Please...that's the kind of thinking that kept them out of the title game. What is an elite team? Their defensive numbers are crappy, but that can be attributed to a number of factors relating to their offense.

Don't you think them being sent to the Fiesta Bowl might have taken some wind out of their sails? Though, with this being their first BCS game ever would have had them excited regardless.

Bottom line: I think they had done more this season than Alabama to deserve a shot. Alabama got rewarded for having the number one team in the country in the same division.

Evidently, the majority of people who follow college football for a living and vote on this stuff thought so as well.

No, their defense is shitty. Very shitty.

They don't look any worse than they have all year. This is just the best team they have faced.

Played worse competition, have a crappy defense, lost to Iowa State. Bama and LSU are in a league by themselves. Bottom line, OSU is closer to Arkansas in quality than it is LSU or Bama
