Faotball.
College football fans, get ready to crown not just one, but possibly two national champions. And get ready for a new round of controversy. Thatâs because the computer rankings had Oklahoma as the countryâs top team Sunday while the human poll voters picked Southern California. Itâs exactly what the Bowl Championship Series was designed to avoid, with the prospect of a split title certain to renew cries for a playoff. "I donât think anyone will know who the legitimate national champion is unless all three teams in consideration get the opportunity to play one another,ââ LSU coach Nick Saban said. Despite getting walloped by Kansas State 35-7 on Saturday night, Oklahoma will take its 12-1 record to the Sugar Bowl against LSU, which won the Southeastern Conference championship by beating Georgia 34-13. The winner in New Orleans on Jan. 4 automatically captures the coachesâ title under the BCS format. BULLSHIT USC, which finished third in the BCS rankings, could win The Associated Press championship by beating No. 4 Michigan in the Rose Bowl. If SC beats Mighty Michigan, who beat defending national chaimpion OSU Itâs a title by my, super tough standards ``Iâm not an expert on this, but if the No. 1 team at the end of the regular season wins its bowl game, how are they not the No. 1 team outright?ââ USC receiver Mike Williams asked. ``But we donât play LSU or we donât play Oklahoma, so youâll never know.ââ The No. 1 team in the AP poll has never dropped after winning its bowl game. When the BCS contract expires after the 2005 season, a one-game championship might be instituted after the bowls. That would be too late to fix this yearâs mess. ``The No. 1 team is not playing in the game that theyâre billing as the championship game,ââ USC coach Pete Carroll said. ``Something didnât come out right.ââ Thats because the Sugar Bowl should not be the championship bowl. Period. In the final BCS standings, Oklahoma was first with 5.11 points based on its top spot in five of the seven computers, the 11th-toughest schedule and a quality win over Texas. Yea Texas really kicked ass this year. The Sooners were third in both polls. But they couldnât win their conference! Bullshit OU, you had your shot and you choked, finni, Mo Fk ``At the end of the year, weâre No. 1 in the system,ââ Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. ``F@#k y@uLSU (12-1) was second with 5.99, edging out USC (11-1) by 0.16 in the second closest finish in the six-year history of the BCS. The Trojans got 79 of the 128 first-place votes in the polls but finished third in five computers because of a weak Pac-10 schedule. ``In a way it doesnât make sense,ââ USC cornerback Will Poole said. ``Theyâre going to have to do something about the BCS. Maybe they need to pull the plug.ââ LSU was second (but third before the last game) in the polls and six computers and edged out USC based on a tougher schedule. LSU and USC were each picked first in one computer. LSU had a tougher schedule my ass, no touher, LSU would have their hands full of OR St. ``What we have are three very deserving teams and only two of them are in the game,ââ said Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese, who coordinates the BCS. With new boat payments ``Iâm glad weâre bringing the No. 1 and 2 teams in the BCS together. But I have empathy for USC. FUCK YOU, (excuse me Rantburg) Itâs hard to sit here and do cartwheels.ââ The dream matchup for the Rose Bowl, a traditional pairing of Big Ten and Pac-10 champions with national title implications, is the doomsday scenario for the BCS. Thats because the BCS sucks and is run by people who drink bottled water. Itâs the third time in four seasons that a team in the top two in the polls didnât make it to the BCS title game. The Pac-10 has been the victim twice and remains the only BCS conference not to put a team in the title game in the six years of the system. Try this, Sugar Bowl=LSU=$$$=OU=Hype=losers=OU#5=OU in Holiday bowl vs WSU! ``It is most unfortunate that the other elements of the BCS standings gave overruled the two polls and taken USC out of the national championship game,ââ Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen said. The BCS avoided disaster those years because No. 1 Oklahoma beat Florida State in the 2001 Orange Bowl and No. 1 Miami beat Nebraska in the 2002 Rose Bowl. The No. 2 teams in the polls won their bowl games those years and could have won the AP title if the top-ranked teams lost. The only way to avoid a disputed finish this year is if Michigan (10-2) beats USC. Which they have a very good chance to do as they are a badass bunch of dooods! ``You would like the No. 1 and No. 2 team to be playing each other, but USC still has a chance to win a share of the national championship,ââ LSU quarterback Matt Mauck said. ``I think it is kind of messed up, but thereâs still a chance for everyone who thinks they are deserving to have a part of it.ââ No Mofk, Itâs craven ass f@#king.. There was talk two years ago when Nebraska made the title game without winning the Big 12 to make a winning a conference a requirement to make the championship game. There are sure to be more calls for that change because of Oklahoma. (By the way do you notice the illiterate nature of this report, and Iâm barely litirate) ``With the events this year, weâd be foolish if we didnât look at it again in the spring,ââ Tranghese said. But hey weâve got LSU in the big game against OU and If we win SC can go FO Despite the controversy, there are still two intriguing matchups. . ``I think weâre going to have the national championship game right where we are,ââ Tournament of Roses president Mike Rife said. ``Weâre going to thoroughly enjoy having the Pac-10 and Big Ten back with us again.ââ Iâll comment on this latter! Three days later, LSU will play Oklahoma in what will almost be a home game for the Tigers at the Superdome in New Orleans -- a short drive from LSUâs campus. ($$$?) This game features the countryâs two best defenses. Bullshit, OU couldnât even stop KSU from scoring pell-mel in a championship game. Oklahoma leads the nation, allowing only 255.6 yards per game, slightly better than LSUâs 259.5. The Tigers have the top scoring defense at 10.8 points per game compared to Oklahomaâs third-best 14.9. Means F@#kinf nothing! ``We have a blockbuster game,ââ Sugar Bowl executive director Paul Hoolahan said. ``Thereâs no doubt about it. FUCK YOU@ The BCS is a scam. USC is the #1 team in the US. OU is playing in the "National Championship game but they are only second in their conference, ie, KSU is better than OU. USC lost to Cal early when teams are still coming together, shit happens but SC won their conference outright. OU? But hey. Iâm an fan, I love the Rose Bowl. Itâs my personal favorite sports event of the year. And Iâm an SoCal fan. So having them in the Bowl an Jan 1, 3:oo pm is what I die for. There is nothing better than a Rose bowl, with itâs kickoff in the sun and itâs finnish under the lights. America!!! So what Iâm getting at is the BCS is a scull-FUCK! In Luckyâs opinoin, play the bowels as per tradition. After the bowls #1 plays #2! Posted by: Lucky 2003-12-08 |
