For the second consecutive year, Ohio State got worked in the national championship game by a team from the SEC. Naturally, this pleases all SEC fans and rankles Big Ten fans. So let's scour some message boards to get a sample of what the always sane, cool, calm and collected folks on message boards have to say about it.

- ESPN.com (Post before game): "I GUARANTEE OSU VICTORY. Bet your house on it....they have the psychological advantage, and LSU may be the MOST OVERRATED team of ALL times!! It is amazing what media hypnotism can do...LSU lost to cupcakes like Kentucky and Arkansas, and should've had 4-5 losses (but for lucky 4th down conversions) and should've lost to ALABAMA!

Furthermore, I hear those undisciplined Tiger thugs have been staying up until 1am...havin' fun...with the blessing of their mediocre choker-coach (see Oklahoma State) thinking the game is already won!!!

Mark it down people....OSU's D will shut them down HARD!!

Take it to the bank...OSU wins this one." - ihatefairweathers

- WingedHelmet.com: "I'm DAMN proud of that DAMN strong Michigan Man at LSU...Congrats, Coach.

DAMN strong coached game by Uncle Les. His team showed more discipline, and more character than OSU. Tressell was simply out coached. If Miles' team would have performed the way OSU did, Miles would have been crucified as a renegade." - annarbor5

- TigerRoar.com: "Don't blow my $800 Tigers. Please hold on!" - Jax Wave

- BuckeyeSports.com: "Think of the feeling when we beat USC. That is just as big as the national championship game." - BuckeyeMatt67 (Ed. note: Ohio State plays at USC next season)

- WooPig.net: "frick this SEC camaraderie bull.

I fricking HATE LSU. I do not want them to win a national title.

Reasons to root for OSU:

1. John Brady

2. We would have had back-to-back national titles in the 60s but LSU beat us in the Cotton.

3. Les Miles is a Michi-dewshe drama-queen.

4. Their fans are all dysfunctional alcoholic a$$holes." - Dick Whitecollar

- BuckeyePlanet.com: "Best team in the country.... no question. I hope LSU and SEC fans can handle victory with the same class as I believe we can handle defeat." - OH10
