Ohio State
If Ohio State gets to and loses badly in the national championship, would that affect Big 10′s future chances?
I’m pretty unfamiliar with the politics of polls (and in turn, the BCS.)
If Ohio State manages to go undefeated and make the national championship game, but gets mangled again, would that affect the Big 10′s chances of getting to the championship in the minds of voters and computers in future seasons? Would voters say, “Well, I guess the Big 10 is just a joke, so maybe an undefeated team from their league shouldn’t make it to the national championship?” Or are voters pretty good about only considering the present situation?
No, it wouldnt. The Big 10 is an established big time conference, last year was a fluke for them to play that poorly, other conferences have had their team get blown out in a “championship game” even the “almighty” SEC had florida blown out in a 1 vs 2 matchup where florida came in #1. Big 12 had it happen to Nebraska in the orange bowl, but I believe they were the #2.
Big 10 is as tough a conference as any other BCS. There record (though OSU is 0for) vs SEC
Last year 2-1
Last 5 year 8-6
Last decade 13-13
So they will deserve the spot win or (unlikely) lose.
