<![CDATA[Buckeyes Do get a BCS Game]]>Breaking News: MSU source: Spartans preparing for Cap One

Mickey and Minnie Mouse will get introduced to Sparty, not Brutus Buckeye, according to a source at Michigan State.

A source within the MSU football program said the Spartans are preparing for the Capital One Bowl, presumably for a game against Georgia.

The source said MSU coach Mark Dantonio told his staff they would receive an invitation to the Capital One Bowl on Sunday and would accept it.

A spokesman for Florida Citrus Sports, which oversees the Champs Sports and Capital One Bowls, said no invites have been issued and formal invites will not be made until Sunday.

An MSU spokesman denied any invitation for the team.

"We don't anticipate an official bowl offer and announcement until Sunday, Dec. 7," the spokesman said in an e-mail. The spokesman did not confirm or deny coach Dantonio's statements to his staff.

If Michigan State (9-3, 6-2), the Big Ten's third-place team, is planning for a trip to Orlando, it would mean a BCS bowl is in Ohio State's future.

Representatives for both the Fiesta and Sugar Bowls said Ohio State is a team being considered by their committees.

Ohio State (10-2, 7-1) is a co-Big Ten Champion along with Penn State (11-1, 7-1), but the Nittany Lions are the conference's representative in the Rose Bowl, having defeated the Buckeyes.

OSU is currently ranked 10th in the BCS standings, one spot behind undefeated Boise State (12-0).

Many speculate that the Broncos are Ohio State's top competition for a BCS at-large selection on Sunday, along with Ball State.

Conference championships in the SEC, ACC and Big 12 are Saturday and will determine three of the automatic BCS bids.

Big Ten champion Penn State, Big East champion Cincinnati and the Pac 10 champions, (USC currently leads the Pac 10), are the other automatic bids to BCS bowls.

Utah is also an automatic bid because they have the highest BCS ranking from a non-BCS conference and are ranked ahead of a BCS conference champion.

The second 2008 BCS Commissioner Team Selection call will be held today.

After the second call, a press release will be distributed naming the teams held for possible selection to this year's BCS bowl games and the BCS National Championship.

What I have heard from a friend with actual ties to the Sugar Bowl is the Sugar is working to keep Utah out and keep them out west in the Fiesta and work to invite OSU to the Sugar Bowl to play the loser of the Fla/Alabama game this weekend.

OSU can expect to play in the Sugar.

OSU will beat teh shibt out of Texas.

I believe that they are not giving Cribbs more touches because they don't want to have to pay him more. He's already going to ask for more money. Having him throwing it, running it, returning it, receiving it and tackling it sounds like ching, ching, ching, ching and ching at the negotiating table.

Could be true, with the season already lost. I would like to think the organization is more concerned with putting a quality product on the field than they are with potential pay raises to those who actually accomplish that. Remember, I said I would LIKE to think that.

And 3 yards and a pile of bodies leaves you with the punt team on the field. 😉

I would rather take my shots with Cribbs in a patched together O.

This O didn't work with DA at QB...Quinn at QB..and now Dorsey.

Might as well mix it up heading home, and then figure out what went so wrong this year.

I disagree.

Florida runs it and the SEC has some fast defensive teams. Ohio State wasn't a slow defense 2 years ago.

What it does is give the offense more options....and more options is harder to defend. It also creates space....and space is what any offense tries to create.

yes that is true but your O-Line needs to built for that type of a game plan, and we at the present are more suited to run it down the gut, 3 yards and a pile of bodies! usally OC's use the spread because there OL is smaller and not as strong as the opposing defenses they will face. same as zone blocking.

They weren't fast either. Their front 7 is where they got beat, especially the LB's in coverage. Ohio State is going to have a long day if they cannot get to McCoy.

well Tressel will have to keep an extra TE in there to help Block the outside. Which was a mistake when they played FLorida we didnt have a TE on that stupid run and shoot spread offense.

I hate the spread it only works against slower defenses.

He reminds me a lot of Julian Peterson. If he declares for the draft, he should be selected in the late Round 1/early Round 2 area.

and dont forget this guy... James Laurinaitis Ohio State LB

How could you forget about him? He was better as a soph than his jr and sr years, and, well, he is the only person beside Ray Lewis to get credit for 1.76 tackles when he touches a guy after he is down, and he gets 3.12 tackles for every tackle he actually makes.
