I’m one of those guys who doesn’t believe in ‘national titles’ I believe in tradition. To me the Rose Bowl beteween big 10 and pac 10, the Iron Bowl, the Notre Dame BC game, the Army Navy game are what college Football is about.
So I really have no dog in this. But if you really respect football, you realize that overtime is the joke. The LSU Bama game this year ended in a tie and Alabama outplayed LSU pure and simple. LSU deserves huge credit for ‘winning’ (Under college rules) anyway on the road.
You’ve got the right teams given that the whole idea of a championship is bad for America. Just enjoy it.
That’s another thing I don’t like about the BCS system, an overtime win, should not count the same as a regulation win.
Both college and pro overtimes are a joke. I think flipping a coin in the college games would be better than what they are doing now. At least two college games went to four overtimes this year. The Pro overtimes pretty much go with whoever wins the flip of the coin. If you are going to have overtimes then play a fifth quarter with regular rules. If still tied, either flip or play a sixth quarter. At least each team has a chance to win.
I totally agree. For over a century we have had arguments at the end of every season as to whether the #1 ranked team really deserved to be there or not.
And you know what? Those arguments didn't hurt the game, or take away any interest in the season. Not one little bit.
Going back to the pre-BCS system would be just fine with me.
