re: All you guys who want OSU in the title game...

My problem with the rematch possibility is the logic all the talking heads have used to justify it.
Every other year these same people say best resume and body of work. this year all i've heard is give me the 2 best teams.
Clearly Bama and LSU right? OK. If OSU's kicker makes that kick that went over the upright and they beat Iowa State, who are the 2 best teams? Is it still clearly Bama and LSU? what would have then changed? Bama wouldn't even be in the discussion with an undefeated OSU, although they still would beat them in the eyeball test and be "clearly the better team".
As much as you wanna just use the eyeball test, the only way to be fair and objective to all teams in consideration is to look at their whole body of work, but everyone who works for ESPN seems to have skipped about 5 steps this year when reaching their conclusions.

Everyone likes to point out who teams like Boise St and TCU beat, but then when talking about the big boys that just seams to go out the window and talk about who you lost too.
