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.

Kevy , That was a great game and Huggybear did his thing which is to manage a very good team that plays “old school” defense. I have always liked huggy because he always put out a defense that would have you talking to yourself when it was over and you lost by 10.

If you’re looking for something to do today, how about submitting your name for the NFL’s supplemental draft? Evidently anyone can do it, even Quentin Castille.
Pelini unceremoniously booted the once promising running back on August 22 for the usual mysterious undisclosed violation of team rules, ending Castille’s shot at the riches and fame of pro football.
Or so

I’m not backing down from that comment. He doesn’t have the kind of top end speed you hope for, but his ball skills are insane. Watching his film, I don’t see him outrunning anyone. But no one is taking the ball from him.

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!

“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.)

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.
