Well played.

LSU by 6 in 3 OT's. LSU likes playing 3 OT games even though they lost the first two they played. They will finally win one against OSU. You have to remember this is essentially a home game for LSU. The Superdome will be at 70% LSU fans,maybe more. LSU has been anticipating this game all year and I would say they have a good chunk of the tickets bought up.

Appalachian St. over Delaware by 7.

Just be sure to close this poll before the game. Last year the number of Florida votes got substantially higher AFTER the game.

The Empire Strikes Back- Ohio State wins.

I think LSU wins by 10. But after a month layoff, anything can happen.

Depends on which Todd Boeckman shows up. If we get the one from the first 10 games, Ohio State should win. If the Illinois and Michigan games Boeckman shows up, Ohio State doesn't have much of a chance. Ohio State has to be balanced.

Make sure he has a dietician.

Boeckman will play a big role, no doubt. I think the key is having a healthy Beanie Wells. If he is healthy the Bucks will have a running game to rely on, and that will open up the passing game for Boeckman. If Wells is unable to go LSU can pin their ears back and will have no problems frustrating the OSU offense.

I think the health of Wells is as big or bigger than the health of Dorsey.

To be fair, the Michigan Boeckman will not have to worry about showing up because of the dome. The Illinois game he was truly off (first year, one bad game, I'll take that anytime), but the Michigan game was all about the elements.

Why wouldn't Wells be healthy? His ankle should have time to be dramatically improved and he played after appearing to tweak his hammy in the Michigan game, unless there's something you know that I don't.

A month is likely enough for his ankle sprain and tweaked hammy to fully heal, unless he tweaks one of them in practice. Things happen and they seemed to happen quite a bit to him this season. I'm not sure he was ever "healthy" all season long.

Ohio State wins by 86. LSU stinks, ya know.

If Hawaii wins over Georgia, there should be a split national championship.

BoydsOfSummer · 12-03-2007, 06:11 PM

OSU by 6

Well, sure I want the Bucks to win it all, but I'm also pulling for Hawaii just because situations like this make more of a case for a playoff system. Not that we'll see that happen anytime soon, but an undefeated team being left out would strengthen the argument.
