"Ohio State fans should root for every Big Ten team this bowl season, including That Team Up North."
This bold statement from the Christmas Eve op-ed by Good Guy David Regimbal was earnest and meant well. His take is wrapped in the frustrating sadness of Ohio State winning its conference for the second straight year yet landing on the outside of the College Football Playoff field, also for the second straight year.
I get it. Sadness sends us off in search of answers. We want justice. We need solutions.
But if only the B1G had the same national respect as the SEC it would be playing this weekend in Miami or Arlington instead of next year in Pasadena ain't it.
