Dear Ohio State football team,

I know that you have nothing to play for this season, so I thought perhaps you could do something nice for others, specifically your little-sister friends at Boise State.

I note with some dismay that Michigan is gaining on us in the BCS standings. They'll probably pass us if they continue to win, and they could even win the Big Ten championship. As you may know, BSU can automatically qualify for a BCS bowl berth if we finish in the top 16, but only if an AQ-conference champion is ranked lower. So if you could defeat Michigan in a few weeks' time, and knock them down a few pegs, that would be tremendous for all of us. Also if you could take out Wisconsin, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance and good luck.

Your pals,
Bronco Nation

(PS I don't normally claim to speak for anyone but myself, but I think I can speak for Bronco Nation in this case.)
