MSU got their butts handed to them in a basket by a team full of professionals with Bama. TCU is no where NEAR the quality of Alabama.
It would have been a very good game. Soft schedule?? (it is not MSU's fault that michigan sucks, or that O$U was not on their schedule)
2010 Strength of Schedule:
MSU- 30
tO$U- 18
TCU - 26
UT - 47
Bowl Teams -
Beat ND
Beat Wisconsin
Beat Michigan
Lost to Iowa
Beat Illinois
Beat Penn State
Beat Northwestern
and as far as the luck goes, I have no idea what you are talking about. Good Players Make Good Plays. If you dont make the plays, you dont win. If you make the plays, you put yourself into a spot where you can win. I hope luck is never taken out of the game of football. It would suck as a sport if that happened.
