re: LSU lowest ranked Defending Champ since 1991

I am not sure exactly how I feel about OSU right now. We tend to forget that last year's team was a pretty young team which wasn't expected to be in the BCS game last year at the beginning of the season. They made a lot of critical errors in the BCS game that cost them dearly. And while LSU also made some mistakes, I think without those crucial penalties, the game would have been somewhat closer than it was. LSU was clearly the better team, but OSU may not have been as bad as they made themselves look at times.

They were picked to finish 3rd in the Big 10 in 2007. Most prognosticators were looking toward this year as being the year to watch out for OSU. The Big 10 competition is questionable again this year. But I do think OSU will probably be a strong contender, especially if they beat or stay close to USC.

We should get a pretty good measure in the USC-OSU game.

its Ohio State that bugs me the most...year in and year out it is the ole crap with OS, and for that matter Oklahoma...They both play in very weak conferences overall, and get blown out in the NC, but every year they are right back in the top 5, especially Ohio State.....

Everyone hear acts like OU and OSU have NEVER won a BCS Championship. Sure they've lost 2 each, and looked really bad in 3 of those, but they also won 2 of those.

Also, last year's OSU team overachieved. It's not like they started the year ranked high. They weren't expected to do that good, so the logic doesn't really follow.
