Frencman's team made the title game and he loves the BCS...what a shock.

Ohio State had an advantage by not having to play a conference title game.
...well, they usually do...its called the Big Game...its OSU/Michigan.
Regardless, the OSU won their conference. Now I was satisfied that OSU was out of the BCS championship...I accepted it...until the other teams all choked...losing their playoff equivalent games.
OSU is in it because other teams choked...CHOKED!
LSU 5 point favorite at home...translates to 2 point favorite on a neutral field. Seems Vegas thinks a little higher of OSU than you do...and you do not know that much

dlb:OSU had a soft schedule in which even their required games were against relatively weak opponents
...well, thats not fair...it was a tough schedule at the start if the season. Its not like they picked patsies. Michigan and Wisconsin were ranked ahead of them at the start if the year...Penn State was ranked top 20...Washington was a tough school when they scheduled them 5 yrs ago.

Last year they played Texas...#2 in the country. In fact last yr they beat two #2 teams.
This year there was some wholesale devaluation of the Bug 10 solely on OSu'sBCS championship loss to Florida and Michigan's loss to App'l State.

This yr was full of upsets. The only team that did not get a shot was Hawaii.
Tis entore yr was basically one big playoff
