Ohio State needs a certain type of win to lock it up. Namely anything under 21 points should ensure they don't go. They haven't played a remotely good defense this year, and while some will say Michigan State is #1, that's a by-product of the horrific Big 10 they play in. Notre Dame is the only sort of good team MSU has played, and they lost to them.

As I said before I would hope the fair examination of the teams total resumes, and more importantly the wins achieved, would make it obvious Auburn deserves to go if it wins out. 3 top ten wins, 2 not at home, 2 top 4 wins and the only loss to a top 15 school is substantially more impressive than undefeated beating and playing only 1 top 10 school, and only 2 ranked teams and one of those over a team who went on to lose 8 in a row. Seriously, that's their second most impressive win, a win over a team who didn't even finish over .500. Ohio State is Notre Dame redux. By OSU fans logic if Florida State loses Saturday and OSU wins, it should be Northern Illinois versus Ohio State in the NCG, if records trump resumes.

Is it OSU's fault the Big 10 sucks so bad? Nope, just as it wasn't Boise State's or TCU's fault they didn't get in for their similarly weak schedules. But the Big 10 does suck badly, and the irony of the school who's president mocked BSU and TCU as playing the "Little Sisters of the Poor" would be left out for playing the same "LSOTP" schedule is just too good. Go Sparty, please leave no doubt. Nobody wants a 55-14 NCG.
