That was one of the best games I've ever watched. It was a shame it had to end with a winner and a looser. Congrats to Ohio State. I was born in Dayton Ohio.
It was a great game. I am truly astonished that OSU had such a solid defense! I wish the refs would not have ruined the end though. I am neither a Miami, nor an OSU fan, but those two pass interferance calls in OT1 (resulting in 1st and goal for OSU) and in OT2 (resulting in 1st and goal for Miami) were WAY too close to call and the refs really became the focus of the game.
Regardless, a great game by OSU. It is funny how D wins games. The OSU offense was horrible, but Miami still could not overcome the awesome OSU D.
It was a big win for the Big Ten. Remember all the crap the Big Ten took early in the year? Remember the “do or die” week just before conference play started?
As it turned out 4 of the 15 BCS ranked teams were from the Big Ten. Seven of the Big Ten teams made it to bowl games. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Purdue, and Michigan all won their bowl games. Penn State lost a close one to Auburn. Overrated Iowa lost to a very good USC team. And Ohio State won the national championship.
All in all I think the Big Ten proved a lot of doubters wrong.
