The BCS generally deserves the cone of shame for its bone headed policy of voting for the top two teams, I'm not sure there hasn't been a year without major controversy in its choices. It's simply a disaster, year after year, and everyone other than the BCS sponsors knows it.
This year, the cone of shame can be worn equally. The BCS, thoroughly embarrased by last year's shellacking of Bama by Utah (not playing Utah against Floriduh), puts the two unbeaten non BCS teams in a bowl against each other so we won't know how common the SEC really is.
Then, through an amazing quirk, the Texas star QB gets hurt in the first series of the game and we get a dud. Even against a Freshman QB, who had played 29 prior downs in his life, the oh so great SEC team had it's lead cut to 3 points with two minutes to go. Hang the cone of shame on Bama. I don't think anyone (other than SEC shills) saw the better team win.
Embarrassing.
I did enjoy the lambasting of your pathetic buzzy bees.......Iowa = Genius offense.
As for the "better team", the trophy and the title are awarded to the WINNING TEAM, a fact you wouldn't be expected to know.
Helpful Hint: SEC teams Florida, LSU, Florida again and Alabama won the National Championship the last four seasons. "Big" 10 sweater wearing, glitter helmeted, do-over whiners did not. End of story--until the "big" 10 flops again next season.
