The B1G might be even more of a punchline nationally after this bowl season, as if that is possible.  Also do not like playing Johnny Football, and a team that beat Alabama.

For some reason I feel like the Capital One Bowl pics an SEC east team if two SEC schools make BCS and Cotton Bowl take the next SEC west school in line. I may be wrong though. Maybe they get free will for any SEC school if two make it to BCS. I'd rather play A&M than Georgia, Bama or Florida though.

The bowls are not at all concerned with divisions. They are affiliated with conferences and will pick the best team available (not necessarily in terms of record) from that conference, regardless of division.

First year I am considering cheering for everyone in the B1G to lose, other than Michigan of course.

Why? Because it will only make ohio's record/schedule look weaker, and will hurt them in any ranking systems that take strength of schedule into consideration. I really do not want any ranking service listing them as #1.

With the stipulation that you're leaving out Michigan, Nebraska seems like OSU only "quality" (sort of) win that migh move the needle slightly if they lose.  And even then, probably not much.  I don't thiink having the B1G get near skunked would be long run good for us.

I think we would have our hands extremely full against either Florida or LSU. Our D would keep it close but I don't see us moving the ball much/at all against the top tier teams (see Bama, ND).
