48 hours ....and some change....


Okay as I write this..kickoff is a mere 53 hours away.....


Long time since August.... the improbable.... two losses in triple overtime...the win against Tenn-uh-cee for the SEC Championship....then the unthinkable... a very bad Pitt team taking out West Virginia.... that's the BCS....weird some may say....but it does bring us to where we are....#2 LSU vs. #1 OSU. A rematch of sorts that has stewed since then late 80's. If you were there during the Archer years your remember those two games....a damn Tie in Tiger Stadium .....then the next year the choke job by Archer's team in the last 3 minutes giving up two TDs. I want revenge.... ...but enough of that ....take the game for what it is..... the Crowning of the BCS Champion.


So you say you don't like the BCS...here's what life would be if the BCS had not come about..... LSU would not have been the NC in 2003..... and friggin USC would have about ten more ...here's why...... without the BCS you'd have the traditional bowl matchups in the following:



  1. Rose Bowl - Pac-10 vs. Big 10 (Eleven) Would have been USC vs OSU

  2. Sugar Bowl - SEC vs. Big Least/ACC. Would have been LSU vs W... Va./Va. Tech

  3. Cotton - Big 12 vs. Notre Dame...haaahaaaa... Chokelohoma would have maybe won that one.

  4. Fiesta - ACC vs ?

So you'd have the media enamored every flipping year over the Rose Bowl as it used to be (well Brent Musberger and ESPN/ABC/ Disnet still are). There'd be no chance for the SEC to win a NC unless they were undefeated... think about it....the last time was in the early 90's when the Bama Cheaters beat the Miami Convicts in the Sugar Bowl. There's been no undefeated SEC teams since.....(well except some Cheating Allbarn teams that were either not allowed to go due to probation or finished behind two other undefeated teams - 2004 ..3 Auburn,2 Texas, 1 USC..... no BCS that year and USC beats OSU and wins the NC....instead of getting beaten by #2 Texas due to the BCS matchup).....



So you'd be hearing 5 Pete Carroll all over ESPN right now ...and you'd be purchasing all your Sugarl Bowl paraphanalia after LSU beat Va. Tech for the second time this season in the sugar bowl...



I prefer this system.... at least until they figure out a playoff that includes every conference having a championship game...and destroying the ROSE Bowl once and for all......
