The thing no one has explained is perception wise with what? What is changing? Do you really think that people who are super biased to the east coast (a group that I'm not sure actually exists, I think there's absolutely SEC bias but the B1G was routinely called the worst conference in football recently) are going to suddenly take notice if we beat OSU? They'd just make up excuses for it. That's the problem with dealing with bias, you can't win.

Unless someone can come up with an actually plausible mechanism for how this matters, I'm going to continue to think that it doesn't.
