The first piece of the BCS puzzle has been revealed and LSU appears to be a good bet to join Ohio State in the national championship game. The coaches poll released Sunday had Ohio State as a comfortable No. 1, which was no surprise. The Buckeyes received 46 first-place votes and 1,469 points. LSU, the Southeastern Conference champions which less than two weeks ago lost for the second time, was a solid No. 2 in the coaches poll. The Tigers had 1,418 points. The Bowl Championship Series uses the coaches poll, the Harris poll and a compilation of computer ratings to determine which teams play in the national title game on Jan. 7 in New Orleans.
