It's unbelievable, but the college football season is just around the corner. And in celebration of how outstandingly terrible everyone's favorite school was, here's a flashback to an article from the end of the season last year.

Flashback from the Cubs Brickyard: (South Bend, IN) - After stunning season-ending losses by first-ranked Missouri, and second-ranked West Virginia - the former to a solid Oklahoma team, the latter to a middle school girls rugby team - voters in the Coaches Poll and the Harris Poll were charged with the difficult task of determining what two teams were most deserving to take their places. The two polls, along with a computer poll average, are ultimately used to determine the top two teams - the teams that will compete in New Orleans for the BCS National Championship.

For voters, the first choice was simple: The Ohio State Buckeyes. In addition to only losing once - to an Illinois team that barely lost at home at night to a Michigan team without its starting quarterback or running back, which had itself managed to come within a blocked field goal of defeating last year's [I-AA] national champion - the Buckeyes' resume includes impressive victories over fierce in-state rivals Akron and Youngstown State, and a season full of the kind of grinding, methodical offensive performances fans nationwide love to watch.
