“LSU was expected to be here from game 1 but the Buckeyes really surprised people by getting back to the title game for the second year in a row,” stated Sports-Odds.com BCS Championship Picks Expert Brad Marchetti of Einstein Picks when asked about the 2008 BCS Title Game between Ohio State vs LSU. “LSU has the same level of athletes as last year's Florida Gators championship team but I don't think they are as good overall as last year's champs.”
The LSU Tigers (11-2) were able to secure their spot in the 2008 BCS Championship Game after Missouri and West Virginia football teams lost their last game of the regular season.
"We know the road we've taken isn't one that anyone could have scripted," stated LSU running back Jacob Hester. "I didn't think we'd be playing any later than Jan. 1. I really like the path we've taken. If we would have come in here 13-0 with the big head, thinking we're untouchable, who knows what would have happened. But the fact that we are 11-2 … that really makes us have a sense of focus on this coming game."
Ohio State dropped from No. 1 in the country to No. 7 after losing to Ron Zook’s Illinois team 21-28 in Columbus on November 10th. Despite the lose, the Buckeyes were able to regroup and beat arch-rival Michigan at Ann Arbor the following week. The win over Michigan effectively ended Wolverines Head Coach Lloyd Carr’s tenure with the Blue and Maize. The Buckeyes benefited from the Missouri and West Virginia loses as well.
