We shouldn't have a Title game this year. Ohio State clearly is the best team. Give the BCS credit for determining that. hehe.

Whether or not we believe Florida, or Michigan, or (insert team) deserved to play for the title, we have to realize the BCS coordinators COULD NOT allow Michigan and Ohio State to play for the title game. The commissioners claim that a playoff would deminish the weight and importance of the regular season, which they claim to be the most important regular season in sports. With this in mind, a rematch would make that BIG game two weeks ago in Columbus perfectly MEANINGLESS. If Michigan were to win, they'd both be 12-1 and 1-1 against each other, but Michigan would take the crown. So, the game that was touted as the biggest regular season confrontation in many a year had what kind of importance?? If this "game of the young century" is meaningless, so is the entire premise of the BCS' purpose. There is no way in hell the BCS officials will let that happen if they can help it. All I can say is, they are VERY lucky and happy Arkansas' Fish moronically fumbled that punt near the goalline, changing the entire complexion of the game. If that doesn't happen, WE WIN and get a playoff VERY soon.

I firmly believe Florida deserves a shot at the National Championship. I firmly believe Michigan deserves a shot at the National Championship. I also firmly believe that LSU, USC, Louisville, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Wake Forest, and heck, even Arkansas, etc., deserve a shot at the National Title. That's the problem. In this modern era of parity in college football, two-loss seasons are often GREAT seasons. Yet, the structure now is NO different than 30 years ago when there was far greater disparity in the ranks. A "plus one" format will still be problematic. Which two-loss team do you choose? LSU, USC, Oklahoma? They all have arguments. Or would you take a one loss Louisville? (The nation would scream if Wisconsin got in for three Big 10 schools out of four.)
