Split National Championship with a picture of USC on it. Unbelievable. They beat a mid level, over ranked Illinois team and now they want to split the glass football with the BCS champion. There is only one champion, that is the winner of the game next week. They did that crap in 2003. They actually claim a national title in 2003 and they weren't even in the game. Ain't mass media grand? The AP choice for number one means nothing. It's the winner of the game in New Orleans. Hell, Georgia beat the number 10 team in the country and undefeated by 31 points last night. The are only number 4 right now. Why not give them a split.

Excellent point; Illinois did not belong in that game, Mizzou would have fared much better. I would rank Georgia and Oklahoma ahead of them... maybe even LSU!

This is why this years BCS is a complete abortion. Look at the games so far...expect another blowout tonight. They couldn't have fucked it up worse if they wanted to. Hawaii was pathetic, Illinois should have played Navy. USC, Georgia, LSU, and the Luckeyes should have played a 4 team playoff. Michigan was the best team in the country. What a joke.

The BCS is screwed up because of the polls.9 times ot of 10 these idiots that vote in the polls see less football than we fans do.You actually think he majoriy of the poll voters look at much more than the final scores? Hell I would venture to guess that the majority of the coaches in the coaches poll let their assistants do the voting.I don't believe there should be any polls released until the 5th or 6th week of the season.At least that way you would weed out some of the mess. just my opinion. dark

Right on, clepto. The BCS isn't screwed-up because of the polls, it is because WE DON'T HAVE A PLAYOFF, like EVERY other sport!!!!! This is a sham, and an outright disgrace that the coaches, fans, and players are NOT able to decide a championship ON THE FIELD. All we have now, is politics. I don't blame USC for claiming a piece of the championship. Did you watch them??? They absolutely destoryed Ill. Granted, Ill not the best team in bowl games, but they are good. I wouldn't blame Georgia for claiming a peice too, and if Oklahoma wins big tonight, they have a god argument. LSU and OSU will have claims on it also. In my mind, OSU, LSU, OK, USC, Georgia, should have ALL been in an 8, or 16 team playoff this year. Can you imagine how FUN that would have been???? How, can anyone say, these other teams (USC, Georgia, and possibly OK) didn't deserve a SHOT. Remember Auburn a couple years ago, Penn State? Unbeaten teams in big conferences, and were LEFT OUT The list goes on and on, EVERY STINKING YEAR, team(s) get ripped off because they are left out of a chance to win a championship. This shit has got to end, and SOON.||Peace_5.gif' border=0>

It's a flawed system no doubt and the media is always going to follow certain teams more-at the moment the reason that they are leaning on USC is because they have had the most recent dominance or mini-dynasty and to make matters even worse the Los Angeles media is just that way. Their media cradles their stars and relishes in their glory a bit too much.
As for LSU it is simply because they are the best SEC team as of late and just being the best in the greatest and most feared conference in the nation. That is always going to carry some weight. Now, I understand that the Michigan's and Ohio State's will always feel that this is a personal attack and generally always be upset when they don't get invited to dance but it is just the way it is.
I love a great football game and fortunately for me....most of those games just happen to be in the SEC.

Moselle,is it because its a "flashy" conference??? If you like watching SEC football,then no,you wont like watching big 10 football because they pound the ball right at you. Being a Buckeye fan,I HOPE this game is ugly,run,run,run,1st down for Beanie Wells. The Big 10 is not flashy,thats why you dont like watching it. Does it mean its a GRAT football game because you like trick plays or 70% passing??? Also,the last 2 years the BCS has been on with the National Championship Game, OSU just cameout flat last season and trust me,that wont happen again. Who can argue that OSU-FLA shouldnt have played last year??? this year,who'g gonna argue??? OSU has 1 loss in a tough conference and LSU was the best team in the SEC this year which is also a very tough conference. Maybe the rest of the BCS games were a little off, but The NCG has been right the past 2 seasons.
