Well last night show them who was the lesser team. Ohio's bowl record against SEC teams is now 0-8. Maybe they ned to stay up north.

I have said this a million times to everyone. The SEC is the toughest conference in college football. Notre Dame, Michigan and Ohio State are all media darlings (probably in that order) with USC being the newest since they all want to push the whole expansion deal with the NFL back to L.A. These teams play NO ONE year in and year out. Just look at their schedules.
The two best teams that Ohio State played was Michigan and Texas and look where they ended up. Michigan lost to USC badly who was a team that lost to two unranked teams. Notre Dame got slaughtered by Michigan, USC and LSU (yet another SEC team).The Gators one and only loss (to Auburn) was a hose job in all honesty when you look at that awful call the refs made against Leak and the fumble when clearly it was an incomplete pass.
As far as playing a lesser team, what do you expect one of their fans to say?! You are talking about the only group of people on the planet that didn't see the wad of hundreds stuffed in referee Terry Porter's shirt pocket to throw that flag in the Fiesta Bowl back in '02. No one on the planet saw them win that game and yes, as a Hurricane I am still bitter as hell!!!! The funny thing is they have convinced themselves they actually won and deserved it. I traveled to all of the neighboring states such as Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, etc. and all have said the same thing....."they didn't win that game and that was the worse call I had ever seen!" So I know that I'm not going crazy.
So screw 'em! The Gators wanted it, they deserve it and I'm glad they obliterated the media darlings once and for all.
Home state: Go Gators!!!!!!!!!!!!!
