mm hmm, except for you know, this entire season and this specific matchup.

It's remarkable how the media has repainted the OSU-UF buildup. While OSU was the favorite (due to their far more consistent play during the year), they were not hailed as an unbeatable dynasty like USC or Miami. Most who picked OSU did so by about 7 pts.

LSU-Arkansas may not have been a crazy game, in that LSU lost. But you really can't hold it against Mark May for picking LSU to win it. Same with West Virginia to beat Pitt.

Don't get me wrong - I've never really liked hearing Mark May talk. I don't care if he's talking about Ohio State or whoever, he just doesn't seem to be very credible to me. And the problem that I see is that I get the feeling that ESPN wants him to be the credible one. It's my opinion that Lou Holtz has taken the position of "Mr. Out-There," saying all kinds of nutty things. That's fine with me, because I can't usually understand him, anyway. Besides, he's really just a TV personality. He can be compared to Lee Corso. Just have him say crazy stuff to rally the troops for or against him, and he'll make ratings.

But that would make Mark May the Kirk Herbstreit counter-part. And that's very insulting to Herbie. While Kirk Herbstreit, who definitely is not always correct, sounds intelligent in his break-down of the game, Mark May does not. I get the feeling that his emotions get too much into the game, and that he believes that his predictions actually affect the outcome.
