Oops! I Did It Again!

I'm beginning to believe that this should be the theme song for the BS...I mean the BCS Championship Game. For the second year in a row, the BCS has given us the wrong teams in the championship game.

Last year, everyone was clamoring for a showdown between LSU and USC, instead, we got LSU vs. Oklahoma. LSU dominated and the Sooners went down in flames.

This year it was the "greatest match-up in college football history", undefeated USC vs. undefeated Oklahoma, but the actual game showed it was not the match-up we should have seen. Again, Oklahoma was out played.

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but there seems to be a common factor in these two mismatches...hmmm, what could it be? That's right, OU which shall now be known as "overrated university". How much longer are we gonna have to put up with a team propped up by the media as a champion, only to turn out as a doormat in the "championship game"?

As an SEC fan, I would have loved to see the Auburn Tigers vs. the Trojans last night. Granted, Auburn may not have beaten USC (very impressive last night), but I guarantee it would have been a better match-up than what we saw last night.

If we can't have a true play-off, can we at least get the right two teams in the "championship game"? Sorry, Oklahoma, you've had two chances now...time to give up the media darling crown. Apparently, you are the weakest link...Good bye.

P.S. ROLL TIDE!!! How do we lose to Minnesota?!?! Oh yeah, Pennington is a 3rd string QB!

As if I needed one, the BCS is yet ANOTHER reason why I don't like college football. Long live the NFL!

Ok well, I'm not all gung-ho about all this BCS stuff, but I do agree with the idea of a playoff instead of the current method. I mean, it just makes more sense.

So what about that guy who offered like $50 million to see Auburn & USC play? That's crazy. I'd only offer $25 mil. :-)
