LSU was better and they won. My only point to my posts was pretty much if Robiskie doesn't drop the TD in the 2nd quarter and OSU goes up 17-10 the entire remainder of the game is played differently to some extent. My guess is LSU still wins...but it probably is a one score type game through the end rather than what happened. I am a big 10 homer...I went to Penn State...grew up in Ohio so I am partial to mainly those schools, and I simply think the "experts" are taking the "talent" differential between the leagues a bit too far. The SEC is better and the big 10 is down without question and may not even be a top 5 conference right now. But I look at my alma mater and see that PSU is 5-2 against the SEC in bowl games since 1990. How could that happen?? We never beat OHio State and they are 0-9 against the SEC in bowl games. IT really doesn't make too much sense. Michigan never beats OSU any more and they beat the great and speedy Gators this year...how does that happen??
I think it's more coincidence than anything. OSU has been far better than PSU in the big 10 the last 13 years with the exception of a couple years yet PSU has tremendous success against the SEC while OSU never beats the SEC. It's pretty much easy and popular to bash the big 10 so I tend to just take the opposite side and run with it no matter how stupid I look!!!
