I must confess - I can’t figure out how they can take god knows how many college football teams and decide who’s 1 and who’s 2 and so on and so forth.

While I’m very ambivalent about a national college championship, I can understand the fans wanting one. But I don’t know - I often wish they’d just left the “Big 4” alone. But I don’t know the nuances of BCS selection, because I still can’t figure out how Cal didn’t go to the Rose Bowl and Texas did. I think it’s because USC went to bowl game designated as the championship (Fiesta? Orange? I forget) and therefore the Pac-10 lost its spot in the Rose Bowl.

Rats....now I have a headache.

I am with IMHO there is no way to have National Champion in college football. The conferences are to diverse in there quality and emotions of players. One key player and it screws up your whole offense or defense. Some would say depth, cant come off the bench with the rhythm of the game and attuide.

The south see college football as a religion rather than a sport. The fun of college football is the IF”S and ‘wait till next year.’

And I enjoy every minute of it! Ya’ll just wait till next year Georgia will be the “National Champions” lol My dad always says "A football takes funny bounces and that is not going to change."
