The BCS is pure junk and has to go. If the other divisions in college footbball can have a playoff, Div 1 can also. Get rid of this crap.

Georgia got screwed.
Kansas got screwed.
It’s all about money. LSU in a title game in Louisiana? Think that will draw? There will be no playoff in Div IA, or whatever they call it now. The reason is simple, you posted this, you’re interested, and irritated. What the NCAA wants more than anything is money. Interested fans = money.
Now let us begin 40 days of hearing how great LSU and the SEC is, and how Ohio State doesn’t deserve to be in any bowl game let alone the NC. The underdog has won 7 of 9 BCS NC games.
Shoulda been Kansas.
If the Dawgs can perform well in their Bowl game, maybe the AP voters can crown them national champs...
October 25, 2008, Baton Rouge. LA, Georgia at LSU. Mark that day.
I hate the BCS also but, your Bulldogs better put this behind them and start thinking about Hawaii. (remember Boise St./OU)
What amazes me is that there are people that can defend it w/ a straight face.
LSU is the ONLY major conference team to not lose a game this year in regulation.
Hawaii gets the BOHICA bowl for teams not in ‘bcs conferences’
ping...
“I would venture that Oklahoma, USC or Georgia would smash either, particularly a weak LSU team that needed a desperation interception at the end of the game Saturday evening vs Tennessee to clinch that win.”
I agree. I think this year is the best example yet of why there should be playoffs.
BTW, no offense to Illinois, but I believe the real reason that Georgia was not chosen for the Rose Bowl was because that game would upstage the “championship” game. The BCS is a joke.
The only reason GA beat the Gators is that Tebow was injured.
Comiung in late here but LSU and Ohio state are the two teams I’d bet on in a head to head match up with anyone else so that, from my perspective makes them the two best teams and thus the teams that should be in the championship game.
But I’d prefer we just went back to the bowls - I liked the debate better.
There has been a true Division 1 National Champion for football. You don't become a champion of a sport via an election; you do it on the field/court/ice. Until the NCAA learns this, there will never be a Division 1 National Champion for football.
