Nuts and Bolts, Nuts and Bolts, Spartans Got Screwed

Michigan St. not going to the Rose bowl, or a BCS game for that matter, is a complete injustice to a near
perfect season for the Spartans.  We all know Wisconsin and Ohio State will be in BCS games based on the hype that surrounds their programs.  I have no problem with Wisconsin in a BCS game, but Ohio St.????  Get Real!

First off, because of the 3 way tie, head to head can not be used.  Correct?  That is what we are told anyways.  Remember two years ago when Texas Tech beat Texas, Texas beat Oklahoma, and Oklahoma beat Texas Tech?  Well yeah, you can not use head to head since all three teams beat each other. 

However, this years Big 10 race is completely different.  Why?  Because Michigan St. and Ohio St. did not play each other.  Two years ago Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech were all 1-1 against each other.  This year Michigan St. is 1-0, Wisconsin 1-1, and Ohio St. 1-1 when all three go head to head.  Shouldn't Michigan St.  be the team going to Pasadena?  I think so!

Why is Michigan St. not going to the Rose Bowl?  The answer is rather simple.  They lost later than Wisconsin and Ohio St.  Wisconsin lost on October 2nd, Ohio St. on October 16th, and Michigan St. on October 30th.  So reality is that those two teams will be in BCS games because they lost before Michigan St.  So, had The Michigan St. Iowa game been played in September, Michigan St. would be in the Rose Bowl for sure!

And then there is the schedule.  Ohio St. has ZERO, yes ZERO wins vs. current top 25 teams.  Why do they deserve a BCS bid?  Hell, Boise has wins over 2 top 25 teams.  Oh yeah, I almost forgot that Ohio St. played murder's row! 

In short, Ohio St. does not belong in a BCS game, especially not over Michigan St.!  WHy are voters in football polls all over the country deciding the fate of the Big 10 BCS games?
