BCS BS

Somebody tell me how to calm down today. I've tried looking through rose colored glasses, but it's only reminded me of the bowl game I think we should AT LEAST be in....

So, they've concluded the regular season … and the conference championships … and they have picked the two teams to play for the college football championship.

And, again, they got it wrong.

Why?

Because the system is fundamentally flawed.

For example, Ohio State got into the game because the teams above them lost. Georgia, right behind Ohio State, didn't.

Georgia was left out because they didn't win their conference. Never mind that Nebraska (in 2001) and Okalahoa (in 2003) also played for the national championship after not winning their conference.

LSU, who the pollsters said was 3 spots worse than Georgia before Saturday, jumped over Georgia to make it to the title game.

Against Ohio State. Who will get creamed by an SEC team … again … this year.

So, Georgia, who was assured of playing in any BCS bowl game other than the Sugar Bowl … plays in the Sugar Bowl. Against Hawaii. Who the Dawgs will beat by a couple of touchdowns. If not more.

LSU, the second-best team in the SEC plays for the national championship.

Why do I call them the second-best team in the SEC? Because if they played Georgia this Saturday, Georgia would win. You know it. I know it. Mark Richt knows it. And Les Miles knows it.

Ohio State? They'd lose to UGA. And Tennessee. And Florida. And Arkansas. And … will lose to LSU. You know it. I know it. Les Miles knows it. And Jim Tressel knows it. Or will find out soon enough.

But, the pollsters screwing over a quality program for another program? It's happened before.

In 1978 (after the 1977 regular season), Notre Dame, ranked number five, beat number one Texas in the Cotton Bowl, 38-10.

Alabama, ranked number two, beat Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl, 35-6.

So, who ended up number one? Notre Dame.

Why?

Because they were Notre Dame.

Why didn't Alabama move up from number two to number one? Because they weren't Notre Dame.

Same reason Ohio State made the jump from number three to number one. Because they are Ohio State.

Same reason Georgia didn't make the jump from number four to number two. Because they aren't Ohio State.

Oh, well.

Maybe when everything's all said and done, the Dawgs will end up number two.

If West Virginia beats Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

And if Kansas beats Virginia Tech Orange Bowl.

Unless Missouri beats Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl. Or Southern California beats Illinois in the Rose Bowl.

Of course, if they had a playoff…

We are the victims of an elitist media structure controlled by partisan monetary interests. They know the truth but will never defend it. The SEC should secede from the BCS but yankeeboy Slive is in cahoots with these idiots. How the hell did we end up with this moron. Butts, Bryant, Jordan and all the rest are rolling over in their graves.

Miss UGA, noticed that the coach for THE Ohio State University ranked UGA as the sixth best team. Talk about someone living on the slippery slope. I am not nearly as upset with LSU being there as I am with OSU being in the game. They are the darlings of Disney, ABC and ESPN. Keep those ratings up, make that loot. . . . .

Sheez... the crying is so hard that I saw a guy outside building a giant boat and collecting animals...

Everyone take a deep breath and remember that if we had beaten either Tennessee or SC we would've been undisputed East division champs and played LSU for the conference title, won that and played for the BCS championship. The *DAWGS* are the ones who lost to SC and Tennessee, not the elitist media, university presidents, etc. etc. etc. Turn either of those two losses into wins and we aren't left out of the BCS two-step.

No one to blame but ourselves.

And yes, OU and Nebraska have both played in the BCS championship game without winning their conference. Neither of them won, and neither of them ended up even looking deserving.


The amount of bad football karma being generated here is simply unbelievable.

Wow, rxdawgboy, lighten up. This is not crying or whining. This is a bunch of angry fans writing what they think about things. If it's still going on in a week or two, maybe that would be whining, but the first day after getting raped is anger. Yes, you're right, we didn't take care of business, but you forget that neither did LSU, OU, VT, or OSU, so when the BCS set up the rankings to allow us to capitalize and then took another team that didn't take care of business either, well, that's bull. Call it whining if you want--I call it angered support of the team.
