Again..you know it all a whole lot more tha anyone else.

Hilarious.

Even guys who do that stuff for a living don't know...but at least they admit as much.

I don't know whether No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 2 Florida are the two best teams, and anyone who tells you they are, doesn't know either

And another opinion by a guy witb all sorts of "cred"

Quote:
Stoops and Brown, men who have managed to reach the pinnacle of their profession while still carrying themselves with class and dignity, were reduced th this level by a system that values political capital, style points and exposure. Don't blame them. Blame the BCS and the boneheads who keep endorsing it.

"We're in what we're in," said Stoops, who, when he should have been celebrating, had to explain why he risked injury to his star quarterback in order to run up the score on a fallen opponent. "I can't change it tonight."

It shouldn't be that way, but it is, because a bunch of bowl officials and university presidents don't have enough imagination to do what's best for the game. It isn't about money, because an NCAA football tournament would command far more than the $125 million a year ESPN will pay to televise BCS games from 2011-13. It's about the fear of a lot of complacent people unwilling to take a risk.


Their stubbornness could eventually ruin the game. If the Sooners and Longhorns already had punched their tickets to the playoffs before Saturday, Oklahoma's backups would have played the entire fourth quarter. Heck, the Tigers quit with 15 seconds remaining in the first half when they neglected to use their final timeout and jogged into the locker room

Whoops...I guess that flies in the face of...

because networks are paying huge money for bcs games and the conference heads know better and aren't moving
