      <title>Can a Buckeye Get an Option Pitch?</title>
      <description>Terrelle Pryor may not be arriving on campus until June, but that doesn't mean it's too early to discuss how he'll be used this fall.

It's generally assumed that LiC will be used in the same manner as Tebow was used his freshman season at Florida. Like Tebow, Pryor will drive the crowd bonkers when he enters the game and the dynamics of what he can do on the field basically doubles the size of your playbook. Similarly, Boeckman is a returning starter entering his final season and no matter how good the incoming talent, he won't lose his starting position.

It will be interesting to see how Tressel utilizes his prize catch. As one that's made a living out of adjusting his schemes to his personnel instead of the other way around, you can bet he'll have some tricks up his sleeve.

Could one of those tricks be the option?</description>

      <title>Why Ohio State Will Win the National Championship</title>
      <description>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.</description>
