Hmmm . . . things are getting clearer. So if some team other than USC wins the National Championship Game they win the BCS, but if USC wins the National Championship Game then they win The National Championship? So in other words, it's whatever USC, it's fans and the press want it to be at the time? Do I have it right?

You tell'em brother!!! I've gotten tired of arguing the point.

[racing fan]

I think you are right.

Did you see the Florida player sitting on the ground? He was thinking plese take me away. He needs to get an airline ticket out of there (forgot the airline that has those need to get away commercials).

Thank you.

I've seen a ton of games over the past 50 years, but I don't remember ever seeing one like this. Both teams fought like hell and did credit to their schools. That third quarter was one for the ages.

[racing fan]

good night everyone.

[fatima]

It was a great game.

Penn State 26, FSU 23

Hot diggety, Joe Pa deserves it! And what a finale-- the freshman than missed two routine field goals, makes it and wins it on the third attempt! Football doesn't get any better than this.

NO, USC is playing for its third national Championship.After the BSC protected LSU in 2003 and didn`t allow USC to settle this on the field, the schools had to share the National Championship. To bad, the Trojans wanted to play the Tigers, but, maybe after what USC did ton Auburn that year, LSU chickened out, and played the Sooners. To bad that LSU never was able to return to the level USC has established.

Whatta game! One for the ages, befitting the two coaches.

It was a little touch and go there for a while..... but in the end, PSU pulled it off. What a great game.

Thanks for sharing your rationalizations, but the fact is, LSU won the National Championship in 2003. What the system is now, what it came to be or your opinion of it MATTER NOT ONE BIT. When the season started and ended in 2003 THAT WAS THE SYSTEM. We all played under it and LSU won it on the field. The trophy is in our trophy case. You can stop by and see it any time. It's the same trophy that Pete Caroll so proudly held up last year. He wasn't waving that "other" trophy around . . . now was he?

[jayef]

By the way . . . you know you sound like a Democrat when you do that? Rationalizing defeat is their stock in trade and you seem to have perfected it.

[bybybill]

What defeat are you refering to?

[bybybill]

I suppose that the trophy from the AP declaring the Trojans Champions of College Football in 2003 is a fake.
