"Impressive" Loss Raises BCS Questions

I'll be honest--Ohio State beat itself against Penn State in a pretty impressive performance.

Despite the terrible coaching, the team played hard and had the game in the bag until Pryor fumbled. Penn State is a quality team, and I see them going on to play Texas for the BCS Championship. The defense was aggressive, and Pryor, despite the late fumble, was equally impressive.

So scratch two goals off of Ohio State's wish list: The National Championship and The Big Ten Championship. Still, two goals of beating Michigan and making it to a BCS bowl are still alive.

So which BCS bowl is possible for the Buckeyes? I'd say either the Rose Bowl (although if USC is in it, the Rose Bowl will take someone else to avoid a rematch) or the Sugar Bowl. The latter is the more likely bowl.

And that bowl game will probably be played against--you guessed it--a team from the SEC (most likely, Florida). So, those of you who are waiting for Ohio State to get revenge on the Gators had better hope the Buckeyes run the table and go 10-2.
