If Ohio State fans want to avoid an upset stomach, they might not want to root too hard for Oklahoma to beat No. 2 Kansas or No. 4 Missouri in next week's Big 12 Championship Game in San Antonio. The No. 5 Buckeyes should really save themselves from being embarrassed for the second season in a row.
The Buckeyes' national title hopes seemed lost when they fell to Illinois 28-21 on Nov. 10. Then Oregon, Oklahoma and finally LSU lost while the Buckeyes watched. But Ohio State's chances of winning the BCS title are still fleeting, at best. Even if the Buckeyes use the back door to the Louisiana Superdome by finishing in the top two of the final BCS standings, they don't stand a chance against West Virginia.
After Florida ran up and down the field against a better Ohio State team in a 41-14 win in the 2006 BCS Championship Game, the Mountaineers might actually lap the Buckeyes on the Bayou. The Mountaineers are really that fast.
Think Gators quarterback Tim Tebow can run? White runs better.
"I'm biased," Rodriguez said. "I think he's the best football player in the country. Pat has done it his whole career. He makes plays when plays aren't there, and when plays are there, he makes them better."
Think Florida receiver Percy Harvin is fast? Devine and Slaton are faster. Collectively, no other team in the country has as much speed as the Mountaineers.

Thanks for the post.
I don’t know if we have the single fastest player in the country but I do believe that WVU is the fastest team overall in DIV 1
I long for the years past when we would play Penn State and other teams. This gave us a better idea of where we stood nationaly.
There needs to be more symmetry in college football. Every team should play the same # of games. No way OSU deserves the championship game.
