Yes...

I have no favorites, but after that call Miami should have won the game.

It seems like OSU was destined to win; I've never seen a team get so many breaks in one game. Truly bizarre, but fun to watch. I don't really mind that much, as I hate Miami as everyone should...

[Guynemer]

I hate 'em both. My rooting interest was for a meteor to crash into the field. Alas, it was not to be.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Ohio State played a great game, but I don't see how anyone cannot say that Miami was robbed! What pass interference?!

[DanS]

Miami wasn't robbed. None of the cameras had as good of angle as did the official on the field. He was right on top of it. Given this, you've got to admit that it could have gone either way.

[Imran Siddiqui]

No it couldn't have gone either way. The Miami player didn't have a hand on the guy after the ball was in the air. It was a bull**** call and a horrible call, perhaps the worst I've ever seen in a big game like that.

[DanS]

The angles I saw were awkward. Did you see any better ones? If not, I wonder where you get your conviction...

[Imran Siddiqui]

The angles showed it very well. I don't know how you get awkward. The angle that showed the play from the back of the players obviously showed that not a hand was on the Ohio State player, after the bump off the line, until the ball was already in the OSU player's hands. The announcers (which with these two are very conservative in challenging the officials) even clearly stated it.

[Jon Shafer]

I agree entirely Imran Siddiqui... you could see in plain site that the Miami defender didn't even touch him until after he bobbled the ball and it flew off away from them both... a horrible call... I'd hate to be that ref and know that you cost Miami a game like that.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Oh btw, just heard the ROSE BOWL had its LOWEST attendance since 1944! Why? Because the BC(f'ing)S took away Big-10 v. Pac-10 in the that game.

Damn BCS .

(If the traditional Rose Bowl was kept, we'd see USC v. Oklahoma! What a much better game than the two we saw!)

[Ming]

Well... I can't argue with the BCS, THIS YEAR...

What a great game. Defense won the game for OSU. A salute to the CHAMPIONS... the Big 10 They were underated all year, and in the end, proved just how tough of a conference it was.

Unlike the big 12

It wouldn't have been a better game. Oklahoma would've beat USC just as badly. Washington State did beat USC, remember?

Unlike the big 12

The Big 12 finished 5-3 in the bowls, Ming. Big Ten finished 5-2. Not a big difference there.

[Ming]

Uhhh... the Big 12 doesn't have the NATIONAL CHAMPION... a Big Difference.

In comparison, the Big 12 SUCKS

[Imran Siddiqui]

It wouldn't have been a better game. Oklahoma would've beat USC just as badly. Washington State did beat USC, remember?

You just keep believing that. I guess that means that you believe that in the NFL the Houston Texans would have beaten the Philadelphia Eagles because the Eagles lost to the New York Giants who lost to the Texans!

Dumb statements like that are why BCS Apologists have such little respect with the rest of the sports fans.

USC is arguably the best offense in the game right now, and Oklahoma is one of the best defenses in the game right now. It would have been amazing. Washington State of early season and now are much different. Same with USC of early season and now. In fact, I wonder if Oklahoma would be able to stop USC. I doubt it.

You obviously weren't smart enough to see that I was mocking you and your bald faced assertions about the quality of USC...
