Could this be because, on the College Football timescale their fanbase skews younger, only remembering the recent good times vividly? I could argue that robs them collectively of needed perspective.

I'd say the problem lies more with the continued, close and constant interaction with Miami fans due to rivalries and location (in-state). I'd say it affects all 3 Florida schools to some degree (Florida, FSU and Miami).

Pat Forde: "...it's on the perimeter where LSU should have the edge with a similar speed advantage to what Florida enjoyed last year."
Sweet.

Allstate BCS Championship Game (Jan. 7, 8 p.m., Fox)
LSU vs. Ohio State: Will Ohio State get embarrassed again in the BCS title game? No way. Ohio State doesn't get embarrassed. This is the school that gave us Art Schlichter and Maurice Clarett, after all.
