If Florida had squeaked out an ugly one last night, I might agree with you. The fact is, however, they won convincingly over the undisputed, undefeated No. 1 team. Florida is No. 1.

I would like to have seen Florida vs. Boise State. You know the phrase: "any given day". Don't start about "who would be favored". If people want to use that, then we should give the trophy to Ohio State because they were favored.

It just bothers me that a team can go perfect and that is not enough. What we have is a de-facto split in 1-A (n.k.a. FBS) where only teams from six of the eleven conference (plus ND) are even eligible.

The BCS is B.S., IMHO

No it used to be the team that went undefeated was the National champs. Face it Fl although they played great last night squeaked a fast one . They are no better then any other one time loser out there including the Buckeyes. If they don't at least share that title they will have a big bullseye on their backs. Being a Michigan fan I know what that is like, fair is fair Boise State is undefeated period.

Until the NCAA implements a Div 1 play-off system we will forever have these debates. Unfortunately the money is more important to the big conferences and universities.

There IS NO #1 Team. Period.

Until they get rid of the bowl system and institute a playoff, there will never BE a #1 team..... just lots of opinions - which don't mean squat.

Anybody who supports the "bowl system" and even watches the stupid, meaningless games played 55 days after the end of the season is a fool and deluded.

Stop watching and they will change it. Keep watching and they'll keep taking money from losers while deciding who THEY want as #1 and laughing at the losers the whole time!

It's why I don't won't and will never watch college football - until they change the system it is just pure B.S.

IF they did the same thing in Basketball, they could just pick Duke as #1 every year and not bother with that pesky NCAA tournament - where teams actually have to beat 7 other teams they might not normally play in order to be named #1.

The BCS bowl reminds me of Liberal logic - wish it hard enough and it will be true.
