The year of the cat......
What a year! College football gave us everything. Upsets, coaching changes, amazing finishes, BCS debates, Cinderellas, Davids versus Goliaths, the SEC, the WAC, FOX network bowl games, ESPN talking heads, etc. etc. etc.
The curtain finally closed Monday evening with the LSU Tigers pounding the Ohio State Buckeyes 38-24 in the BCS Championship Game.
After a little more than 1300 games played this year by division 1 teams, the BCS gave us LSU - OSU as a finale to an awesome season. We can all argue about a possible play-off system which would have included USC and Georgia...........but.....College football did what it's done for ......well....forever.......reward the team with the best season. Starting in September, and going through December and into January. Not who's the hottest at the end of the year..........but who was the best.....throughout the year.
Georgia claims to be the best team....now. Where were they when they were humiliated at Tennessee 35-14 back in October. Or USC.....they claim they are the best.....yet lost to a 40 point underdog Stanford, 24-23 also back in October.
LSU lost twice.........both in overtime.........both to rugged SEC teams. Ohio State lost only once........to a very athletic Illinois team.
Maybe one day.....in our life time.........we'll have a play-off system for the BSC.......until then.......let the current system continue to invoke debate.........and keep the regular season of college football interesting.
