SMU vs. Ohio State

[Mitch McConnell]

OSU is no accepting a bowl bid this year

Really? Something happen within the last week with the NCAA that we missed?

Nov. 22

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- If the NCAA allows Ohio State to go to a bowl game, the Buckeyes will pack their bags.

Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said Tuesday that Ohio State would not penalize itself by keeping the football team from making a postseason trip as a way of mitigating potential NCAA sanctions.

In an exchange of text messages with The Associated Press, Smith said, "Cannot speculate on what they (the NCAA) may do. No, we do not intend to self impose a post season sanction."

There has been speculation that the NCAA might hand Ohio State a bowl ban in addition to its other penalties. College sports' ruling body is still deciding Ohio State's sanctions for several instances of players accepting improper benefits and coach Jim Tressel not revealing knowledge of violations and playing ineligible players. Tressel was forced out on May 30.

UCLA just got NCAA waiver to be Bowl Eligible even though they will be 6-7 after Oregon crushes them Friday!

Wow not even .500 and with an interim coach!

Can SMU get the Bruins in a Bowl?

Who would win?

They're going to San Fran for the cheese bowl, though if we did play them they'd win in a blowout.

I think OSU can keep it closer than that.

You know what I don't get about this IS, personally as a Big Ten fan, I TRY and watch as many Big Ten bowl games as I can and the dang bowls are set up with 4 Big Ten games starting at the same time? 3 SEC games, maybe 1 more? WHY???? I'm sure SEC fans are doing what I do. If Michigan is playing Jan 2 I won't be seeing much of the SMU game, even if it's vs the enemy. As for me, as I said, I hope we're playing vs the SEC right around when that game kicks off.

Personally I still want SMU vs ohio, I don't want to even have to pull for them once this season. I'm pretty ticked at them.
