I dunno , I love Ohio state . But they barely beat a unranked Mi . Even tho they are unbeaten I think auburn deserves the chance after beating a #1 ranked Alabama more so than Ohio state . We'll see . I'm a OSU fan , I just don't think this team would win the national championship
I know what you're saying, but two things...
1. When it comes to "The Game" rankings and records don't mean squat. All the stuff on paper, all the stats, can get thrown out the window. That can be said for all major rivalry games. Just look to Oregon vs Oregon St, and for that matter Bama vs Auburn.
2. In 2002 Miami was heavily favored over a Buckeye team that needed help just to get to the BCS Championship. But that's why you play the games, and that's what every competitor wants. One shot, one game, one opportunity for a championship. Could you go out and get your ass kicked like the last two Championship appearances? Sure. But you could also go out there and win, and as a competitor you just want that opportunity, and you go out and play.
