*** SUGAR BOWL ***

NO disrespect Badland but Ohio States d outside of wisconsin hasn't faced a real Offense with balance. The big ten is wayyyy over rated.

First off, badlands, I have much respect for you and you are one of only three cappers here of whose plays I will routinely check.

But yeah, I agree. Not only did Saturday show how weak the big 10 is, but it showed just how much better the SEC is. It wasnt just a bad day for the big 10. That was easily the worst college bowl day for any conference in the history of college football (0-5) with all the beat downs handed out by SEC teams.

I had this game at a pick ‘em so I will glady take the points and the fact that Ohio State sucks against the SEC. Every year Ohio State plays an SEC team so many people say that stat doesn’t matter and this is the year Ohio State finally beats an SEC team. That was back when the stat was 0-6. It is now 0-9.

Best of luck tonight badlands. I expect a close game possibly decided by a 4th quarter turnover.

so i guess you think tcu and boise state suck also since they play no one and their conferences are awful? didnt utah beat bama in this game a few years ago? i personally could care less about grouping teams in conferences... i take team A and i take team B and i match them up. i dont care what happened when ohio state played  bama in 1972 when i wasnt born.  sure the big 10 sucks but thats not ohio states fault just like i believe boise and tcu can play with anyone even though they play in shitty conferences.  v tech had been MONEY as a dog throughout beemers career...that didnt help them last night when they were getting steamrolled ... gl bud we all cap games differently there is no right and wrong way

179-149

OHIO STATE BUCKEYES  -3

OHIO STATE/ARKANSAS OVER 56.5

arkansas has faced 3 duel threat qb's this year.  cam was 10/14 passing and ran for 188 yards on them, relf threw for 225 and ran for another 100, and massoli passed for 327 and ran for another 100.  so there is no reason not to expect the same from pryor tonight.  i dont think ohio state will completely shut down arkansas like tech was last night. ohio state plays in a run first conference and they played 8 of their 12 games at home..one of the biggest home field advantages in college football.  facing this arky offense in a dome is much different, but with these offenses probably being a wash tonight i still think ohio state has the better d in the end. and yes i realize the big 10 has been shitty in bowl games but ohio state has beaten all of those teams..except at wisconsin..no shame there...its not as if ohio state was losing to these teams.  ohio state 34 arkansas 27

Lets just say I have a source that gave me the Tatoogate story a full week before it broke and lets just say I went extra large on Ark+4-120 expecting a gigantic middle. Soruce was good, worth the risk, but players not suspended. Sob story I know. Lucky I am making this all up

Reason I am telling you this is I backed all the way out at osu -3 -110 and for good reason. Said source said win or lose buckeyes will show up. Team has a us vs world mentality from media bashing them and the showing of the conference and past SEC record. 

A team that has done this BCS thing several years in a row with all eggs in one basket and after losing favorite coach on staff to Kent St  vs a team that hasn't been to a BCS is a betting disastor but effort and motivation a plus for Ark going in is now nuetralized. No ifs ands or buts. Tattoo gate has actually helped OSU backers.

Oh by the way....shootout tonight! Hopefully it lands on 4!
