Re: who does tOSU play in the title game?
It's a different situation. USC and OU had injuries in the middle part of the season that caused them to perform unusually bad, but then they recovered and proved themselves in big games afterward. LSU hasn't shown this supposed dominant team that would show up at 100% since September.
Also, I don't expect Dorsey to be much better by January 7th. Bradford and Booty (and the rest of the USC offense that went down) are pretty much 100% healthy and as a result USC and OU are different teams than the ones that lost earlier in the year. With LSU, we're basically getting the gimpy version that lost to Arkansas. Fair or not, I think that makes Oklahoma and USC better teams than LSU at the moment.
