    While I do think they will lose to Michigan, I am getting kind of sick of all the people that bash Ohio State. I think we just be honestly ahead of them in the BCS, but they are winning games. Unlike TCU(who also wins most games by a field goal), Ohio State actually has to play teams that are good. I am not an OSU fan nor am I saying they should be ahead of us, but they are winning their games and that is what counts....

    Yes they keep winning games, but look how they do it. What pissed everyone off is that they are ranked higher than us in the BCS polls, when they certainly should not be. If we didn't both have 1 loss it would be hard to complain. But these trash computer polls don't use margin of victory, which gives ohio state much better ratings than us.

    Sagarin
    w/o scoring margin osu -> #3 LSU -> #7
    w/ scoring margin osu -> #25 LSU -> #2

    Massey
    w/o scoring margin osu -> #2 LSU -> #3
    w/ scoring margin osu -> #9 LSU -> #3

    You just bashed them twice while complaining about the rest of us who think LSU should be ahead of OSU.

    But LSU will have a hard time moving up from fourth to second in the standings that determine who plays for the national championship in the Sugar Bowl unless Ohio State and USC lose. The Tigers have played the weakest schedule of those three teams, a key component in the BCS standings.

    Our strength of schedule is what's hurting us.

    Our strength of schedule skyrockets now while USC's plummets. If we beat Ole Miss, Ark, and go on to win the SEC Title, we will definately bypass USC even if they win out. USC has UCLA and Oregon St. left.

    You're completely missing the point Saban Fan. My point was that people need to stop complaining about them. I think people like to moan and complain about OSU, but they are winning games against good teams. I think next week they will lose, but right now, at this point, they are right around where they should be. I think we should be 3 and they should be four. But some people don't even think they should be top 5...
