MSU only has one championship and it was in 1952? That's a LONG time ago.

it's been a while since i've read a "Buckeye math" thread... those ones where their fans select a criteria that puts them ahead of Michigan, then declare that is the most important measure of football success (not, you know, winning games...)

used to see these a lot more regularly on the ol' espn boards.

"Well, sure Michigan has more wins, but if you eliminate the periods of time where they had more success than Ohio State, you'll see Ohio State has more wins and is therefore a better program.

No I've never heard of this "logic" you speak of. Is it something I should see a doctor about?"

I think the AP was the source of that "all time top 25 poll"

Correct. That is why MSU's title from 1965 was left off, since it was a Coaches Poll title.

Yes, Champ's beef is with the AP.

The only Red I wear is Red Wing red. All other red clothing should be destroyed !!!!!!

 

[Michchamp]

naw, I'm okay with the AP... just not surprised we're reading about this in Eleven Warriors, in a thread posted by an Ohio State fan/slappie.

next tell us about Michigan's losing record to Ohio State... once you exclude the first... oh say 20 years of the rivalry...

 

[jwlcosu]

Slappie? For pointing out the historical accomplishment of seven B1G squads?

eh FWIW, We should have 3, and ND should only have 7. look up the 1947 college football season. we played a tougher SOS than Notre Dame, beat common opponents more thoroughly and handed USC its worse-ever defeat, 49-0 in the Rose Bowl.

also, college football has been played since 1879, you understand, and the AP Poll has only been around since 1934. maybe... aw nevermind.
