ok, so this from the columbu dispatch.....Ohio State players jumped for joy last night, yelling as yet another higher-ranked team lost and gave the Buckeyes a spot in the national championship game.
About 75 Buckeyes players and most of the coaching staff gathered in the Woody Hayes Athletic Center to watch top-ranked Missouri meet Oklahoma and No. 2 West Virginia play Pittsburgh.
When Pittsburgh finished off its shocking 13-9 upset, the party began.
"Everybody was going crazy," fullback Tyler Whaley said. "Coach (Jim) Tressel got a little smile on his face. He wasn't jumping around, he didn't show us his vertical (leap), but I've been around him enough to know he was a happy man."
Ohio State is likely headed for its third national title game appearance in six years. On Jan. 7 in New Orleans, No. 3 Ohio State (11-1) should get a chance at redemption for an embarrassing loss to Florida in last year's championship game.
MM notes:....the web page was topped by a counter.....the number of days since michigan beat osu...it is now up to 1471......MM's own MM contends that OSU would rather go to the Rose Bowl, and has no interest in the BSC.....doesn't look that way now that they are in......
