Game Thread BCS National Championship Game: tOSU 24, LSU 38 (final)

[Bill Lucas]

Changing gears.

I like the obscure.

Unfortunately, Mount Union lost the D3 national championship today. Don't worry, they'll be back there.

The significance?

In 2003 Mount Union and Ohio State were both in the national championship game. Mount Union lost and Ohio State won.

Last year Mount Union and Ohio State were both in the national championship game. Mount Union won and Ohio State lost.

This year they're both in the games again and today Mount Union lost.

2.) Since 1975 we're the 4th winningst program in D-1A

Nebraska 0.80151​

Florida State 0.76607​

Michigan 0.76026​

Ohio State 0.75256​

LSU is 24th by the way.

Those stats are from 1975 to 2006, they don't include 2007. And from 1975 to 2006, Illinois was 81st out of 112 (0.44126), by the way :)

(but not to the wrestling pic, that's not something to be proud of)

(but not to your Mount Union stat, which was not very exciting)

[sarcasm]Stupid fish, that is Stone Cold, in response to "lead Pipe"?[/sarcasm] I could type slower if you like?

and what is an LSU'ian throwin an "IO" on to my "OH"????

There is something inherantly dirty about that, but I guess not at bad as a scUM fan doing it....

3.) Since Tressel's arrival (2001):

Boise State 0.85714​

Texas 0.85714​

Southern Cal 0.84416​

Ohio State 0.81579​

Again, those stats don't include 2007. If I didn't make a simple math error, these are the stats since 2001 (since Tressel's arrival) until today (I didn't include Boise State):

USC (75-12) 86% ... BB73 edit - actually, USC has 14 losses since 2001, but I guess that's a "simple math error"
Texas (75-14) 84%
OSU (73-15) 83%
OK (69-16) 81%
LSU (73-18) 80%
Georgia (71-19) 79%

I'm surprised Texas did so well. I would have figured Oklahoma would have beat them.

Yeah, but none of those other teams had Steve Bellisari.

Yes, OSU's worst years under Tressel were his first year in 2001 (when Bellisari played his last year at QB for OSU) and in 2004 (when OSU fell out of the weekly AP Top 25 for the first time since 2001).

I'm set for 15 posts per page, so this post is the end of page 100 for me.

And it is only here so that anything posted after this starts a new page and I can act like the last few half a page or so never existed.

I'm beginning to think that all of the good points have already been made.

So which team has the better looking uniforms???

 

[OSUBucksfan09]

OSU looks great in white and scarlet.
LSU looks bad IMO in purple, and ok in white, so. . .
