You can't depend on teams that don't have a good travelling fanbase to buy tickets and buy hotel rooms on short notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't depend on teams that don't have a good travelling fanbase to buy tickets and buy hotel rooms on short notice.I saw somebody make the point that since the Gator Bowl gets the loser of this game, some fans may see little reason in going all the way to Jacksonville twice in less than a month.For the record, I would want at least the 1st round to be played at the top seeds in any college football playoff. Maybe then take a week off for "finals", and then get through the other 3 rounds at either neutral sites, or at the top seed.

They're a proven draw. The loser probably goes to the Chick-Fil-A Bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 The ACC not selling those tickets just goes to show that those conference championship games are made-for-TV events.

I guarantee if it was FSU, Miami, Clemson, UNC, NC State, any other team the they'd have an easier time selling tickets. The ACC championship needs to be in a more regionally friendly stadium like Panther Stadium in Charlotte. Plainsman Parking Lot.

It'll look good to the totally uninformed, but the fact is theyre a gimmick offense without the talent who benefited from a powder puff schedule. TTU? meh, they'd certainly give some Big Ten schools trouble. Anyways, this Mizzou thing really isnt worth me arguing, because later tonight the proof will be there. Not even implying they get blown out, but OU is a lot more talented and big-game saavy, not to mention the matchups dont favor Mizzou. when you're replacing an old Carr, you need more than Les Miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footballfiji Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 What are OSUs Solid Victories?They played 4 teams that were ranked. None of those were ranked higher than 20 when they played them. Only 1 of those schools are still ranked. (Wisconsin) and 1 team joined the rankings (Illinois). So in the end, only 2 of the teams The Buckeyes played are top 25 caliber.They only played 6 bowl-eligible teams.What about Mizzou?They played 4 ranked teams. Two of those were ranked in the Top 10. 2 schools are still ranked (Kansas, Oklahoma) and 1 team joined the rankings (Illinois).The Tigers have played 6 bowl eligible teams.Looks pretty even to me.Oh and you forgot one thing. Mizzou beat tOSU's only loss. Plainsman Parking Lot. Auburn Baseball Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juddley Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'll preface (or discredit myself amongst some here) this all by saying that I'm a proud alum of THE Ohio State University. Missouri's win over the Jayhawks is an impressive one because they were able to win the turnover battle. The Tigers took two interceptions and converted them into 14 points, which really helped decide the game. That is impressive considering KU is the No. 1 team in the country on giveaway/takeaway ratio. As much I like Mizzou, history doesn't favor them in this contest. There have been four previous meetings between teams that played during the regular season in the Bix XII title game. The program that lost the first meeting went 1-3 in their rematch for the conference championship. Now I know that Tony Temple will be in the lineup for the Tigers, which will be huge. But some are complaining about DeMarco Murray not being available to Oklahoma. Murray's absense isn't a big deal since he wasn't a factor in the first meeting between the Sooners and Missouri. To be perfectly honest about the Buckeyes, I'd much rather be goingt to the Rose Bowl. It's a better matchup if we're to play with Southern Cal and we've not been there for a decade.

HappyBrownie13 Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Two things:What are OSUs Solid Victories?They (Ohio State) only played 6 bowl-eligible teams.The Tigers have played 6 bowl eligible teams. interesting wording...you sound like ESPN there. (in case you didnt see it, ESPN.com had a poll titled "If Ohio State goes to the National Championship, who's to blame?" no bias there...)Oh and you forgot one thing. Mizzou beat tOSU's only loss.No, I didn't forget that. I just didnt wanna play this card...West Virginia lost to USF who lost to Cincinnati who lost to Pittsburgh Missouri also lost to Oklahoma who lost to Colorado who lost to Iowa State who lost to Kent State who lost to Northern IllinoisSo...maybe we oughta throw Pitt and NIU into the national championship picture? Becuase through this it's pretty obvious Pitt will beat WVU and Northern Illinois could destroy Missouri.
