As the debate over the official BCS results started to heat up Sunday evening, I glanced at a nearby TV monitor and saw the Seahawks and Broncos about to kick off.

It was one of the more meaningful matchups of Week 13 in the NFL, but the stakes weren't nearly as high as they had been when USC and Florida took the field in college games the previous day. So, I started thinking, "How much different would a game like this be if the NFL decided its championship the same way college football does?"

I am pulling for Boise St. (or one of the lower division teams) to finish unbeaten after the bowl season.

Then I will declare said unbeaten team(s) NATIONAL CHAMPIONS and develop a win-loss logic tree that fits.

For the fans of the big state schools, save your "D-II team did not play anybody arguments" ---> run your football team with fewer/no scholarships and see how you do.

It's great BSU will get the chance to play in a BCS bowl and prove their worth. Should be a great game vs. OU.
