Help, Coach Jim, Help!!

You have said repeatedly that MU is too good for OU to beat them on a neutral field. Well...what's wrong, coach? Looks like OU is just plain, flat better. They are WAY faster to the football on defense than Mizzou. It's not really even a close game.

I still think Missouri is the better team. They obviously aren't earning their chance at the championship (or even the BCS), but they've done well.

The thing to remember for Big 12 fans is that Kansas only graduates like five starters.

[Greg Farra]

And I believe Ohio State has only two senior starters. :)

With West Virginia getting beaten by Pittsburgh and Missouri getting beaten by Oklahoma who will play Ohio State in the National Championship game? It just seems like a very weird season. Parity reigns.

[Greg Farra]

No matter what some fans think, Missouri can still win tonight. I don't care who we play. Georgia? Kansas? Neither won any titles. It is a mixed up season, but it's been fun. I actually was kind of looking forward to an old school matchup in the Rose Bowl with So Cal playing the Bucks.

You are right and that is why you play the games. Ou has done a great job defensively. It looks as if it will be the Ohio State University against who knows. I wish it would be Kansas, but I think they will end up 3rd or 4th.

Essentially, these outcomes tonight will allow the voters to decide the national championship teams simply by choice. Everybody's lost at this point, so they can simply vote any of the top ten teams 1-2. You couldn't fault anyone for putting any of those top ten in the #1 spot right now.

All I know is that the BCS is COMPLETELY broken if Georgia can play in the national championship game without winning EITHER their division OR their conference.

I would probably vote for OSU and LSU at this point, although I think OU and USC might be the two best teams in the country at this stage of the season.

[Ryan Scott]

I think LSU might be the best team, so as long as they get into the game, it won't be a total loss.

It's a shame we couldn't see that game played out but to do so either the Fiesta or the Rose would have to give up a tie in. Notice I didn't say instead but in addition to. I do feel sorry for Georgia that they got jumped by two teams without playing. Personally if I were doing the rankings, I would not have dropped LSU as far as they did last week but put them above Georgia if I really felt they were better then Georgia. Then if they lost their championship game, I would move them down.

Georgia had no business being ahead of LSU to begin with...although if OSU can move up for doing nothing, Georgia must be wondering why that same logic didn't work for them, too.

[Bruce Carriker]

I don't feel the least bit sorry for Georgia. All they had to do was win the SEC. They didn't. They didn't even win their division of the SEC.

The teams I feel sorry for are those that are required to play conference championship games, then get dropped for losing them - Missouri, Boston College, Tennessee - while other teams sit at home and do nothing and move up - Ohio State in this instance. (Imagine that after the Rockies beat the Padres in the tie-breaker game for the NL playoffs, the "voters" decided that the Mets were really the better team anyway and let them go to the playoffs, instead of Colorado.)
