re: If any fanbase should understand the boost OSU got yesterday, it's LSU's

i don't think this has anything to do with it.

if you flip the VT game to last night and the Wisc game to September, does OSU still get in?

obviously if OSU got that sort of QB play, that game would have been different. also you have to imagine OSU would already be an undefeated big10 champ with 12 wins going into that VT game. they'd have been a clear #1 in the rankings. would a close loss due to a recent QB injury drop them to 5? doubtful

i mean even in the BCS, we saw a handful of teams lose their last game and make the final 2. OSU would be right there

but not 2007. we looked pretty average against a mediocre Tenn team. i think the body of work got us in more than anything.

same applies to OSU

getting that 13th game + another good win + being crowned a champ does make a difference
