OVERRATED

As I was watching a BCS wrap-up show this week, I got devastating news! Robert Smith (one of the better player-turned-analysts) told me that THE Ohio State University is a likely candidate for a BCS bowl game because of the rule that prevents a conference from having 3 teams playing in BCS bowl games.

Yes, I am a huge Iowa Hawkeyes fan, which also means that aside from the Cyclones, the Buckeyes are about my least favorite team. But I still think that no team with two losses in the Big 10 should even be able to be in the same city as a BCS bowl game. I'm also clear that these two losses came to two highly-ranked teams in USC and Penn State. But let me remind you that those teams have also lost to Oregon State and Iowa respectively.

As it stands my only hope is that Utah and Boise State all win out, and that voters decide that 2 BCS-buster teams would make things exciting. Additionally, I have to root for the Dave Wann-stache-led Panthers and the Hokies to win their their conferences and break the top 16. Until then, I'm just going to complain about how the most overrated team in the most overrated conference probably will make it to a BCS bowl.
