1/7 BCS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME @ Louisiana Superdome

[Spartacus]

Ohio State enters the BCS Championship Game as the No. 1 seed for the second straight year. The Buckeyes hope for a better result against their SEC foe this time around at the Louisiana Superdome. LSU and Ohio State will face off in the controversial game, which some believe could have seen Georgia, USC or West Virginia as deserving foes. Of note, the Buckeyes rank No. 1 in overall defense and LSU has struggled to a 1-7-2 ATS mark their past 10 games.

Oddsmakers currently have the Tigers listed as 4½-point favorites versus the Buckeyes, while the game's total has not yet been posted.

Ohio State held Michigan to 89 yards in a 14-3 win last time out, covering the 4-point spread. The 17 points scored were UNDER the posted total of 46.5.

Todd Boeckman went 7-for-13 for 50 yards and a pick, while Chris Wells ran 39 times for 220 yards and two touchdowns for the Buckeyes.

LSU put up 463 yards in a 21-14 win over Tennessee in the SEC title game last time out, creating a PUSH with the 7-point home spread. The 35 points scored were UNDER the posted total of 59.

Ryan Perrilloux went 20-for-30 for 243 yards, one touchdown and one pick, while Jacob Hester ran 23 times for 119 yards for the Tigers.

i'm not impressed by any of OSU's wins. they barely beat a hobbled U of M & lost outright to Juice Williams and the Illinini.....

I haven't been thrilled with LSU this year but they should be able to handle the mediocre Buckeyes.

this is for all the marbles.........the south has always had an upper hand on the north, in ncaa football, at least...i remember when all of the FSU/Canes teams would regularly hand out beat downs to the big 10 and the like....football is life down there......i can't remember the last time a team north of Kentucky won the title....
