Coaches’ Poll has LSU Going #2
The first part of the bird’s nest has been unwound.
The USA Today Coaches’ Poll has Ohio State and LSU playing for the national championship.
Ohio State has 46 first place votes. LSU has 11 first place votes followed by OU with two and Hawaii with one.
Considering that the coaches’ poll, combined with the Harris Poll, make up two thirds of the BCS rankings, it would likely take a drastic disagreement from the Harris Poll to keep LSU out of the title game.

LSU gets to play a virtual home game for the national championship.

The Hawaii Rainbows and a large crowd of fans have gathered in their gym. ESPN will be there live in order for everyone to see how disappointed they are about to be.

I thought they were seeking shelter from a hurricane.

Kansas to the Orange? Mangino doesn’t eat fruit.
December 2, 2007 at 5:17 pm
We are going to the Orange Bowl!!!!!
December 2, 2007 at 5:21 pm
Are you trying to say that Mangino has a bad reaction to the acids?

Les Miles looks like Jerry Heller at an N.W.A. concert.

Tressel will wear a denim vest in New Orleans to make a better impression on the high school coaches.

They need to come up with a slogan for the BCS title game. How about ‘Do Wet Couches Burn?’
December 2, 2007 at 5:33 pm
I prefer “So, How Many People Do You Think Crapped in This Place During the Hurricane?.”

Illinois will meet USC in the Rose Bowl, which has changed its name to ‘FU Kansas.’
December 2, 2007 at 6:18 pm
IS there anyway that both schools can lose the game?

The Rose Bowl opts to maintain the conference slumber party.

I love it when the BCS pairing is controversial. The more, the better. This will add fuel to the fire for a playoff.

For a while, it appeared that there were three potentially great teams — Southern Cal, LSU, and Oklahoma. Now, barring unforeseen circumstances, all three will not be playing in the National Championship game. - Bill Little

LSU opens -5.
Lester will pull some John Nash bullshit to win and slur the post-game MNC speech through a veil of thorazine.

“Illinois will meet USC in the Rose Bowl, which has changed its name to ‘FU Kansas.’”
Meanwhile, the BCS has changed its name to ‘F*ck you, logic & reason.’ Mike Silve couldn’t be reached for comment as he was wiping his ass with $100 bills.

How is ohio state more deserving than hawaii? lets say theoretically hawaii was 12-0 with a victory against Michigan (a supposed quality opponent according to OSU backers) would any pollster have them as the #1 team? this is a joke. Now i enjoy watching ohio state get embarassed in the title game every year to some extent but there is that small possibility that they beat an overrated imo LSU team. then we have to withstand more OSU chest thumping about a natl championship. well here’s to the holiday bowl!

I guess Mangino has changed his tune over the “B … C … S”.
December 2, 2007 at 11:18 pm
“How is ohio state more deserving than hawaii?”
Because tOSU’s SOS is in the mid 70s while Hawaii’s is dead last.
Because tOSU played 7 teams that had winning records and Hawaii played 2.
Because tOSU’s D1AA cupcake actually had a decent season (Youngstown State went 7-4) and Hawaii’s D1AA cupcakeS went 1-11 (Northern Colorado) and 5-6 (Charleston Southern.)

You know you’re in trouble when numbnuts like Les Miles and his staff are in demand for coaching positions at traditional powerhouses and nobody wants your coaches.

My feelings about college football in general can be summed up best by the expression ‘anyone but Ohio State’.

Dawgs get screwed! LSU has lost two games since Georgia last lost. And when did being conference champion become a BCS championship game requirement? Guess Notre Dame can never go. Of course, that’s no danger no matter what the BCS rules.

Yes, I understand why everyone jumped UGA in the BCS, but it still pissed me off to no end to hear Herbie crying about how just about the entire NC double A should be ahead of the Dawgs before the 4th quarter of the Big 12 title game was 5 minutes old. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the fact that he’d rather have OSU face an injury riddled LSU w/ (possibly) an interim DC than 1 of the 2 hottest teams in the country.
Hey, Kirk, how about both Oklahoma & LSU jumping Ohio St.? I think the only major conference weaker than the Big 10 was the ACC. Goddamn crybaby, shirt-lifting dumbass. Let Brokeback catcher Jake Gyllenhaal play Herbstreit in THAT Lifetime movie of the week. Erin Andrews could fuck the entire Michael Vick dogfighting crew at once and it would still be a step up from being disappointed by your limp White Owl. I bet you wept when she dumped you.
BTW, nice call on Les Miles. I’m sure Wall Street could use your Nostrodamus-like forecasting abilities, you mousse-soaked Astroglide abuser.
But I’m not bitter. It’s important to remember this.
