The following things must happen in order for me to be happy (read: for Ohio State to get back to the BCS Title game and have a shot at winning it).
1. Missouri or Kansas must lose when they face each other this weekend. This definitely will happen, unless they tie or the world blows up or something.
2. West Virginia must lose to Connecticut, Saturday. This actually might happen. Connecticut, believe it or not, is a top-25 team.
3. Oklahoma must get QB Sam Bradford healthy in time for the Big 12 Championship game and then must beat the winner of Missouri/Kansas.
Ohio State would then jump to number two in the BCS standings and play LSU in the National Title game. LSU is the best matchup of the remaining teams near the top (except for maybe Arizona State should LSU lose, too) because LSU runs a more traditional offense.
If LSU loses to Georgia in the SEC Championship and West Virginia wins out, OSU probably gets beat on Jan. 8. West Virginia runs a more potent spread option than Illinois, especially running with Steve Slaton and Pat White, and we all know how that turned out.
If LSU loses and Missouri wins out, we might lose that game too, because Missouri runs a…can you guess?...spread offense, right. Chase Daniel is light years better throwing the ball than Juice Williams, who killed OSU’s secondary.
And Kansas?…spread offense. But they are largely untested and should lose one of they’re final two games. They are undefeated, but sport the 117th-rated schedule. And their coach may die of a heart attack before then. Have you seen this guy? If they end up winning it all, the Jayhawks players might just end up dumping ranch dressing over him instead of Gatorade.
So be praying for a miracle…or several miracles over the next few weeks. But the way this college football season has been thus far, don’t be surprised if the Buckeyes find themselves back in it.

Thanks for the ranch dressing reference. I think I just sharted I laughed so hard.
I don't want anything to do with WVU. And since we are playing USC the next couple of years during the regular season, I'd like to take a crack at them in the Rose Bowl instead. I may be the only OSU fan that doesn't want to go to the title game.
ESPN has predicted a WVU vs OSU BCS. The first time both of the guys giving predictions have agreed all year. Uh oh
