Yes, clearly taking a far-better-regarded (and rated) UT team to the rack, losing to a last-second drive with some minor officiating help deserves this response.
The reality is that OSU was clearly the worst of the BCS teams, getting there primarily because the selection committee feared the ramifications of two mid-majors (and the resulting 1-6 Big Ten record is a result of having to move every team up one spot in a down year, as an aside). The fact that they came back to take UT to the wire actually speaks well of OSU, regardless of my personal distaste for Tressel's dipshit vest and probable cheating.
