Ohio State is in, so who will play them in the title game?

Non-lacrosse specific topics.

I wish. I would love to hang another 50 on them. Unfortunately, the only way Arkansas would see the National Championship game is if those Hogs could fly!

A non conference-winner in the National Championship again would most certainly result in another Ohio State win. I would love to see anyone play Ohio State that doesn't have a miserable defensive backfield. I think OSU and VT would be a better game since their corners don't turn their back on their receivers and don't even look for the ball.

it was definatley a great game to watch, but i never really felt like michigan had a chance to win after OSU went up 28-14.

Really Danny?

Even when Mi was down 3, and they had stopped the Buckeyes on 3rd and 15 - only to have a really bad decsion made by #2?

I think that had that personal foul not been committed, Ohio State was in trouble.

But it was, and it was the right call.

That call reeeally could have gone either way though. The player led with his shoulder, not his head and hit the OSU player in his shoulder. By definition that is legal...however physics would state that their heads will collide. I didn't like the call but regardless...OSU was a much better team.

While the W/L outcome might not be different, we'd love to play that game again.

Only Florida and Michigan have the defenses to stop OSU.

I hate to inform you of this, but USC's defense is the strength of their team. It is better than Florida's and on a par with Michigan in my opinion.

Michigan obviously doesn't have the defense to stop OSU. Michigan has terrible defense...at least against OSU. Giving receivers a 15 yard cushion is basically playing a prevent set. OSU didn't need to run the ball or heave long passes...they just needed quick routes and slants to get first downs on almost every play. Eastern and Western Michigan have higher ranked pass defenses than Michigan's #77 rank. I think USC's defense was looking pretty sharp Saturday. We'll see how they do against ND.

I think that Florida might have peaked to early with their tough conference schedule, and it seems as though they're starting to tail off. Obviously excluding their pummeling of D-IAA Western Carolina. Their last two games they were almost upset by the bottom two teams in their conference. I dont think FSU will beat them, althought that'd be niiice :) . I think that Arkansas will definately give them a tough time in the conference championship.

OSU-Arkansas, I'd want to see the Hogs from Clampet country give the Nuts from Columbus a run for their money. ROLL TIDE!!! :lol:

i don't think there is anyway you could put Arkansas in over USC (if they win out) or ND in over Michigan.
