BCS....What we have learned.....it sucks...make it go away....

Well, we are here to comtemplate the fate of the football season that was 2007.

What I have learned from this year is that I am thankful that I dont gamble on a routine basis, and that if you want to know who really knows whats going on in College Football, its Vegas....Vegas has been on the money, if ya dont count about 15 times this past season where the #2 team kept getting 10 mins of fame, then got beat on ESPN on a regular basis it seemed by unranked opponents....Alabama went out on a high note, still need to find a way to put teams away, we can jump out to a 27 point lead for one half, then do nothing but let the other team come back when we should be trying to run up the score... Florida played an inspired Michigan team (Lloyds last stand) and forgot to bring their secondary with them...The Heisman curse didnt affect Tebow as much as it affected the defense.....kinda like the Brady Bunch in Hawaii when Greg finds that idol that brings them bad luck......Speaking of bad luck and Hawaii, Colt Brennan and his overrated team got the beat down of their lives by Georgia in the first of many bowl blowouts, courtesy of the BCS...I think Colt may have lacerated his spleen and may have to donate a kidney after that game, it was painful me to watch...He would have been better off if he was running from 4 guys driving Hondas chasing and hitting him in a Walmart parking lot than behind that O-Line....My take after that game is that Samoans cant pick up the blitz, or they lose all their superhuman strength on the flight over, unless June Jones made them swim over...every time I hear the name June Jones, I instantly think "Cult Leader"....and his cult didnt know how to block...After the Michigan game, I watched USC try to kill those poor guys from Illinois.....why they were there and not Georgia or Mizzou, I guess we will never know, but Illinois vs Hawaii and USC vs Georgia/Mizzou, or even Georgia vs Mizzou, would have been more entertaining than the matchups that we were forced to painfully watch..Watching a great college team beat up on a very good high school team in a bowl isnt right.....

Then there was the Stoopid Bowl, REDUX x 4.......I have two words for Bob Stoops----Owen Schmidtt.....the result of some WFV labratory genome project where they crossed a wild boar with a rhino and a human and this guy was the result, who essentially broke the game open for the Mountaineers, who were playing without a head coach, but were playing FOR the hopes Stewart would BE the new head coach...somehow, just like in the Arkansas game, a fullback breaks free and as the announce described it, "like a runaway beer truck", Owen was rumbling to the end zone. Then after a failed 2 point conversion after a score, Stoops tries an onside kick, and gives WFV only 40 yrds to score, which they did on the next play. And then Noel Devine and Pat White, with their new "Jumper" offense, scored at will and often...They actually bend time and space, and during the NBC broadcast, I thought the "Jumper" show was about this offense because ever time a little promo would pop up for the show, you would see Pat White or Noel Devine on the screen...

Now to the big game...LSU vs Ohio State....

Both of these teams took 2 entirely different paths to get here, some with luck and balls, and some by taking an easier path than most....

LSU battled thru the SEC, week in and week out, had a tougher schedule than tOSU, incurred injury after injury, and even started a backup QB in the SEC championship game and still manage to get to the MNC game. Since Georgia didnt play in the SEC championship game, they couldnt go although they were playing good football and were ranked higher than LSU intially.

If Georgia would have taken care of business against USCe and Tenn, its a non issue. The sins of your past, no matter how great the present in the BCS,will always haunt you. Another thing that kinda puzzles me, the Big 10 doesnt play a championship game. But yet they can reap benefits by not doing so, and it can count against someone who does? WTF? So they play all their games, finish the season 2 weeks earlier since they didnt have a bye week, sit back and let all the other teams eliminate themselves from contention since several were knocked off by conference rivals and in their championship game...Idle is the way to go!!! Mizzou handles Kansas and then OU handles Mizzou, WFV falls to Pitt, and boom---tOSU is #1....

While LSU has to go play one more game.....That my friends, is why I think for sure tOSU, isnt the best team in the country, and I'm pretty sure USC could beat LSU or tOSU....

If tOSU wins, its by 3 points or less, if LSU wins, its by 6 pts or more.....I think LSU has more talent, but are undisciplined in many areas of the game.....tOSU looks to me if you stop the run, you stop them cold....If LSU can turn their playmakers loose early, they should jump out to a early lead and force tOSU to throw, and I think with the pressure Dorsey and the crew should be able to put on the QB, should throw his timing off and should be able to win a hard fought game. tOSU needs to win this one to show that last year was a fluke. LSU needs to win this one for the good of college football and all that is sacred, if they dont, watch all the Athletic directors start scheduling creme puffs for every game to go undefeated with a little help from their conference rivals, they too see the big dollars a BCS bowl brings, why not? It may work for tOSU........
