Ohio State, LSU to meet for the title

Just a few weeks ago, it appeared as if Ohio State and LSU had both blown their shot at playing in the BCS title game with losses to unranked opponents

But in this strangest of college football seasons, both have played their way back into the championship, albeit with plenty of help from any number of teams who were unable to take advantage of the opportunities presented them.

Saturday, it was Missouri and West Virginia which stumbled — the first time in the history of the BCS that both the No. 1 and 2 teams in the standings lost on the same day — opening the door for idle Ohio State to ascend to the top spot.

It marked the end of a long journey back for the Buckeyes, who were in seventh place in the standings after their stunning home loss to Illinois and still mired in fifth place after finishing the regular season with a win at Michigan on Nov. 17.

LSU, meanwhile, used a victory over Tennessee in the SEC title game to vault all the way from seventh to second in the standings. In addition to passing Saturday's big losers (i.e., Missouri and West Virginia), the Tigers also leapfrogged ACC champion Virginia Tech and a pair of idle teams in Georgia and Kansas.

Buckeyes gonna whup them Cajun boys! Yassir!

GO BUCKEYES!

Even though I don't care who will win, as my attention will be turned to the Cotton Bowl, I gotta say, GEAUX Tigers!

My attention will be focused more on the Orange Bowl where the Jayhawks will be enjoying the warm atmosphere.

That's only because my Hawks were too busy playing with their ding-a-lings instead of beating Missouri.
