Alright so maybe Beanie Wells proved the SEC speed theory wrong in that first possession when he torched LSU safety Craig Steltz and the rest of the Tiger defense for a touchdown, but it just seemed throughout the game that LSU was the better team. They were strong up front and made the big plays when it counted, and most importantly they were poised. In the end, just like last year, Ohio State (and the sweater vest) was a very good team but they just got outclassed by a better squad in LSU.Overall it was a pretty dull game which just got flat out aggravating thanks to Fox's broadcast. Between Chris Rose (the Ryan Seacrest of college commentating...sorry Herbstreit we know how bad you work for that title) and Charles Davis and Thom (Thom?) Brennaman's game commentary it was enough to drive someone out of their mind. Then you add in those Jumper adds and the dull action on the field and you had the perfect storm. We never thought we'd wish for the dynamic duo of Musberger and Herbstreit so bad.
After Ohio States performance everyone will say that it should have been Georgia or USC in that game, but cmon let's be serious. First off, our thoughts on Georgia's thriller impersonation in the World's Largest cocktail party aside, they didn't even make their conference championship against LSU so how could they have been in the National Championship against them? Same goes for USC who had all the talent in the world this season, but lost to a 41 point underdog at home and only beat two teams with records above .500. Brent Musberger will make sure to mention how the Trojans had injuries, but so did every other team out there this season so we're not buying it. At the end of the day LSU was (sort of) the best team throughout the season and deserved the national championship. Thers no playoff system so for now we have to live with the computers picking our champions.
