Miami catches 1 of 2 passes and doesnt commit 2 (semi questionable) penalties and its a 13-10 ball game going into the 4th Quarter against Notre Dame :/

Well Georgia played like crap as always in big games. I don't get excited nor do I even care too much about the Dawgs unlike most people in this state. Overrated program really. Can't win a big game for anything.
Even in the supposed "Glory" years with Herschel they lost. When he was a Freshman they snuck up on people and grinded out wins. The next 2 seasons, they lost the big games. Other than that, when they had good teams Florida would beat them. South Carolina is a good football team though.

What a game!! Ohio State wins! Down 22-14 with a minute to play. Guiton leads a 60 yard drive with the 2-pt. conversion to tie it, and they win it 29-22 in OT. 8-0!!

After two of the worst losses in recent memory, my Nittany Lions have won five straight. O'Brien has polished McGloin into a semi-competent QB. Sucks that all this talent like Robinson and Belton will probably be gone next year though.

Ohio State 9-0! Woo!
A bit of sad news out of SC though. Report on RB Marcus Lattimore says he broke his femur and patella, and tore the ACL, MCL, PCL, AND LCL. Other words, his knee is mush now.

Lattimore injury was by far the nastiest injury Ive ever seen. I watched Willis McGahee knee injury in the Nat'l Title game and this was MUCH worse!!

I just spent 45 mins arguing with an Oregon fan as to why they dont deserve to play for a National Championship (in either the BCS format, or a playoff format)....Im convinced some people really dont get it.

College football fans can be tough to deal with. It is one of the many reasons I am not completely crazy about it. For some fans, I guess it is the only football they got which adds to it.
Tough loss for UGA, If the Falcons would have lost like that in a semifinal game I would be devastated, and so pissed. I don't have this fairy tale romantic made up vision of UGA like many people in the state, so the loss isn't so tough. Same problems that have plagued them for a long time is why they lost.
Congrats to Alabama, you rush for 350 yards you generally win the game.

I'm not an Oregon fan, but they are definitely a BCS Championship caliber team. No doubt about it.

Well Stanford *could* have an argument since they're conference champions.

But all those teams you just mentioned have two losses except Florida. Oregon has one loss, in overtime, because of their idiot kicker. I know that in the current system you are correct in saying they don't "deserve" to be in it, but that is why the current system needs to be changed.

I know that in the current system you are correct in saying they don't "deserve" to be in it, but that is why the current system needs to be changed. But how do you change it to not contradict yourself? The kicker to everything is people last year were bitching/complaining about how Alabama shouldnt be allowed to play for a Nat'l Title because they didnt even win their own conference. Its not a new argument either, in 2001 people complained that Nebraska shouldnt play for the Nat'l Title because they didnt win the Big 12...However, now that "mighty Oregon" gets manhandled by Stanford, everyone wants a playoff system that takes the top 6-8 teams so that a team like Oregon, whom didnt win their Division little less their Conference, can play for a Nat'l Title. Ive stood by the fact that you need to build the Big 12 back into a "Superior" conference with 12 teams and a championship game. Then you have a 6 team tournament. 4 BCS Conference winners (SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12) and then 2 "Automatic Qualifiers/Wild Cards" That could be the ACC Champ, the Big East Champ etc etc or Independent Notre Dame/BYU/Navy...Whomever the two highest ranked teams are. This way you would avoid all conflicts of not having a Non conference winner in the game, with the "wild card" spot you wouldnt have any uproar over a team like Boise St not getting their shot and costing a team that plays in a "BCS Conf" a chance. On top of that, if you roll the playoff games around the States at Larger NFL stadiums, you open the chances up of having teams that dont make the playoffs like Oregon to go to the Rose Bowl and it lets the NCAA "double dip" as they're getting a Rose Bowl game as well as a Playoff. Just my little rant.

Just my little rant. We can go so many ways with a playoff system but you would still have teams bitching they didn't make it and we're out. If the playoff system started now, couple of teams would not get in. This year we got lucky and did not have 4 teams undefeated as projected in the last couple of weeks and that would have been a mess.

I just dont think you can put up much of an argument by using Conf Champions. That's like saying the Bears didnt make the playoffs last year (because they didnt win their division) but were a better team then say, the Broncos who did. The Broncos still won what they had to win to get to the playoffs. Its also the same criteria that the NCAA uses for Basketball, Conference champions get automatic bids into the NCAA Tournament.
