OT: Wow (BCS Championship)

[Camron Rust]

Except for the first 15 seconds, Florida owned every aspect of that game. Simply dominating.

Congrats to the Gators!

I just got home from my game a few minutes ago. However, we got an update on our way home. Reading the title of this thread...I thought I missed a major, major come back!

Oh, Off Topic! Gotcha...

It appears that the Big Ten was not as good as people thought. Both Michigan and Ohio State got handled in their bowl games.

I say give the National Championship to Boise State. The precedent was set when BYU got it by being the only unbeaten, untied team with the same 13-0 record back in 1984.

Wait a minute. The SEC was 1-2 verse the Big Ten during bowl games. This game tonight was the only moment the SEC won a game against the Big Ten. Wisconsin beat Arkansas and a very average Penn State (not ranked and could not beat any of the top Big Ten teams this year) team beat Tennessee. A 17th ranked Tennessee team at that.

Peace

The WAC went 3-1 with the only loss by 1 point.

People need to start changing their thinking. The so-called "power conferences" are disappearing with the NCAA reduction in D1 scholarships. The talent pool is getting spread out to more schools. The rise of the WAC in football and the Missouri Valley in basketball are good examples of this.

People need to stop assuming one team is better than another or that one conference is superior simply because of the name and tenure.
The #1 place that this unfair bias shows up is in preseason polls. Teams should have to play four or five games before they are eligible to be ranked.

Nevada's comment wasn't that the SEC was better than the Big 10 (although it was last night). His comment was that both Ohio State and Michigan got handled in their bowl games. This is a true statement.

I gotta agree Cam - don't think it was what anyone expected.

And Jack did us proud! Being the crew chief for a national championship game is a once in a lifetime thing, and I'm glad he got the chance. Now that it's done, he can get back to focusing on really important things like HS basketball!
