Ohio State might be the first team to be crushed in consecutive national championship games...and by two different SEC teams.
i checked out Strength of Schedule stats @
http://teamrankings.com/ncf/27confratings.php3.
the algorithm they use ranks the SEC as the toughest SoS conference. also, OSU has a -0.064 and LSU has a .03. so those stats and NCAA rankings i posted don't mention that OSU got those mediocre ratings against weaker teams and in a weaker conference.
the fact that Ohio State is even in the national championship game again illustrates the demonstrable lack of compassion the BCS system has for the self-esteem of OSU's players and the entire Big Ten.
