Wells' Injury May Keep BCS Hopes Alive

It might sound like advising a Red Sox fan root for the Rays, a Duke fan to cheer on North Carolina, or Tank Johnson to vote for gun control.

But Ohio State fans, be glad Chris Wells is out. Celebrate that all is not Wells for the Buckeyes. Cheer the fact that he's out like you're Elijah Dukes receiving the one paternity test that reveals you're not the father.

Yes, in Saturday's game against Southern Cal, you might lose the battle so badly that it seems like a directive of the Bush administration, but you might win the war when it comes time to select the BCS national title participants.

Chris Wells' injury is your get out of jail free card. Feel free to beat Chris Henry back with a cattle prod.

Before Wells' injury, Saturday's tilt with Southern Cal was an absolute must-win for the Buckeyes if they hoped to make a third straight national title game. Sure, the Buckeyes might've won out and finished 11-1 even with a loss, but even if they finished No. 2 in the polls at the conclusion of the Big Ten regular season, the Jonas Brothers have a better chance getting elected into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame than Ohio State has of earning a third straight BCS title bid. John Daly would've replaced Jared in Subway ads before anybody thought twice about bumping the Buckeyes down in the polls.

After all, voters showed no qualms jumping LSU up last year and, plainly, the Buckeyes have two straight embarrassments in national championship games and a team brand about as hip as Joe Paterno's phonograph collection.
