NEW ORLEANS - Meet the Ohio State Buckeyes, college football’s version of the Buffalo Bills.
Check that.
The Buffalo Bills.
Sound familiar?
The Ohio State University.
That’s what Ohio State was left with after Monday night’s bitter 38-24 defeat at the hands of LSU in the BCS Championship Game.
Another round of bad jokes.
Another fast start.
Another fading finish.
Another crunching loss to the SEC champion.

“It hurts tremendously,’’ Ohio State running back Chris “Beanie’’ Wells said. “To go to the national-championship game two times and lose them both, it’s incredible.’’
But oh so true.

Florida 41, Ohio State 14. The Buckeyes managed 82 total yards and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Troy Smith played in a fog.
Monday night, on the game’s fourth play from scrimmage, Wells roared for a 65-yard touchdown and the Buckeyes tacked on a field goal during their next possession.
Guess what?
LSU promptly scored on its next four possessions. It opened the second half with another touch
