Predictions.
I think LSU, like Florida last year will probably be too fast for Ohio State.
I'm kind of rooting for the Big Ten, though.

This Big 10 team does not seem to stack up well against the SEC in bowl games.
Charlotte 03
Asheville 04
Atlanta 12
Greenville 16, Columbia 16
Seattle 18
Nashville 22
That's a telling stat! I think LSU by at least 2 T.D.'s.
LSU if they come ready and Bo Pellini's departure isn't too much of a factor will absolutely destroy OSU. They haven't played anyone this year half as fast.
Healthy Glen Dorsey will dominate. C Wells will not run. Too much defensive speed. Not enough playmakers for OSU this year.
They beat Miami on a boosh phantom PI call in the endzone and a terrific play by Maurice Clarett.
On paper, LSU dominates OSU in every facit.
1. lsu has a more traditional offense than most sec teams. the run and shoot spread offense that killed the buckeyes against florida and illinois is not really what lsu does. that's promising for ohio state's defense.
2. osu has a huge chip on their shoulder this year and will be coming in big underdogs. they also play better in big road games against adversity. they've got a lot prove, nothing to lose, and everything to gain this season.
that said, i don't like their chances, but less because of speed and talent. osu can hang with anybody in terms of raw athletic talent. they don't have more nfl draft picks than anyone but usc for no reason. however, they just aren't ready. lsu has been playing and winning big games all season. they've had to win in tough situations, they're battle-hardened, and they've fought hard to get here. ohio state has not truly been tested. they're a relatively young and inexperienced team that could get rattled if they get down, as was shown against illinois.
That being said, how any team (other than possibly Hawaii) could make a claim to the national championship this year is beyond me.
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
well, you could start with all the teams that won their respective conferences... and work your way from there.
you could say they kinda did. osu won the big ten and has the best record of all major conference champs. lsu won the sec and played in the strongest conference (oklahoma has a solid argument there though).
i still like a playoff with the champs of the big 6 conferences and 2 wild cards.
oklahoma
vt
osu
lsu
usc
wvu
plus:
hawaii
georgia
how sweet would that be?
