Does playing OSU/Michigan help that? absolutely - but only if the score is respectable, IMO. I can live with losing 35-21 to Michigan. I'd have to think that so can Big 12 presidents. I guess my point is... we should aim to play the ohio state's of the world as soon as possible. we need to push upward in our opponent caliber. But until we are confident the game will be competitive, we should steer clear and try our best to find the money elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
