OK, because the speed and skill in the Big Ten are so superior to the SEC. I think they would be able to run the ball but the defense would not have any shot at stopping the AK offense.

Didn't Ohio St beat Arkansas last year in the Sugar Bowl? I believe that was a matchup of the number 2 Big Ten Team against the number 2 SEC team.

They didn't actually have a single win last year. They were co-champs of the Big 10 with Michigan and Wisconsin I think, prior to turning over all their wins of course. The officiating was suspect in that game as well, as a gambler I say that to make myself feel better. Ohio State had lost 8 or nine straight to SEC going in so it made sense...

yep, they did. arkansas has a poor post season record; their last bowl win was vs east carolina. don't hear much about that tho.
it was hilarious around here when osu got stripped of their wins. hog fans were saying hey, we won...er, no, you didn't!


was arky really #2 sec last year tho? hard to imagine.

They were, the east beat each other all year and so did the west except Auburn of course. Ark was ahead of LSU (though tied).

LSU vs. BAMA II, January 9, 2012. Like it or not its coming. Les is still sitting on the plays in the back of his playbook.

Those Tigers are something else aren't they? They just find a way to win.

42 unanswered points. unreal. they're like a horse that doesn't leave the gate well-but once they get in stride, you better look out.


mathieu named mvp-figured it was between him and hilliard. this team has some depth. i'm loving it.

Just like when I started this thread, I like LSU again. Not sure I love them as 3-5 point favorites though.

I'd rather see whatever happens betwixt LSU and Ok State than see another field goal suckfest.
