I apologize for not posting last night. I was planning on putting a post up in the second quarter, around the time LSU was starting to pull away, and my Internet was down. It was quite a pain. Though the ‘net was down, my TV was working just fine, or at least fine enough for me to see the beating that took place.

After a 38-24 beatdown of Ohio State, in which 14 points doesn’t do the beating justice, I have to ask:

Do the Buckeyes ever deserve to be in a National Title game again? I’ve heard all week from Big Ten faithful that LSU has never seen an offensive line like this, that they’ve never faced a running game like this, that their offense would go stagnate against Ohio State’s “number one” ranked defense.

Pat Forde writes a great article that covers every reason Ohio State shouldn’t be invited back next year, but I don’t think it’s necessary; with an opener against USC, whether it’s at home or not, I can’t see them winning. And if this team has one loss, I can’t imagine any voters putting them in the BCS Title game, especially if an SEC team is representing.

PS: In the last year now, Ohio State has lost two National Championship games in football, one in basketball, and one in soccer. Those fans will eventually be placed on suicide watch.

Anyway, check out the article. There’s a big buzz right now about a playoff, and a Plus-One, and a million different ideas to fix the system, but the problem with all these ideas is they’re never put in place. I won’t get my hopes up.
