This saves me time...
So I was going to write on this myself, but I see Jim Rome has already taken care of it for me....
So the BCS has done the one thing that it was created to prevent. It has given us a split National Championship, evidence that the system does not work. I loved all the BCS honks calling the show before the end of the year, saying, the system works perfectly, it’s doing what it’s designed to do. Wrong. It’s designed to prevent a split National Championship, and that is exactly what we have. Remember, the system was put in place in 98 after Nebraska and Michigan split the title in 97, so it failed to do the one thing it was created to do. It doesn’t work.
And I don’t buy this garbage about their being two deserving teams, so it’s all good. It’s not. No. I agree they are the two best teams in America, but i would have liked to have seen them play, instead of the second best team from the big 12. Besides, no one is asking the Florida Marlins to share their world series title with the Yankees. The San Antonio Spurs didn’t have to share their the world title with the Lakers. The Tampa Bay Bucs didn’t split their Super Bowl title with anyone. That’s why you play a long season, to crown a champion. Otherwise, what’s the point
USC delivered a nice beatdown on Michigan in the Rose Bowl, and finished number one in the AP poll. The coaches, who had USC number one before the bowl season, will roll over and award LSU their title because they’re contractually obligated to. Bottom line, and LSU fan, who is already battling a wicked hangover isn’t going to like to this: you’re a helluva team: great defense, great coach, great effort: but USC is the National Champion: they were ranked number one in both polls going into the bowl season, and they smacked the 4th ranked team in their bowl game: they should be number one. Michigan could have bailed out the BCS honks, but thankfully didn’t: number two should not play number three for the right to be number one.
