BCS Selects LSU, Ohio State; OU Finishes 4th
The latest chapter in the 2007 unpredictable college football season was written Sunday when LSU was picked by the BCS to play Ohio State for the championship, thus leaving about a half-dozen other candidates, including Oklahoma, with plenty to complain about. Oklahoma finished fourth in the BCS standings.
The Tigers (11-2) will be the first team to play in the BCS title game with two losses.
No. 1 Ohio State goes into the game, January 7 at the Superdome in New Orleans, at 11-1.
Why did LSU, which was seventh in the BCS standings heading into the final weekend, make the jump to No. 2 and into the big game, while Oklahoma, Southern California, Georgia and a number of others were left behind? an AP writer asked. He suggested that the "174 poll voters and handful of computer nerds whose calculations make up the BCS rankings probably all have their own reasons. Among the best is that LSU was rewarded for winning the Southeastern Conference, which is traditionally viewed as one of the toughest leagues in the nation."
