yea, florida gators, now there is a powerhouse
You know ctown, if you weren't such an obvious homer, and if you had some decent insight into gambling, more people than just the OSU faithful on this forum might have some respect for you and your comments.
Let me set you straight.
Since 1990:
- Ohio State has 3 conference championships. All three are co-championships. Florida has 6. Each won in a championship game. On the field.
- Ohio State has 0 national championships. Florida has 1.
- Ohio State in bowl games, 3-8. Florida is 6-5.
- Ohio State has 4 seasons of at least 10 wins. Florida has 9.
Sportsline shows that Ohio State has 36 former players on NFL rosters. Florida has 46.
Now, Ohio State does have a higher all time win %, but UF has played 1000+ less games. OSU also has more total championship - I won't deny that.
But clownguy, I'm sorry if you can't see through your rose bowl-colored glasses to recognize that Florida has a great program. There are about 15 programs in the nation that can say that - and you and I happen to follow 2 of them. At least I can admit that Ohio State has a great program, and I give them credit for being undefeated. 115 teams in 1-A cannot say that.
But when you make statements proclaiming OSU will be the only undefeated team (and nat'l champs) when you still have a game to play against your arch rival - the same rival that has ruined your last 2 undefeated seasons - well, that's a bit risky. I hope you enjoy the season the Buckeyes are having. If they lose to Michigan, or if they lose their bowl game, I expect to see you back here to eat crow and take it like a man.
