Or you could just point out the example of Florida last year. They never got any respect all year long, while everyone was talking about the Great & Mighty Big Ten, and how #1 Ohio State and #2 Michigan should have a rematch for the NC because no other team in football was on their level. Ohio State was so hyped that not only were they ranked #1 all year long, given the Heisman Trophy, but they made the cover of Sports Illustrated TWICE in one season (the second time calling the "The best. period."). Urban Meyer is very open about the fact that he focused on all that to get his team ready for the game. This year it is reversed. Now you have Ohio State who never got any respect all year long, while everyone was talking about how great the SEC is and how LSU and Georgia might belong in the NC over any crappy Big Ten team like Ohio State. Fortunately for LSU, we have Dorsey and Steltz to help us beat back the powerful onslaught Ohio State is going to lay on us (assuming that anyone on the OSU coaching staff has any motivation skills whatsoever).
