Ohio State plays a damn good opponent in the LSU Tigers. This is the breakdown-
Coaching- I'd give to Ohio State- Tressel is THE BEST of today.
Mental Advantage- Easily Ohio State
Physical Advantage- Easily Ohio State
Schedule Advantage- With time to rest, it's not problem facing a big time opponent - LSU
"Speed" Advantage- LSU
Homefield- LSU because of location, I wouldn't doubt a showing of about 55% LSU 45% Ohio State. We traveled to Az, La won't be a problem.
Defensive Advantage- Well, our D is incredible, but Dorsey is going to be a major factor here. LSU
Offensive Advantage- Although the Tigers have 30 RBs, Beanie IMO, is still better
Special Teams- Ohio State, we have damn good kickers, and our return game is pretty decent.
X Factors-
Dorsey, Lauriniatis.
Mo Wells (backup to Beanie Wells), Hester
That's my breakdown.
Now, to the real reason we will take this one, as we should've the last.
The underdog has won the majority of the BCS.
Think about it... When you're the underdog, and get to hear how you don't belong on the same field as your opponent, and you hear it for 5-8 weeks, it sets in, we're tired of this.
It's what happened last year. It wasn't the speed of the SEC. The only place the SEC is faster in than the Big Ten is the LineBacker position, other than that, it's all the same.
It wasn't the speed though... The Buckeyes heard it'd be given to them, and it wasn't. It's what happened to Miami, and USC, and Texas. The list goes on. And it will stay this way.
Quite frankly, I'm good being the underdog, especially now.
