College Football

I dvr'd the game last night and watched it in like 45 minutes. For games one doesn't passionately care about, this is the only way to watch. You realize what a time suck and how many stupid commercials you waste your time sitting through. The BCS is such a stupid system. They basically gave away the national championship by scheduling this year. Think about this - LSU had to play 14 games - and since week 1 were the number 1 team in football. Meaning every single game, the other team was geared up to play them. They had to play an extra game, the SCE title game against a very good Georgia team. They had a regular SEC schedule (the hardest in college), played Oregon in week 1, and played the SEC title game and then were rewarded with a rematch against Alabama. Are you kidding? Of course they are going to lose at some point. If Alabama and LSU played 10 times, they'd split 5-5. So what is Alabama the national champion? Because they won the rematch? Dumb, dumb, dumb. A very good example of the NCAA system that found a worse solution to a non-problem.
