Ohio State demolishes Tennessee, 42-17, and advances to the Rose Bowl to face top-seeded Oregon.
This was a weirdly entertaining weekend of college football, and, in typical college football fashion, it was because good teams looked bad. My personal rule of thumb when it comes to rooting interests in this sport is "pray for Ohio State to win, and then hope for the funniest/most entertaining possible outcome in every other game".
One addendum that Saturday might force me to add to this equation is "pray for Ohio State to win in such a manner that it makes every other team look like absolute ass in comparison", because it turns out that other blue bloods struggling to put away the likes of Wyoming and Bowling Green as the Buckeyes are blowing out some hapless out of conference foe by a billion points is actually even better than that.
