BCS: LSU Runs The Buckeyes

Your 2007 college football season now has a champion as the LSU Tigers ran over the Ohio State Buckeyes by the score of 38-24, becoming the first two-loss team to win the BCS Championship (they also became the first two-time BCS Champs). By now, the sports blogosphere is in full swing with all kinds of wrap-ups and post-live blog discussions, so there’s not much to say that hasn’t already been said.
There will be incessant talk of a playoff; whether or not USC should’ve been in New Orleans; and some folks from West Virginia pining away for a shot as well (I got most of these talking points from the post-game Fark thread).
Whatever.
The bottom line is this: under the current system we inhabit, LSU is your BCS National Champs and the AP concurs (not that it matters if they don’t because the glass football means much more than a final voting tally). For those of us pining for a playoff, don’t hold your breath. If the SEC cannot be the catalyst for change in the current system, who, exactly can? Well, as long as the Rose Bowl, the Big Televen and the Pac-10 continue to profess their undying love for one another, probably no one except perhaps Myles Brand.
However, do you really think the school presidents will allow Brand to mess with their cash cow?
Because of all of that, all we can do is continue to play by their rules and congratulate the champions as they come. With that in mind, congratulations LSU. You’re masterful beatdown of Ohio State made things a little clearer. As for Ohio State fans, there’s always next year. Although, you might want to take a break from the BCS Championship game. If invited next year, maybe you should decline.

[...] it. Your college football season in a nutshell. Agree? Disagree? Do you think that even though they lifted the BCS Trophy, LSU deserves the top spot? I would imagine she [...]

Now that is RE DICK YOU LOSS. 2 championships teams that have won the national title in 37 years. Until they do away with the bowls and go with some playoff formula in the next couple years. Big Ten vs. Big Twelve SEC vs Pac 10 ACC vs Big East for the time being.

Yes sir. As long as the NCAA uses the BCS, we can only congratulate who they tell us to. As long as the Big 10, Pac-10 and the Rose Bowl are intertwined, we won’t get past the Bowl system.
