Yay, the BCS works [sarcasm]

Quarterback Matt Flynn threw two of his four touchdown passes while guiding the Tigers on four consecutive scoring drives in the first half. The run paved the way for LSU to capture its second national championship in four years and first in three seasons under coach Les Miles. The Tigers defeated Oklahoma 21-14 in the Superdome for the 2003 national title. It was the fourth time this season LSU rallied from a 10-point deficit.

"We had to keep playing," Flynn said of the early hole the Tigers were in. "We knew they were going to come out with a big surge. We knew we just had to stay in there and keep playing our game."

So, are we done with Ohio State yet? I think the Buckeyes are a solid program but they've had two shots to reign supreme and whiffed hard on both. Each time there were other teams waiting in the wings, claiming that they should have gotten a chance at the title. Last year the Buckeyes deserved to play for the title. This year, not so much. Georgia and USC, are at least two teams that should have been playing in this game.

This brings us back to the same old argument about a playoff system. Let's face it, it's not going to happen. College football is to wrapped up in it's own traditions, and more importantly, the tons of money those traditions generate.

All the good ole Bowl games that people like Brent Musberger and Lee Corso know and love are dead. First off, there's 32 effin games. Simple math shows that 64 teams play, which is over half the D1 teams. How special can a bowl game be when there are teams at .500 playing. The conference affiliation to bowl games is gone. When the Rose Bowl tried to revive the old Pac 10 vs. Big 10 rivalry with USC/Illinois, it was a disaster in terms of what happened on the field.

My favorite excuse against the playoff system is "the kids have to prepare for finals, they're student/athletes." That makes me chuckle as 30+ FSU students are suspended for cheating, and we watch countless recruits roll around in $50,000 SUV's and sport diamond earrings.
