Is the college football world being to hard on the guys from Columbus? Go ahead, mention scores and stats. Talk about bowl games. We can discuss the dominance of the SEC. It is a little difficult to grasp all this talk when the past is so easy to forget. The Buckeyes lose by a huge margin against the Florida Gators in the 2007 BCS Championship Game and then lose by 14 to the LSU Tigers in the 2008 version. Now, the past also shows a similar picture. Didn't the Sooners from Oklahoma get pasted by Southern Cal in the 2005 Orange Bowl? Something to the tune of 55 to 19. I believe that LSU beat the Sooners the season before that in the Sugar Bowl. Why isn't this being talked about? In my opinion the Sooners should never play in a BCS Championship Game again. But they could be this season. Also, we are talking about the Buckeyes being 0 and 9 against the SEC in bowl games. Virginia Tech has not won back to back bowl games ever. The ACC has not won a BCS bowl game since 2000. Even the mighty Trojans lost to Utah in a bowl game in 2001 and that was with Pete Carroll coaching. I mean, we are going back to 1978 to say that Ohio State has never beaten an SEC team in a bowl game. So, now these 9 games over a 30 year span matter more than the other 1,100 that they have played. I am fully aware of the SEC's dominance in college football. Well, we can learn a little more history. An SEC team lost to Michigan in a bowl game in 2008. The defending national champs lost to a team that Ohio State defeated. That same team lost to Appalachian State. Ohio State traveled to Texas in 2006 and beat the Longhorns. When was the last time Florida traveled away and faced a worthy out of conference opponent? Probably the Miami Hurricanes in 2003. Oh yeah, the Gators lost. bleacherreport 7/16/08
