Now that the heat has cooled and your blood pressure has hopefully returned to normal, let's take a look at this BCS mess. If there was ever a time for the NCAA to seriously consider some type of playoff system in college football, that time has arrived. After LSU methodically dismantled Ohio State 38-24 in a game that was not nearly as close as the score would indicate, no less than 4 teams began stating their case for a claim to the National Championship. As an ex-athlete, I find it extremely difficult to understand being "awarded" a championship. Now regardless of personal feelings according to the rules, the coaches are obligated to vote LSU the National Champion. Champions are determined on the field of play. Talk to the players at Georgia, or West Virginia, or Kansas, or USC, and ask them whose the best team in the country. I guarantee you'll get 4 different answers. By now, everyone in fannation knows how I feel about Ohio State. But just think Buckeyes, you would never again have to hear, "they shouldn't have been there in the 1st place."

LSU- 4 Penalty's 36 yards
OSU- 7 for 89 yards
Both teams punted 3 times

Seems to me that it WAS close, and OSU just beat themselves.

Ohio State should have been there. It's not their fault that the Big Ten remains to be a conference of Ohio State, Michigan, and everybody else.

31 UNANSWERED POINTS. That's the statistic that made the game essentially a blowout. The game was in control and Ohio State made some desparation plays.

I think a playoff scenario makes the most sense, something like the NFL where the top two teams get a bye. Parity in the NCAAs will continue to produce regular season upsets and so the likelihood of one or two clear cut top teams will become less and less likely. Moreover, the pollsters and computers put too much stock in the wins/losses category. Let's go to a 6 team playoff with the #1 and #2 teams being given bye weeks - AND - add in a site clause that allows the BCS championship game to be moved with 1 months notice to prevent a 'virtual home game' situation (USC in the Rose Bowl, yeah - I know they lost (snicker snicker) or LSU in the Dome). Even with this modest playoff you're still going to have teams #7 and #8 arguing that they're as good as #5 and #6 and maybe better than #4. But it's a start. Oh yes, one more absolutely essential clause - ONLY CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS (or co-champions) ELIGIBLE FOR BCS. TIme to join a conference Nutty Dame and start playing a legitimate schedule - no more 3 sure wins against the service academies (God Bless NAVY but it was the first win in 38 YEARS!!!) plus a few teams like Eastern Polytechnic School for the Blind - get ND outta BCS consideration and bowl $.
