LSU 38, OSU 24
Well, the second half was better than the first, but that did Ohio State no good. The defense got to the party late and the offense choked at bad times. Three things stand out about the game:
1: you have to play 60 minutes at this level.
2: Glenn Dorsey is a monster
3: Ohio State needs a secondary
Unfortunately for Ohio State, keeping it close wil not get the monkey off their backs. The Tigers are a deserving No. 1, despite USC and Georgia’s big wins, though if this season is not an argument for a playoff, there isn’t one. We could have been looking at West Virginia-Georgia and USC-LSU in the semifinals (taking those four bowl winners) in a semifinal. How good would those games have been?
Here’s how I see the AP poll coming out in a couple of hours:
1: LSU
2: USC
3: Georgia
4: West Virginia
5: Missouri
6: Kansas
7: Ohio State
8: Virginia Tech
9: Oklahoma
10: Boston College (but I would have Tennessee at No. 10)

Looks like someone decided not to show up in New Orleans (LSU 24-10 at half)
Halftime LSU 24, OSU 10
It seems like the Ohio State defense stayed back in Columbus the way they have played the first half. The offense has not looked too bad, but if you can’t stop the other team, you have no shot.
Meanwhile, the LSU passing attack looks great (though the Buckeyes’ lack of coverage makes it look better than it should).
I don’t like giving up on the team I’m pulling for. I hope the OSU defense feels the same way.
