you know what I find impressive? Auburn and FSU were able to stay pretty healthy this year. unless they were riddled with injuries like some other teams and the media just decided not to cover it or I just missed it. seems like the last couple of years so many teams will have an entire offense or defense injured by week 3.

couldn't possibly be because every player is trying to impress talent scouts so they can get drafted. nah, couldn't possibly be that...

the Bullshit Championship Series. cowboys get screwed every year. at least the sooners took out alabama.

What does it take to beat Alabama?

One second...or Sooner.

I'd rather have the BCS find the top 4 than a committee of biased people.

Great game last night. Musburger needs to retire.

[HilbillyHomeboy]

I'm happy with the committee, other than Condi Rice.

So: Is everyone happy with the BCS?

I'm happy with it.....as long as they take the top 4-8 teams and have a playoff

It wasnt that the refs made the wrong call. Its that it came down to a penalty to decide the game. I hate it when any type of technicality decides anything, even beyond sports.

You mean the PI at the end? That was the right call.

[JasonY]

Yes, which i said it was the right call. But in that game i was so upset that it would end on a call like that, prefer it to be settled on the field mano e mano.

My thought on refs influencing game is this, as long as they are consistent throughout the game then it doesn't matter. If they are calling ticky-tack penalties the whole game, then they don't need to keep the flags in their pants just because their is less than 2 minutes left. At the same time if they haven't been calling "close ones" the entire game then they shouldn't start at the end of the game.

The main thing about officials deciding games that pisses me off is when they won't change a call on the field at the end of a game, such as a dropped TD pass, not breaking the plane, etc. Its like they are afraid of making that decision. Situations that come to mind is when Stanford clearly broke the plane against Notre Dame in OT and the refs refused to reverse it because it was against "Gods Team." Another one was the WVU vs TCU game when TCU went for 2 and the ball clearly touched the ground, but the refs didn't reverse it.

As for the Title game, I have no clue because I didn't watch. In fact I didn't watch a single bowl game this year.
