The national media are busy skewering the Ohio State football squad, but nobody stopped to notice that OSU overachieved this year and last.  If you give Jim Tressel the athleletes that Florida had in 2006 or that LSU has this year, then no one comes even close to him.  Ohio State is losing championships because they are not able to recruit the speediest athletes. It is a myth that winning is all about preparation and discipline. If you don't have the genetic code of a champion then the best that you can be is runner up. (an exception to this rule might be hefty doses of nandrelone and HGH) The most talented football teams in the NCAA in 2007 were LSU, Georgia, and Southern Cal, hands down.  I still think that Ohio State deserved to be in the BCS title game because they accomplished more during the season than Georgia or Southern Cal. Nevertheless, the result of the Ohio State vs. LSU matchup was very easy to predict.  There are only two other teams that have the speed, physicality and talent to compete with LSU and they are Georgia and Southern Cal. To prove my point let me make another prediction.  Ohio State will travel to the L.A. Coliseum for the second game of the 2008 NCAA football season.  USC will run by, through and around Ohio State for 4 quarters.
