kelpdiver 2 #6 January 7, 2008 Regardless of the opponent, I'd pick against the Buckeyes until they prove themselves otherwise. OSU is there by attrition - all the more worthy teams blew up along the way while they survived their schedule in a clear down year for the Big 10. Their scheduling method of finishing early in November also seems to work against them a week into January. I do predict a boring game, since neither team is known for offense.

BillyVance 34 #7 January 7, 2008 Quote neither team is known for offense. You would be wrong. Look here: http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/sortableStatsTeam?div=CFB&stype=OFFENSE&stable=overall&stat=overallPtsGm&dir=descending LSU is ranked #7th in the nation in scoring offense at 38.7 points per game and OSU is within sight at 32 points per game. However, they're both also ranked high in scoring defense: http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/sortableStatsTeam?div=CFB&stype=DEFENSE&stable=overall&stat=overallPtsGm&dir=ascending Ohio State is #1 at 10.7/game and LSU is a respectable 19.6/game despite a late season decline in defensive prowess due to injuries."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halfpastniner 0 #8 January 7, 2008 The thing I hate the most is that this is basically a home game for LSU....i know it wasnt planned out like that but it still seems unfair. Imigine what people would say if the game was in clevelandBASE 1384 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd be the same way, IF it's not Tennessee coached by FAT Fulmer or LSU coached by Gamble-to-win Les Miles.

I think only one AP poll voter picked Alabama to win and everybody called him an idiot. Yeah, Alabama STOMPED Miami 34-13 and didn't allow an offensive TD by them.
