Football hypothetical question

[Sbee]

Would you have rather beaten nd and lost by two td's in the title game or lost early to nd and won the rose bowl? In both scenarios we end up ranked #3.

Interested in the responses

Beaten ND.

I'd take the rose for historical significance and the offseason mmomentum, also the excitement for the alumni to go to a bowl win. There is a lot of national significance to the title game though, would have been the first big ten team in a long time

I know it's hypothetical but there is no way on hell any team in the country would be state by 2 TDs.

I would prefer losing to ND and winning rose bowl. It's incredible how much preseason rankings screwed msu. If they we ranked 10 in the first week they would have had a much higher chance of going to the national championship.

You start out unranked if you go 7-6, of course that shouldn't play into 2013 rankings but it did. Hell, if we wouldn't have been flagged for bs pi calls or called for the rj shelton pass it might be a different story. Of course we wouldn't have had to habdle success, maybe we would have lost another game if we beat nd

Rose Bowl Win. Im still salty at the 3 pass interference calls at ND.

Not being an SEC team screwed them. Auburn started the season unranked too. Heck if MSU was ranked higher earlier pollsters would have probably still had Auburn jump them after they beat Alabama.

that would have made for a much more hyped big ten title game

I hate losing to ND and that incompetent assclown Brian Kelly. That said, I've never put much stock in the NC and the RB was easily the best sports spectator experience of my life so I'm content.

I also say RB for selfish reasons, outside of the typical family stuff it was one of the best days of my life.

as for best spectator experiences, I'm torn between the Rose Bowl and 2000 NC game, both were great. I also put the Uconn game in 2009 up there, hard to top that experience even though it wasn't for the title.

I wasn't at the NC game - I had bought a house less than a year before and had just quit my job to go to b-school so I couldn't justify spending $600 for the ticket. I watched the UConn game at a bar in Santa Monica with my wife, brother and a few friends. Place was filled with Jayhawkers - they were just in shock. It was priceless.

In 2000 I lived in Chicago, broke as all hell, got free tix through a family member. my wife (gf at the time) left work at 2, drove to Indy, watched the game, nets being cut down, drove back after the game, got home at 4am, was at my desk by 8 the next day. i had nosebleeds but some friends were close and there were two empty seats by them, i watched the second half in the 10th row by the tunnel mateen limped out.

hard to top that
