The BCS bowl games will be fully set on Sunday night and there are already a number of teams in and one now that will be looking for a new bowl game is Ohio State, as they lost to the Michigan State Spartans in the Big Ten championship game and after Auburn defeated Missouri in the SEC championship in impressive fashion, it looks like the Tigers will take on the Florida State Seminoles in the BCS national championship game.
The Spartans came into the game with one of the best defenses in the nation, while Ohio State was coming in after their closest win of the season and now the team has lost its first game in two years after going undefeated last season. The Buckeyes started off the game slow and couldn't get anything going against the Ohio State Buckeyes and now that opens the door in the BCS. The team team was able to hold back the 24 game winning streak for OSU and they held Carlos Hyde and Braxton Miller back with their fantastic defense and now Florida State and Auburn likely will be in the national championship game.
The Florida State Seminoles defeated Duke in a huge blowout in the ACC championship game and after the Tigers won the SEC championship game, they were guaranteed a big BCS bowl and now with Michigan State going to the Rose Bowl against Stanford, Ohio State will be stuck in another bowl with Auburn going to the national championship game. That opens Alabama to play in a big game as well with the Tigers going to the national championship and that is like an alternate national championship game. UCF is already into the Orange Bowl and Stanford now will match up with Michigan State in the Rose Bowl and the Spartans go into that game for the first time in years.
Michigan State was ranked in the top three in total defense, rush defense and points allowed in the entire nation and that came through for the Spartans and Ohio State couldn't do anything and now Jameis Winston will be facing off against a crazy Auburn team that runs the ball better than anyone in the nation and were impressive on Saturday. Connor Cook played very well against the Ohio State defense for Michigan State and now the BCS will get shaken up as the Buckeyes lose and the miracle Tigers are in the national championship picture after many picked the team to finish in the bottom of the SEC and looking at their miracle win over Georgia as well as their amazing win over Alabama in the Iron Bowl makes them the team of destiny and now they have a matchup in the BCS national championship game looming in the Rose Bowl in Pasadena in January.
