And the game that started it all......

[slice slice baby]

No offense, but in my opinion this has been the worst college football season I have ever witnessed. I actually fell asleep at 8:30 tonight, not caring or the least bit interested in the outcome of a single game.

There has to be a "king of the mountain." Either a team everyone loves or hates sitting at the top who keeps winning and has a foothold on the prize.

This has been PATHETIC. In all honsety if this is the way college football is going, I'll slowly drift away just as I have done from college basketball.

HAHAHA! Why doesn't this surprise me from you, vic??

I wouldn't say this has been the worst but it has been fun watching teams fall and slide on what you refer to as "King of the Mountain". And your dead on when you say..."Either a team everyone loves or hates sitting at the top who keeps winning and has a foothold on the prize." The media loves hating Ohio State. I have never seen a better "Love to hate" relationship in college football. Yet somehow, since Tressel has come to OSU, this team somehow keeps finding a way to get to the top.

As painful as it may be, I'm going to have to agree with osu4me on this one.

And Vic, if I were rooting for the Wolverines I would lose interest too.

Which is why we need to get rid of the BCS

[WONBulldog]

I do have to believe that now will come the coaches and AP and Harris Poll voters to screw the system all up again. People who placed Ohio State at #3 this past week may do it again while bumping LSU and Oklahoma above them in order to give their preferred match-up more of a chance, or someone may vote their team (say LSU) #1, put OSU at #2, and just put a bunch of teams they don't think anyone will vote for between themselves and what they perceive as the toughest competition into getting their team into the BCS National Championship game.

Georgia - Didn't win the conf. title, didn't even play for it. How can you put them in?
Kansas - See above
LSU - Won the conf title but lost to two teams that end the season unranked, I do believe
USC - Lost to Stanford but have steamrolled everyone the last several weeks
Oklahoma - Lost to Colorado on the LAST PLAY and lost to Texas Tech by a TD when their QB was out injured
Virginia Tech - Lost to Boston College once, but redeemed themselves yesterday in winning the ACC championship. Can't even think of who the other loss was to, and I have no desire to look. But...yeah...its the ACC, c'mon!
Arizona State - When facing good competition, they couldn't hack it.
Hawaii - Is someone SERIOUSLY gonna push for them to be in the National Championship game?
West Virginia - Lost to South Florida and Pitt yesterday. I still think the Big East is a horrid conference, ahead of MAYBE the ACC. But thats just me.
Missouri - You lost twice to Oklahoma, you are done.

Am I missing anyone here? Just wondering. LSU, USC, Oklahoma, or Virginia Tech have the best claim to it, I would have to say. And after watching Oklahoma roll last night, I am thinking they may be the best team. But a USC-Ohio State match-up could definitely be intriguing if only because it'll be played next season, I think, anyway.

Vic.

Sorry you feel that way, but in all honesty I`ll bet you every Ohio State fan in America would disagree with your assessment that this is the worst college football season ever. But then again if the tables were turned and this was Michigan sitting at the top of this sloped mountain I`m might feel the opposite too.
I have one problem with your statement that there has to be a dominant team every year. I totally disagree, respectfully with that claim. You know not in every sport and every season that dominant team wins it all.
The Yankees are hated and some times seem dominant during the regular season, but they don`t win it every year. Just ask Alex Rodriguez?
How many times has a team in the college ranks or pro seemed dominant then come up short in the end? Probably more than we think. The favorites don`t always come out on top and in my opinion that`s the beauty of sports in general.
So I have to ask you this question, if the dominant team doesn`t finish the job and get crowned the King, is it then a pathetic, bad season? If that`s the case then there`s been so many wasted seasons in the sports world.
I`m leaving right now to go up town and have a little round table meeting with some of my Michigan buddy`s and I totally expect to hear some of the exact same comments from them. Weak year, there`s nobody out there and so on. But you know what, I`m 100% sure that they`d love this if this were their Wolves sitting in the top spot like the Buckeyes are today. And you know what, they had it in their grasp until Appy State strolled into Ann Arbor.
I respect everything your saying, but all in all I have a feeling many of your words are charged by the fact that the Michigan - OSU rivalry has left a bad taste in your mouth over the years. I mean, if this were some other team sitting at the top would you care? Probably not as much right?

[WONBulldog]

My biggest question right now is how will #1 and #2 in the BCS rankings be able to fall in the same week when they play each other in the National Championship game!!!

[UGAdawg]

Well Georgia just got jumped in the coaches poll, so much for the next in line to move up in the polls. Looks like the media does control the system. The same system they say doesn't work. Good luck to the Buckeyes. I hope the hammer the team the computer "media" picks to play them!


UGAdog....out!!!!

[knightmare07]

I wish they would have run the table frankly.

The Buckeyes will lose at least one of their last 3.

- Victorian, game of the Decade


No you don't.

They didn't even win their conference! How do they deserve a shot at the National Title?

I actually liked college football this it kept me interested and watching alot more game then just big ten games. OSU desrves to be in the games because there the only team in the top ten that has been consistent in win there games besides Hawaii. I think they'll be playing LSU or OU. I would like to see OU instead of LSU there offense looks better and there defense looks better also. The biggest I've seen watching LSU is that they play really sloppy. They have alot of turn overs and commit way to many penalites and thats what killed them in there 2 losses. I would also like to see OU because playing LSU in new orleans is hardly a neutral game it would be like making a bowl game called the trojan good luck bowl played at the horse shoe for the NC.

I wouldn't mind the a play off system but I think that it should a 8 team format at the most. With an 8 team play off you could still save the bowl system which will give the small confrence school something to play for.

[tigerball13]

How do OU and LSU jump UGA but not Vtech?

[JAB]

I was under the assupmtion that people thought the ACC sucked more then the Big Ten. Even though I don't understand that since the Big Ten is the confrence with the most bowl eligable teams.
