[@nedstewart1]

@Ryan Randone What this boils down to is an arrogant Ohio State fan base who thinks their team is God's gift to college football. They disregard the fact that historically they have a losing bowl record, is 2-10 against the SEC in bowl games, 0-7 against FSU & Clemson of the ACC, lost to FSU in the Shoe 2 times with in the period of a year, lost to LSU for the BCS national championship & would have lost to them again in this last championship game. Also Ohio State on purpose does not have an in state rival which gives them a recruiting advantage being the state of Ohio only has one team that can compete for the national championship. Advantage Ohio State in recruiting and making their schedule easier than other states who have multiple teams capable and who have won national championships. Ohio State has lost it's regional pride by having 30% of their team coming from the South and has a severe co-dependence on the state Texas in order to compete. They should drop the name Ohio and just call themselves the Bucks. Clemson a team 4-0 over the Bucks has 90% of their players coming from the South which gives them regional pride and may have something to do with THE Clemson Tigers being 2-0 over the Bucks losing to The ClemsonTigers in 2 straight championship games.. I wonder how mid-west Ohio State would be if 90% of their players were from the mid-west? Not so good I would guess....

Let’s be fare, unbiased, and as fans that love college football ask ourselves Does this years LSU team rank up there with The Nebraska team that beat Warren Sapp’s Miami team and the 2001 Miami team? I think it’s a legit question to think about. I know it’s different era for many reason but look at the resume- Texas team that was at its healthiest at that their place, Florida, Auburn, Alabama team at their place where they never lose, Georgia, Oklahoma, and a Clemson team loaded with talent and experience that is so well coached that it is hard to comprehend that was the defending national champion and on a 29 game winning streak. You saw what a healthy LSU defense is capable of doing its last 5 games, Joe Burrow has the greatest college football season for QB with maybe the best or second best WR core of all time- Maybe they are greatest of all time or not- but you have to consider it!
