That would've been the real national championship

They wouldn’t have beaten FSU but that Michigan state team was excellent

They probably could have beat Florida State with that D and the offense wasn't bad either

If it wasn't for those 3 phantom PI calls against ND they would have had a shot at it all.

@@saidhabbas5330 People would've also said Oklahoma couldn't beat Bama this year and they beat the shit out of them in the Sugar Bowl. Never really know until the game is played, but FSU won the ship and we didn't.

Not any more. Payton Thorne.

@Tom Koyzis you think he’s even close to cook? That’s laughable.

Connor as a sophomore was no where as good as Thorne is at the same point.

Yes but now keneth walker is way better

@@MiamiSpartan1 lol thorne carved up osu in the big ten championship game? horrible take i like thorne but cook is a spartan football legend.

He is 50-4 before the 2016 season starts

+TheBaconGamer - Gaming Videos Yes. 2 losses to MSU, plus 1 to VT and 1 to Clemson. VT and Clemson were not in Big Ten play

+John Juhasz Didn't see that

not anymore

also lost to James Franklin

I'm here in 2023 not feeling that great about MSU

Ya this game made me more happy that day than Auburn’s SEC Championship win against #5 Missouri

@@RockSmithStudio Thanks to the Spartans getting their first Big Ten Crown since 1987 and the trip to the Rose Bowl since 1988, and their 1st Win against Ohio State since 1998 and 1999.

At what? Man that FSU was the most dominant team in modern history. Not an opinion. That's a statistical fact. They avg margin of victory was 39.5. Highest since 1947 army. Nobody was beating them.

79steelymatt 😂😂😂

This did not age well

They were a playoff contender this past season-and are looking to be in the future.

@@walshdog61 I highly respect your username. That wraps up the fan base in a nutshell. Myself included. Go green!

@@upbeatproductions7614lol

I just love watching scUM having a 5 loss season and then barely beat NORTHWESTERN. See you clowns in 3 weeks!

at least OSU can make it to a Big 10 Championship game. Michigan hasn't finished higher then 3rd in there own division in how long?

How about them, Badgers, hey?!

Now it’s 8 years!

No we scored in the OSU end zone on Mumphrey's and Lippett's touchdowns.

Me too.

lupinvash3 I don't know why I can remember it so well, but I was playing Batman Arkham Origins almost all day haha

Rainbowlo.12 me to

No problem 😂

Joshua Riston Connor Cook went on to be a trash qb in the NFL haha

​@@MatthewHackettcause of the injury hee sufferes his senior year against Maryland. No one could've predicted that

ima buckeye i came here just to watch a game not to hate

Chris Billz I was referring to the majority.

***** Its almost like a domino effect. Spartans are reacting to Buckeye comments and vise versa. I use the general definition of "Hater", not my own. I've lived in Columbus before and can honestly say that Columbus, as well as the rest of Ohio, are extremely arrogant and sore losing fans. Thats not to say that everyone in Ohio is like that though.

OmegaTheGOD Don't kid yourself, Omega. They're sore WINNING fans too.

OmegaTheGOD I agree with that. I'm from Ohio and my entire family didn't want to say a word to me after the Buckeyes lost. Michigan St. did the nation a favor because nobody wanted to see OSU get slaughtered by FSU for the title.

Looking forward to August 30, BTW!

Now we've got 49-37 to show for it. Have fun watching OSU play somebody else in the Big Ten championship game this year.

Woohoo BUCKS ALL DA WAY BABY! 2014

I fell asleep during the middle of it.

Mik Jong Soo so you're a fair weather fan then...

msherwood69 I'm not a fan of either MSU of OSU.

What do you think the outcome is for the USC-Fresno State Bowl Game?

OSU is overrated

Nathan Ellison Really? 49-37.

Nathan Ellison ahh what happened bro ?

MSU is overrated...How does it feel to lose to both teams that played in the National Championship by double digits one of which was at home. Amazing a tough opponent comes along in your schedule and you choke

Jealous?

They changed the divisions

In 2011-2013 they had 2 different divisions called Legends and Leaders. These divisions did not care about Geography at all, so OSU and MSU happened to be in different divisions despite both being on the east side. In 2014, Maryland and Rutgers were added to the conference and the B1G decided to create the east and west divisions that exist today.

I wish it was sat November 8 to I am hoping ohio state wins this year but I hope every big 10 team wins there bowl games so the big 10 could get back to the days of old as the most dominating conference in the country

Residents of Suplex City fr

Matthew Thats a huge lie

Chris, that poor display of defense is what kept yall out the title game. I'm from Ohio, but I can't stand tOSU. Out of all the teams I've witnessed over the years, this years Buckeyes defense had to be the worst I'd have ever seen. Whoever calls the plays on D must go!

I don't even think its coaching thats the problem.. all year silly mistakes from DBs, whether they were a freshman or a senior - cost us so many points, and this game. Roby was supposed to step up and be a leader. We had lots of depth, but not much real experience. 2 Senior safeties, one who broke his ankle halfway through the season, were our leaders. Roby needed to step up as a junior but failed to do so as a coverage CB. Next year I feel will be much better, especially if Ryan Shazier stays.

Valid points. But isn't it the coaches job to put their players in the best positions to make plays regardless of them being freshman, or Seniors? That's their job to begin with, right and what's the point of practicing, and preparing all week for games if you're going to play as poor as they did? I'm interested to see what you guys can do against Clemson. #2 Sammy Watkins is a guy to watch out for. He's hard to slow down if he gets into open field.

I don't think it'll be as bad as some are making it out to be. Roby can play aggressive and jam pretty well, and as long as there is a deep safety(something we have done pretty well when the safety is in a good position) it won't be easy to make completions. I wanna see Jameis Winston go off on Auburn's defense!

It should be a good game. I can't wait, either! I'm ready to see FSU shut up all these SEC homers, and fan boys! Jameis is going light up their D! Auburn doesn't have anybody that can match up with our man child at WR Kelvin Benjamin. I'm so excited for this game, man. One more week!

Lopido add a national title and fiesta bowl to that now

Oh have things changed. Haha

Actually Jim Tressell gave Mark Dantonio his first real coaching job(defensive coordinator) at Youngstown State in 1986-he was a graduate assistant at Ohio,Purdue,Butler CC,Ohio State and a DB coach at Akron in 1985(my uncle played for him there)Tressell then made him DC at YSU in 1986.I don't now where you have this theory about top recruits not mattering-I disagree,it doesn't guarantee success but it doesn't hurt them either.For further proof of this look at Phil Steele's website and he breaks down high school recruits ratings after those individuals have been drafted into the NFL and the facts don't match up with your points.I think a lot of HS kids burn out when they reach the big time programs because there are just as many talented kids as them who are just as big and fast as them.Who do you think you guys are going to get as your new coach?

@79steelymatt. First off I'm a Bama fan not a Spartan fan. I was merely referring to the fact that oswho was not as good as they thought they were. And I always keep it in proper perspective.

They lost this game cuz the coaching staff stopped giving Hyde the ball. Instead, they tried to win it with Braxton!

That's why they should go to an 8 team playoff instead of 4. It's just too difficult to figure out the best teams in a 12-13 game season. The over looked teams will beat the overrated teams.

Exactly. But at least Ohio State lost- they should thank michigan state for saving them the embarrassment in playing Florida State in the BCS Championship. It would of been like last year. ND got raped and everyone knew that would happen before the game. No surprises. Thank god this is the last year of this shitty system. I was not a fan at all and always put college football on the back burner of sports. It was impossible for teams that were good to play the best, since schedules are already made out, that's why you see the same schools constantly play in the championship and other bcs bowl games. Those schools that are not super well-known would of been impossible to make it far, even if they were a "bcs buster". Hopefully in the playoff system, we'll see programs that will finally make names for themselves, like what University of Miami did in the 80s.

and they did

can't believe this comment is 7 years old

I don't! GO GREEN!

except, I would say Stanford was still a little overrated. I mean, didn't they lose to Utah during the regular season? That's just my opinion.

University of Overrated.
