Okay, so Florida is pretty damn good. After watching the Gator D stifle Oklahoma — one of the most prolific offenses in college football history — I’m sort of okay with Florida being crowned the National Champs.
But Utah was 13-0, and the Utes destroyed Alabama. Florida, after all, lost to Mississippi during the season. Mississippi?
And what about USC? Sure, the Trojans pulled their usual one boneheaded game of the season and dropped a Thursday nighter on national TV to Oregon State. But Oregon State turned out to be pretty good. As a matter of fact, the Pac-10 turned out to be pretty damn good, considering the Pac-10 was undefeated in the bowls. After watching USC pummel the Big Ten Champ Penn State, I’d say the Trojans have a case.
Texas is pretty good too. The Longhorns were the only team to beat Oklahoma during the season. Texas had one loss — to a great Texas Tech team — and the Horns beat Ohio State in the postseason.
But as usual, the BCS has screwed the college football fan. That is why, on this last night of the 2008 college football season, we can proclaim the BCS a large Pipe Job. Utah, USC, Texas and the college football fan were royally bent over. Happy New Year.
