We all know the national championship is decided on the field. No, not the actual gridiron -- but on the sidelines.

That's right, we're talking about the cheerleaders. Would LSU be in the title game without the sultans of school spirit? We don't think so. What about Oklahoma? You can bet that Kansas State outcheered them in the Big 12 Championship.

Who's the best of the bunch of pom poms? Page 2's Cheerleading Board of Governors recently convened and after an exhaustive analysis involving MTV's "Camp Jim", one of those watch-calculators, Chili's Queso Dip and some coin flipping came up the the same eight teams as the BCS standings -- go figure.

So, it looks like the folks from USC will have a shot at the national title after all. And the Buckeyes get to defend the crown without the help of Mr. Clarett. Vote away! It's the finals. It's the Page 2 Bowl Cheerleader Series. Ready? OK!
