National Champs: LSU (The Buckeyes Eat Dirt Again)
Posted on January 8th, 2008
Ohio State played well on Monday night. Except for those 31 unanswered points in 28 minutes that they let LSU score, the Buckeyes put on a stellar performance…
I suppose this is likely to be the last post I write for a while about football. Let's recap the season's end…
The Atlantic Coast Conference won 25% of its bowl games. Boston College, once a national title contender, squeaked by Michigan State. Wake Forest beat Connecticut. But the stars of the ACC didn't shine very brightly, as Florida State lost to Kentucky, Clemson lost to Auburn, Virginia lost to Texas Tech, and the mighty Hokies lost to Kansas.
The Big 10 didn't have a very good bowl season, either. Michigan did manage to upset the Florida Gators. But the Big 10 lost two of its three SEC match-ups, with LSU beating the Buckeyes last night and Tennessee getting past Wisconsin on New Year's Day. Penn State beating Texas A&M in the Alamo Bowl was the only other bright spot for the Big 10. Purdue struggled with a lowly MAC team, but won. And the conference lost the annual Rose Bowl match-up with the PAC 10 - Illinois 17, Southern Cal 49. The Big 10 won only 37% of its bowl games.
