And The Award Goes To... | Hllywd's Blog

11:35 PM ET 01.09 | 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."
