    Regarding #4, Tommie Frazier would like a word with you.

    @Dashiell Bennett: Two national titles, three-time National Championship game MVP (including one over Charlie Ward in 1993), and a lifetime 33-3 recond.


    And ... this:

    If Tim Tebow beats Oklahoma to win his second national championship in three years there's no doubt he's the greatest player of the BCS era.


    Tim Tebow was the backup on the 2006 title team. In his first year as the Gators' starter, he lost more games than Matt Leinart lost as a starter in his entire college career. But since he played most of his games outside of the southeast, which is apparently the only place that college football happens, I suppose he doesn't count.

    I think the BCS selection committee is purposely making tOSU the symbol of everything wrong with the BCS every season until the Big 10 finally gets sick of it and agrees to a playoff.


    Maybe, as an tOSU fan, I'm just tired of being the symbol of the all the BCS's shortcomings, because there's absolutely no reason tODU should be playing in a BCS bowl over Boise St., other than "They'll make the most money", and everyone knows it.

    Ok, BCS fans, what was the most memorable bowl game of the BCS era?


    Correct, the Boise State/OK game. Which DIDN'T feature two 2 losses big conference schools.

    SEC game was a sick game to be at. So much fun. Too bad the tailgating weather sucked (for someone from the south).


    I'm pretty psyched for the title game (even though Miami is a crappy place to be going)

    I understand the mechanisms behind it, but if we're stuck with the BCS, can they at least try to make the nonchampionship bowls more entertaining?


    Instead of Texas and Alabama, we get Alabama/Utah and Texas/OSU

    The system clearly works. Look at that important San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl featuring undefeated Boise St playing just one day before football powerhouse Notre Dame gets to prove why they deserve to be in Hawaii.

    Does anyone notice that Doug Flutie does studio analysis like he played football -- with no concern for the people working with him or the integrity of the game. From his hideous wardrobe to the fact that he looks like he hates Craig James guts, it is bizarre and beautiful at the same time.

    How many times did Tim Tebow say "Let's Go!" after he scored that touchdown? I counted at least 25 in a one minute span.

    I for one long for the days when a BYU or Miami could come out of nowhere and win the national title by virtue of an undefeated season. Utah and Boise State got robbed. If they played for the title, it would be a far better game than Florida/Oklahoma and betetr for DI football too.


    Screw the BCS. Playoff now!

    The reason they are undefeated is due to their schedule, not the quality of their team.

    @Matt_T: The point is, back in the 80s, BYU and Miami didn't play A+ competition but still got a shot the title by virtue of winning out. We'll never know. Fla, TX, OK don't have the guts to schedule decent non-conference opponents. Cmon, is any team that beat the Citadel any more worthy than an undefeated MWC champ?

    @ghostsoftheSCupcountry: The BCS is better than what happened in the 80s. Under the old bowl system, USC and Texas never would have played in 2005 and neither would have Miami and Ohio State in 2003.


    Is it perfect? No, but to say that Utah and Boise State deserve a shot over Florida and Oklahoma (or Texas or Texas Tech) just because they are undefeated is silly.

    But that Oklahoma team was there for winning the Big 12, not because they were one of the top 2 teams that year.
