I doubt either team scores a ton of points. I'll take OSU 21 LSU 17

 

I'm gonna partying it up at the OSU bar in the city here for Championship Monday!

Everyone will talk about LSU and how OSU got demolished last year. That will grate on the Buckeyes, like it did last year with Florida. LSU is better, but I'm not sold on how great they are.

 

I can't wait for the LSU/Ohio State matchup. You don't get to the MNC two years in a row without being badass.

 

FWIW, LSU is a great team. They played a lot more convincingly earlier in the season when they weren't racked with injuries to key players like Dorsey, but they found ways to win and their only two losses were both in triple overtime. LSU WITH Glenn Dorsey has a much better defense than without. He makes that much of a difference. Arkansas always plays LSU to the wire and McFadden is unbelievable. That was a TOUGH loss.

 

LSU is deep at a lot of key positions, and it should be noted that they won the SEC Championship with a QB who has only made one start in his career. I'm thinking that Dorsey, Doucet, and Matt Flynn will be ready to go for the MNC game - and LSU will be at full strength.

 

34-21 LSU.

 

 

They won the SEC Championship because Eric AInge looked like Danny Ainge playing football.

Keep hanging your hat on that if it makes you feel better. Somebody had to be there to catch the damn thing.

Wow anybody just hear June Jones's comments regarding Tim Tebow, Colt Brennan, and the Heisman? He took a pretty good shot at Tebow. I hope Meph is ok.

 

 

what'd he say?

 

Called Tebow a system QB, and that he couldnt run Hawaii's offense because it takes an accurate passer.

 

And Colt Brennan couldn't run Florida's offense. Please be quiet June Jones. Do your talking on January 1 against Georgia.

 

Who's going to be the more successful QB in the next level? I'd say Colt.

 

I don't think either will be stars but both will have decent NFL careers. The couple times I've watched him this year Tebow's been pretty accurate. Not sure how strong of an arm he has though. If I had to pick one I'd probably guess Brennan.

They won the SEC Championship with a backup QB who had one career start before the game.

So now what do the Big 10 teams have to do to look good in bowl season? Win the game at LSU, the game at USC, or the game at Florida?

 

no, that would just be lucky.

It's irrelevant, since they'll lose all those games by healthy margins.

 

 

If anybody would know about losing by healthy margins, you surely would :D

 

Bah, Ball State totally should've beaten Illinois if you think about it. Just take all the incompletions from Davis and turn them into completions. Stupid mental errors.

Not anymore because they got beat. They were #5 when Illinois beat them. So, yes, they were a top 5 team.

 

That's some mind bendingly awful logic.

 

I agree. I mean.....wow. :lol:

 

Are you saying a team shouldn't get credit for beating a team ranked in the top 5 in the nation?

 

What constitutes a top 5 win? My logic is apparently flawed so please explain.

I'll explain in three sentences.

 

ND beat No. 3 Michigan at the Big House in 2005. Michigan finished 7-5. No one did or should have considered that a top 5 win.

 

End.

 

The stats site that as a top 5 win.

 

It's not really hard to understand. I agree that Wisconsin isn't a top 5 program right now, but that is what they were ranked at the time they played Illinois.

 

The fact of the matter is, Illinois beat 2 top 5 ranked teams. Whether you think those teams should have been ranked in the top 5 is another issue all together.

 

See here's the thing, it WAS a top-5 win. It's not anymore. Now it's a win over the No. 18 team in the BCS.

 

Just out of curiosity, what do you consider Missouri's win over Illinois to be - a win over a team that didn't have any votes at the time the teams played or the No. 13 team in the BCS?

 

Technically, Mizzou beat an unranked team. And right now, the Illini's win over Wisconsin still counts as a top 5 team. All the arguing in the world doesn't change that.

 

Wisconsin a bottom of the top 25 team and after the regular season is over, you look at the whole picture not how they were ranked at the time. Just because the coaches just plug them in there after they played no one OOC is a joke.

 

WV blew it and choked while being outplayed by Pitt. I saw the tightness when they didn't score the TD on the first drive and they went for the FG, which they missed. Now they have to play the best team in College football in a bowl game.
