Well, I hate to break the bad news but Ohio State does play USC in 2008. If they win that game and run the table it would be difficult to keep them out, regardless of the last two BCS title game results (unless maybe there are 3 unbeaten major conf. teams).

I know OSU's OOC schedule sucked this year, but all I've heard out of some media honks lately is how they NEVER play anyone outside the Big 10. They nearly beat Texas in 2005 and did beat them on the road last year.

I'm by no means an Ohio State fan. In fact, Monday was the first time I had watched them for more than a few minutes. But the selective memory of the media is just comical sometimes.
