The biggest loser in this entire BCS thing is the Big 10... but not really... They have 1 team, why do they feel they might need 2? Especially 2 teams that already played???
The Big 10 is misnamed anyway because they really have 11 teams. Why not tell Notre Dame to stop being a pain in everyone's ass and just join the Big 10. You can still call it "The Big 10"... they've done it with 11 teams so why not 12? Then, the Big 10 can join the BIG BOYS and have a Championship Game. Wouldn't that be nice?
That way, instead of crying because you didn't play for 2 weeks, you would have played yesterday and people wouldn't have forgotten how good you might just be. See, if they had that and put Michigan and Ohio State in different Divisions then they would have played again on Saturday. Michigan would have gotten another shot on a netural turf and it would have made sure that the true Big 10 Champ was in the BCS Game.
See... always solving the problems!
Okay, so I found out at 8:15pm that the Gators jumped Michigan to get the nod for the National Championship game in Glendale, AZ on Jan. 8th.
I do not think that this has totally sunk in yet. I think that all the buzz about the BSC and how much crap it is just really has taken over and one of my best buds went to Michigan so obviously one of us was going to be pretty pissed at the end of the day.
Here are the reasons why I think it should be Florida in the game (even though I think the BCS is idiotic and needs to be burned)...
1. SEC Champs - Michigan was not their conference champ and the title game should have conference champs only
2. Toughest schedule in the country
3. It is not a rematch
4. Always found ways to win (screw so called "style points")
I know all of those might not be good reasons, but there it is. The "people" have spoken and this is what we get.
I have solved the problem of the BCS, but that's for another blog.
For now, I will sit and wait over a month to see what happens. It is going to drive me crazy and I'll do a lot of thinking and pining and pacing... and that's why I'm going to die at a young age.
At the moment, "It's Great to be a Florida Gator!!!"
Okay, so we're coming down to the end of the season and I just have this feeling that the Gators will be screwed. See, there is this horrible thing called the BCS that is going to probably screw at least 2 teams.
Pretty much the Gators could beat FSU and win the SEC Championship (which most consider to be the toughest conference in college football) and finish 12-1 and be left out of the big game. I have to admit that while we might not be the number 1 team in all the land, I think we'd have a better shot of beating Ohio State than Michigan would playing them again. Pretty much Ohio State and Troy Smith just tour apart the secondary of Michigan... The Gators have a MUCH better secondary and would never allow the big plays to happen that Michgian let get through.
What hurts is that FSU sucks... they normally are good and then it looks like a big win but that is not the case this year AT ALL!
Not sure if a win over Arkansas will garner enough BCS "bonus points" to get into the big game.
There is also the problem of the USC/Notre Dame game... If USC wins then it's a big win for them and would probably put them into the Championship... but if Notre Dame wins then do they jump UF and UM? Michigan killed ND earlier so that wouldn't be fair for them to go instead of Michigan. But, again, what about Florida?
Guess we'll wait and see. One day someone will figure out that a playoff will get rid of all this craziness... but not sure if that'll be in the next 10 years??? It has always been a problem and there are still people who think it works just fine and that's just wrong!
Guess the Gators have to take it one game at a time and see how it all plays out? Go Gators!
