Gordon Gee, There is a reason Ohio State doesn't win academic praise......... The Ohio State President publicly would vote for the current system over a Bowl System, and thinks Ohio State is more deserving than Boise and TCU due to their 'murderous' schedule.
Good grief.
I gave someone else here in Vegas a tough time for feeling the same way about the playoff.
Seriously, if there had never been an NCAA tourney, I can just see these old fossils supporting "NO TOURNEY!" in baskets.
Can you imagine if there WAS a 8 team tourney, and someone proposed we replaced it with the current system??
......the guy would be tarred and feathered immediately.
And as long as Ohio St plays Akron/youngstown state/etc along with their annual "1 tough nonconference game" AND along with three games vs. Indiana/Purdue/NWU/Minny, I think this dinosaur is a total idiot.
It's one thing to correctly exploit and take advantage of the system like the Buckeyes do, routinely getting into a championship game with the 4th best team. It's another thing to then pound your chest and call out the teams that are BETTER than you, That you Won't schedule HOME AND HOMEs with, AND memo to Ohio State........YOU GUYS STINK when playing true power teams in January.
