Boy was I wrong

This year's NCAA football season has been upside down to say the least. My pick of a USC-Virginia Tech national title game is all but washed away.

This year has been so crazy that Kansas -- Kansas! -- is still undefeated after dropping a 76-point bomb on Big 12 stalwart Nebraska.

Do I think Ohio State is the best team in the country? Not by a long shot because they haven't been challenged in their conference. Now I know OSU are steamed by that, but I'm a fan of the Big Ten and I don't want to see the Buckeyes cruise to the title game only to get the doors blown off again.

The best team in the nation right now is probably LSU. The way they have survived the minefield that is the SEC and been able to maneuever themselves back into BCS contention is remarkable.

Another team that should be getting more credit is Oregon. Here's a team that barely lost to Cal, but beat USC and previously unbeaten Arizona State last week. The Ducks have arguably the Heisman frontrunner in quarterback Dennis Dixon and they are extremely fun to watch.

I think a LSU-Oregon title game would be fantastic. However, for that to happen, Michigan must beat Ohio State...and we all know Lloyd Carr hasn't been able to do that in a while.
