Deja Vu
Last year, OSU started with a roar in the BCS championship game. This year, they did the same, scoring almost immediately and soon jumping out to a 10-0 lead. Looked like it'd be a blow out.
It was, but in the other direction. LSU got control of the game (partly thanks to a dropped OSU pass in the end zone) and was leading 24-10 by halftime. They were in control for the rest of the game and ended up winning 38-24.
All around a pretty embarrassing game for the Buckeyes, who on paper should have been good enough. I'm not sure why they fell apart--maybe after the Michigan game they had nothing left.

Nobody fell apart. One team is much better than the other. The Little 10 was exposed (again), going 3-5 in bowls, while the SEC went 7-2. With all said and done, it is clear that LSU, USC, and Georgia are the three best teams this year. The next tier includes West Virginia, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Kansas -- I don't think that OSU belongs. They did not beat a top 20 opponent (at the time on their schedule) all year. Also, they never left Ohio prior to the start of the big10 season. Next year, though, they begin a home and home with USC...
