Can the Ohio State Buckeyes win BCS National Title?

First thing's first. Admit it, you never thought Ohio State would be making a return here right?

I don't blame you. With the way the Ohio State Buckeyes were shocked out of the national title picture to finish the season, expecting the Buckeyes to play for the championship in January became nothing more but wishful thinking.

But lo and behold, in a season full of upsets, (and we sure had a lot of them in the 2007 NCAA college football season...) the top teams on top of the Buckeyes fell the same path, letting Ohio State make that climb atop the BCS rankings again and giving them back the spot at the 2008 BCS national championship game that was swiftly taken away from them.

In the end, the 11-1 Ohio State will be playing for it all, against another team that ALMOST missed their BCS national championship berth, the LSU Tigers. Good thing Ohio State was fortunate enough to have their championship berth back right? Um... Not quite.

The Buckeyes, even though they will be making their second consecutive trip to the BCS national championship game, are probably in trouble considering they haven't beaten any team from the SEC every single time they get to college football's grandest stage.

Yep, the Buckeyes were always frustrated by SEC teams in these BCS bowl games, they are 0-9 against SEC opponents.

Last season, the Buckeyes lost to SEC giants, Florida Gators, giving Florida the college football national title after winning college hoops gold. And in case you're wondering, the LSU Tigers are also coming out of the SEC when they play in the 2008 AllState BCS national championship game on January.

Who'll win? It's anybody's guess at this point. But if I was a betting man, I'm picking Ohio State since they will be the underdogs playing for a national title in a season full of upsets.

Yes people, one last upset is in the making.
