"...so that Oklahoma can totally dismantle them in New Orleans.

Maybe, but, remember, that's what Miami fans said, too. They went home losers crying and whining about a "bad call" (WAH!). Football is a funny game, anything can happen, that's why they play the game, irony can be pretty ironic, yadda yadda yadda...

Actually Miami was not half the team Oklahoma is this year. Miami showed vulnerability all year, all that was needed to expose them was a great defense.

Last year Ohio State had a defense for the ages and an offence that was at least good enough not to give away games. This year they are a very good Defense with an atrocious offence that is winning by smoke and mirrors.

I predicted last year that the Miami-OSU game would be less than a TD and decided in the last minute. This year I would make Oklahoma at the least a 17 point favorite. The only question will be how low a score the OSU defense could hold the Sooners to, but even that wouldn't matter because the only points Ohio St would score on Oklahoma will be by defense or Special teams.

I am a Georgia fan, so I have no dog in this hunt - but I think it is a travesty that USC can get screwed by a computer formula when they are obviously a better team.
