The Path Continues to Clear

Last week, the
path to New Orleans was outlined after our
convincing win at Michigan. That path was
further cleared today when LSU lost at home to Arkansas
- or, as Les Miles says, ar-Kansas - in triple OT. We
still must ask for more help from Oklahoma in
the Big 12 Title game. If Oklahoma wins (in a
game I believe they'll be favored), Ohio State,
barring any poll wackiness, is all but assured a
return trip to the BCS Championship game.
In case you were wondering, the odds have been calculated for you math types. As of games which ended today, Ohio State stands a 59% chance of getting to the BCS Championship game which is second only to West Virginia's 83%. So, the probability of our return to the national title game has quickly gone from longshot to on the cusp. Maybe ending the regular season before Thanksgiving isn't so bad after all?
