So then...who do we the fans recognize as National Champion? Who goes down in history as the national champion? Officially? If USC wins over Michigan USC and the winner of LSU/Oklahoma. This is why the BCS was formed, to prevent these split nightmares. You could recognize Boise State if you wanted, it's not like anyone can really complain if there isn't a national champion.

Who in the hell put Michigan, Florida State and Maryland on their schedule???

The agreement was the AP would get to vote on the National Champion and they crown the National Champion really So let us say, USC is ranked #1 in the AP Poll but they are ranked #3 in the BCS. So that means LSU vs Oklahoma, a #2 vs #3 in the AP, would be the BCS national title game. If USC was to win, then their is no way the AP would vote USC out of #1 which means the winner of the LSU/OU game would be the BCS National Champion and USC would be the AP POLL National champion.....which is exactly what we had before the BCS. HOWEVER, if USC loses to Michigan then the point is all mute. If USC is ranked #1 in the AP, doesn't go to the main bowl and THEN beats Michigan then the BCS is dead because if failed to do what it was supposed to do.

Oklahoma blew out Texas, which is ranked higher than Kansas State and beat Kansas State. The argument that this is the first team that was tough is incorrect. God, I wanted Oklahoma to lose tonight but that doesn't mean I'm going to say they don't deserve to go because of one loss. If USC is #1 and doesn't go and wins, then the title is split and the BCS will have failed to do what it was designed to do. We are back to square one. And yes, I believe LSU deserves a title shot just as much. It's just a big mess no matter how you slice it. I can't pick one of these three and say so and so is more deserving.

Yeah that's the problem. Stoops is a good coach but he's WAY to cocky and allows himself to be outcoached by the other teams head coach. It didn't help that everyone in the country thought OU was already in the title game and that KState was just a dog team to get rolled over. KState got no love going into that game.

Yeah well...the saddest thing is when your team fucks up in a game that they SHOULD have won. By all means based on OU's performance they should've been all over K-State and destroyed them by 3 touchdowns or so. Instead they were destroyed by 4 touchdowns. I mean I did notice some blatant no calls by the ref's(there was some holding and pass interference that wasn't called and by god that was a first fucking down in the first quarter!!!) but still that didn't excuse the shitty performance that OU put up. They did exactly what was said they had to do to lose. Play like they haven't played all year. *shakes head in disgust* This is Oklahoma. Bombs blowing up buildings, tornado's, and sports teams that choke. Look at OU's basketball team...... Well, if it makes you feel any better, the last Oklahoma football title your team crushed Florida State into a fine powder and then sniffed them off the field. It's not like it has been a long time since OU has won the title. As for basketball, I'm a Florida State fan....they don't even see the tournament for goodness sake. Oklahoma is good in almost every sport, you really will be fine.

As a Cubs fan (dear god) An Orioles fan (let me find that bastard who reached over that wall in New York....) A Florida State fan (WIDE RIGHT!!! WIDE RIGHT!!! YOU SUCK!) A Mavs fan (DEFENSE, dear god play defen....DAMMIT!) A Patriots fan (ahhh...) I can honestly tell you that all you can do is realize it's not that end of the world, it stings at first but when they win the national championship or Super Bowl or World Series or whatever, it is beyond sweetness. So is the life of a sports fan. But if you have a video game console with a college football game, play KState vs Oklahoma and just beat the life out of them in a 60 minute game. Course if you lose that.....well, I am sorry.

You are right Dama, there is no scenario this year. None, zero, not a one that will end with people happy. You'd have USC fans calling foul cause the Trojans aren't in the title game. You have Sooner fans crying foul if they weren't in the title game You have Tigers fans upset that they don't get the shot. This was the worst nightmare for the BCS and I think if they want, they might as well screw all three of them. MICHIGAN VS MIAMI OF OHIO! Then none of them can complain cause they all got screwed ETA: Oh and Dama? Just live with the fact that they are probably bandwagon fans who would join your team in a heartbeat if they win the title. Those that mock are bandwagon fans.

Hmm...would it be a bold prediction to predict the Chiefs going to the Super Bowl? Against Dallas? COWBOYS AND INDIANS!!! Oh, the fun FOX or whoever has the Super Bowl would have trying to avoid the racial use of Cowboys and Indians. Considering last year was the Battle of the Pirate Ships, I think Cowboys and Indians would be oddly sweet.

Dude, the BCS has yet to fail to produce a national champion that everyone agrees on. There hasn't been a split national champion since the 1997 season, the one that forced the BCS to be instituted. I personally like the BCS because of the annual shitstorm that surrounds it as well as, as I said, how it hasn't failed yet. Yeah that sucks that nobody can agree on who the real national champion is. At least in the NFL you know who the champion is. Anyways...this was all summed up in my post 7 ones above this. Dammit people quit no selling me and read it. I am actually thinking about it rationally now. I've come down from my OU fanboy defeat mode. Which one man? The one about if OU crushes so and so? The BCS CAN be bailed out yet again if #1 USC goes down. But if USC wins over Michigan then trouble begins cause if OU CRUSHES LSU then are they undisputed national champions? Personally, I'm glad that this happen so the BCS (which gave one right title game) is exposed for the fraud it is. Imagine if College Basketball was like this? Sweet god, that would be hell on earth.

Is it really that hard? You have Florida State down there, and when Chris Rix is on they are among the best. You have teams like Ohio State, Miami, Miami of Ohio (NEVER count out the MAC), and Kansas State Your automatics this year would have been: Miami (Big East) Florida State (ACC) Miami of Ohio (MAC) Kansas State (Big 12) Michigan (Big Ten) USC (Pac 10) with Oklahoma and more than likely Ohio State or Georiga grabbing that last pick Of those eight teams, you can say you couldn't see one of them as National Champion? As for the time, cut down the schedules by 2 games and then the story is over. Usually these teams play a bunch of goofballs at home that they don't need to schedule. And by goofball I mean Div II opponents that do nothing but come in to get blown out. This isn't difficult and those games would be amazing to watch. It's three games, which is the same number they would play anyway. ETA: Division II and Division III have a 16 team tournament and they do just fine.

Here is the major problem you will see USC will be #1, LSU will be #2 and OU will be #3 Oklahoma (because they are #1 in the BCS) go to the championship game against....LSU. USC goes to face Michigan So what happens if USC wins? Why, mass chaos of course! Basically the BCS will say that the second best team in the Big 12 (Oklahoma IS the second best now, sorry Sooner fans as much as I disagree with my own statement...you guys lost to KState therefore they are the best in the Big 12 by default) is BETTER than the best the Pac 10 has to offer. What does this remind you of? WHY, Miami vs Nebraska while Colorado and Oregon went head to head. Colorado AND Oregon were both ahead of Nebraska (who didn't even GO to their title game IIRC) but the Huskers went and got crushed by the Canes. So the BCS made adjustments, said it wouldn't happen again.....guess what. IF USC wins over Michigan then we would have...SPLIT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. Which means, the BCS just failed for the third time in six tries even after making adjustments. The BCS only works to set up a playoff, that is all it is good for.

Well, might as well get laughed off the planet. The Super Bowl will be the Bengals against the Cowboys with the Bungles no more winning 20-17 in the first ever overtime game. Yeah I know, it has no shot in hell...but the fun if it did. Course, this would mean the Patriots got dunked which would suck as a fan.

Things would be much easier if they just took 16 teams, tossed some of the bigger names bowls in and made a freakin national title tournament! I'd rather be arguing over who is #16 than I would over who is #1 or #2 or #3 this god damn year. It's a joke. Use a mix of BCS and Humans to come up with a way to pick 16 teams for a 16 team single elimination tournament. You can STILL keep the minor bowls, ABC/CBS/ESPN can split the major games and VIOLA we don't have any controvesy. You would have MAC, Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, ACC, and SEC all with automatic bids. The rest is just simple picking the final few teams and using the BCS Bowl computer which ALREADY calculates up to freaking 16 anyway to seed them. Why does the NCAA want to make this out like it's really difficult to do. And if 16 is too many, then cut it down to 8....or 12....or who the hell cares, just do something! It doesn't work, you can tweak it all you want but it doesn't work cause computers don't respect small schools. And the MAC killed this year.

Is the game still on the shelves? Cause frankly, I'd rather have a Crazy Taxi rip-off with the Simpsons than Crazy taxi.

No, not really.

Hmmm......is there anything on the back of the Cena shirt?

Sadly, his size probably didn't help matters as not many big men seem to get past 40 to begin with. RIP

Ummm....since an Angel got its wings? Hell if I know. At least people sorta know who he is...the guy that lost to Chyna. *sigh* So yeah, Nathan Jones was fired eh. Well, that's nice.

What hot women? The Raiderettes are decent this year at best, Jenna looked like a crack whore and the two hottest females were the wrestling females.

Now, I don't watch, but hasn't the owner's kid been either the champion or the number one contender for basically the entire run? And this is different from the WWE right now....how exactly? Oh right, it's a son in LAW in the WWE. And Shane did what that no one else was supposed to be able to do? Kick Kane's ass? Look, I understand TNA has been complete crap from the reports I've read (see: read, not seen so I may be 100% wrong) but using the "son" excuse as a reason it's bad when the WWE has Stephanie set as the top face for awhile on Smackdown there, Vince as the top heel and son in law Triple H has the main heel and always #1 contender on Raw...I don't think we WWE fans can say a god damn thing to TNA about the son thing. And by that same standard, TNA fans can't say anything about WWE running the company based on Nepotism and holding down more worthy people. Basically, yeah. But at least TNA can use the building a company excuse with the sad state of affairs that Jeff is still the one and only name name right now while the WWE's only excuse is....umm.... Christ, I need another wrestling promotion on my tv. This is getting pathetic. Neither one of them is worth a damn.

How can you all be celebrating this!!! Who do we laugh at on Smackdown now??? Who I ask you ?!?! This is terrible news, Smackdown without Nathan Jones is like RAW without Jeff Hardy. Who is going to botch every move? Butcher promos? Make Chuck Palumbo seem talented !?!?

Well, let's see. First the earth cooled. And then the dinosaurs came, but they got too big and fat, so they all died and they turned into oil. And then the Arabs came and they bought Mercedes Benzes. And oddly enough, the WWE followed the same above formula if you really think about as long and as hard as I did.

Actually, the Russo based team seemed to be "ok, here is the general idea we are giving you. Now you either run with it and make it into something yourself or pick up your paycheck at the door." He gave them the freedom to either make or break themselves, which Austin pointed out allowed guys like him and Rock to get themselves over because they weren't handcuffed by fully written speeches. It seems according to Austin, the company was much better under the "improv yourself" run of the Russo led group. When guys aren't handcuffed and aren't worried that some writer is going to screw them up, they are more relaxed and basically let themselves go more in the ring. You just don't see that anymore in any of the wrestlers. Plus being told to slow down your ringwork or change your style can't help a guy's morale when you ship him to house shows and dark matches cause "he's not as good as he used to be." How many times have we read "creative doesn't know what to do with him" lately? It needs to be said, these losers writing aren't very creative then.
