It's offical, Ohio St. is the SEC's Bitch

I have a true respect for Ohio St. football, but right now that is being challenged as once again they disappointed the Buckeye faithful by getting beat by another SEC team again. They stated out fine, Chris "Beanie" Wells had a 65 yard run and they went up 10-0 with a field goal. Thats when LSU woke up and came back with a 24-0 run to end the half. In the second half the tigers continued to pound away with long sustained drives and by the time it was 31-10 people were going out of the Superdome and heading to the parking lot. LSU ended up winning, but there is more to this than people think. Once again OSU disappoints and the Big Ten is blasted by the SEC again.
Jim Tressel, AKA "sweater vest" gave his team a dvd that had ten minutes of negative footage towards his team from the talking heads around the country Including me (Just kidding). They had a whole year to remember what happened last time they were in a national title game and do you know what they learned...NOTHING!!!!. The Big Ten should be embarssed by what they have become, ESPN's Kirk Herbstriet said that the Big 10, in the fans eyes is around the Conference USA/MAC level. I know that sounds far fetched but it might be true, here's how I see the top BCS conferences (1. SEC, 2. PAC 10, 3. Big 12, 4. ACC, 5. Big East, 6. Big 10). The Big 10 needs to look at themselves in the mirror and and think what do they need to do. Not just with Ohio St. but with the other ten teams in the 11 team conference. Here are some thing I have thought about...

1. Bring another team into the conference (i.e. Notre Dame, I know it's impossible but wortha shot)
2. Schedule tougher games across the board (No App. St, or Youngstown St.)
3. Play a conference championship game (Same thing for the Pac 10 and Big East)
4. Move out of the 20th century (People pass the ball now and they have things called recivers, know how to use one of these)

Thats the only advice I can give them...but since the season is over. Time to reveal my "Unoffical AP top 25 voting ballot"
