We won, you lost. This is a national issue, and we are going to settle it dispassionately and methodically.

I am a Buckeye. That is never going to change. And Ohio won the college football championship. Any fool can see the score does not reflect who is better. Point one, Alabama was targeted. So why not Ohio? Well, you do not have an answer for that because there is no answer.

Next, Ohio's state motto is: "With God All Things Are Possible." Can you deny the possibilities that God can bring to a football game? The two teams were tied in the first quarter. It is only after someone added three quarters that Alabama was able to steal the contest.

If you are still in denial; Alabama Coach Nick Sabin is making twice the money as Coach Ryan Day. So, Sabin has twice the money. And look at the division Alabama is in: the Southeastern Conference, Western division. See the contradiction? Something funny there!

Finally, the officials were in collusion. It is as simple as that. Why won't anyone listen? Ohio won. If you are not willing to admit that I know some people who are going to get together at NCAA headquarters and change things.
