The BCS and its championship
Image via Wikipedia
The funny thing about the BCS, and the lack of a playoff, etc., is the rules are such that the 1st and 2nd teams in the rankings make the national championship game, but we've already had that this season in the SEC championship game between Florida and Alabama. But because they were the same conference we have tonight's game, in which Colt McCoy was knocked out a few minutes in, peace be with him. What a drag of a game to lose, and what enormous pressure on Garrett Gilbert, a true freshman quarterback who I don't suppose has had much time on the practice field with the starting lineup.
Anyway, the broader points about Boise State being 14-0 but locked out notwithstanding, Alabama's won the game once. I'm rooting for Texas but, with the halftime score such as it is, I suppose this is the way it should be, especially given that McCoy has been out. I mean, after the Big 12 game in which Texas could not stun Nebraska, especially.
