As usual, this is a mess. Why LSU and Oregon? Because from what I've seen, they're the two best teams in the country. Ohio State won, but was gifted a pair of turnovers in the final stanza when they were down 17-10 at home. After that its pretty self explanatory. Kansas gets a boost from absolutely mauling Nebraska, and you know it felt good for the Jayhawks to return that favor and being on the other end for so many years. Even so, they've got three more games to prove this isn't a fluke.
