceives that team.”

“I believe that three of the eight non-Championship Game BCS slots should be filled with Utah, Boise State, and Ball State (at the possible expense of Ohio State or Penn State depending on next week, the SEC runner-up, and even USC(!) should the Beavers win out). I believe this particularly about Ball State so strongly that I will mention it no less than three times.”

“Punting from your opponent’s 28 is the right thing to do.”

Looking back to the hit on the 1st Qtr crossing pattern and the late sideline hit… has anyone taken more vicious hits than Sansenbacher? My God, he can’t wait until season ends, while he can still remember it.
