This year will finally show the nation that Big Ten football is the best football in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes and Michigan Wolverines will match up as #1 against #2 in Ohio Stadium. The sad part about this contest is that they’re the top two teams in the country, and this isn’t the National Championship.
The fact that USC calls their match up with California a “big game” is an insult to college football talent. Cal is an average team, as it proved by getting pounded by an overrated Tennessee Volunteer squad 35-18.
The SEC continues to claim they beat up each other, in a conference that boasts “speed is all you need”. This conference has talented skilled position players, but couldn’t handle “smash mouth” football with the Buckeyes or Wolverines. I may be old fashion, but a track meet isn’t football.
USC, on the other hand, is a very talented football team. The only issue I have with them is their weak schedule. If you consider Arkansas and Notre Dame a challenge, you may want to check out their scores against real opponents. The Irish were embarrassed at home by Michigan in a game titled “The Irish are back”.
If a playoff system were in place this year, you would see a rematch of the Buckeyes and Wolverines in the National Championship.
