I really just can't see them dropping down to the #8 selection from the B1G. They have too large of a fanbase that is too enticing for the bowls with higher selections.  The absolute lowest I can see them going is #6 after Michigan State, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Penn State.  Iowa would probably go next, leaving Northwestern, Illinois and Purdue (assuming they beat an awful Indiana team this week) as possible selections for the Pizza Bowl.  My guess is the Wildcats get taken next. I think Dan Persa makes them the most desirable of those remaining teams.

I was just thinking the same thing.

AP is reporting that Ohio State will accept a bowl bid if offered, unlike Miami(Fla) which to hopefully soften their NCAA beatdown, they are removing themselves from any bowl consideration this year.

I suppose Gorden Geek and Gene Smith are holding out hope that IF the Buckeyes beat Michigan Saturday, OSU will be given consideration for the National Championship game. I truly think those 2 are that delusional and egotistical.

I thought OHIO STATE were THE national champions every year...no matter what their record?!?!?!?!? 

They dont even have to go to a bowl game..., from what I have heard, thats just the way God intended it.....

Speaking of Woody, before the Penn State loss, some of the projections had O$U going to the Gator Bowl for the first time since the Clemson game.
