Greg Oden will announce that he's turning pro

Ohio State freshman, Greg Oden will announce that he is turning pro and forego his remaining eligibility at Ohio State. Having dominated at the collegiate level, he has nothing left to prove. The shot of winning a national title next year is too elusive to rely upon. Ohio State could have easily lost any of the games leading up to the national championship game. Next year could result in yet another (make that three) Gator disappointment if Florida's juniors remain on the team.

Word has it that Jim Tressel jinxed the basketball team by showing up to the national title game. Having already been blown out by the Gators just a couple months earlier, Tressel brought plenty of bad karma to the basketball Buckeyes.

OSU fans will undoubtedly protest vehemently that Oden has cheated them and the university out of his scholarship "obligation." Whatever. In the end, it boils down to what the fans want (not that any of them have the players' interests in mind anyway).

Pete Fiutak of cfn.scout.com - complete idiot

Pete Fiutak of Collegefootballnew.com predicts Michigan to be the 2007 Notre Dame. Fiutak is as pro-Buckeye as you can get which explains why he misses the obvious choice for next year's 2007 Notre Dame - Ohio State. With patsies lining the schedule, OSU is set for a major implosion at season end. Nice try, Pete.

Script OShit

TBDBITL's halftime show was a bit modified at the BCS championship game.

Scott Woods of thelantern.com turns out to be Gator bait

Woods' predictions -

Prediction: In all likelihood, the game against the Gators will be Ginn's last as a Buckeye. Look for the speedy No. 7 to make NFL scouts drool in this one to the tune of eight receptions for 120 yards and two touchdowns - the second of which coming on a long-awaited kickoff return to the house.

He did get the kickoff right.

Prediction: Boone has proven to be the real deal and is destined for All-America status in the future, but Harvey is the type of end that will seriously test him. Look for the two stars to trade punches throughout the game, leading to an occasional Smith error that could keep the Gators close until the final gun.

Boone got crushed.

So who's it going to be? Chris Leak and Percy Harvin have big days, DeShawn Wynn is solid and the Gators... break the hearts of millions of Floridians after the OSU defense recovers just enough from their letdown against Michigan. Ted Ginn takes home the MVP and Troy Smith returns home only to be drafted by his hometown Browns. Sorry, Troy - at least your mantel's full. Ohio State 34, Florida 30.

Well he was pretty close, huh?

SCHADENFREUDE

Am I happy that tOSU got whacked in the National Championship Game? Look up schadenfreude and you might get a clue of how I'm feeling.

Sour grapes? You betcha. But try living in Columbus after a OSU win over Michigan. Try living in Columbus after OSU wins the national championship.
