This just in: The Big 10 is still no good

And in future news, Ohio State is ranked #1 in the 2008 preseason college football rankings. When will they ever learn.

I'll be honest, after OSU opened up a 10-0 lead early in the first quarter, I was a little worried about the beer money I had riding on the game. Was it possible that LSU was even more overrated than OSU? Was this LSU team going to collapse under the pressure of playing from behind with the National Title on the line? Ummm, nope. An interception and a blocked field goal and 31 unanswered points later and the Buckeye's were all but done. Despite coming into the game as the nations top ranked team and the nations best defense, OSU once again suffered an embarassing Championship game loss at the hands of an SEC team. After last years 41-14 beat down by Florida, their 38-24 loss to LSU might not look so bad, but after a 24-10 halftime deficit, OSU was never even in the hunt, despite a garbage time touchdown at the end when they were down 21.

With any luck the polls will get the picture and OSU won't start 2008 off ranked #1, but I wouldn't count on it. As a bonus, the guys over at Fanhouse wondered What if the BCS ran the NFL?
