You like boring games. I started watching UFC at halftime. Some guy named cowboy took an assbeating by some guy named diaz but at least he showed up.

Watching Notre Dame get their ass handed to them wasn't boring--it was beautiful. As is the peace and quiet emanating from my boss' office today.

"You like boring games."
Nope. I like watching Notre Dame get its brains beat in. It's been 12 hours since the game ended and I'm still as giddy as a high school girl who just got asked to the prom.

Re: BCS Championship Gamecrap
At the risk of sounding like Brent Musberger (and yes, he was way creepy last night), it's good to be a 2-time National Champion QB

Re: BCS Championship Gamecrap
Fucking Stanford... one goddamned loss in overtime away from getting Notre Dame in the national championship...
I'm not sure if Oregon would have beaten Alabama, that running game is big and ugly. Lacy is a beast. I'm convinced however, that Oregon would have been a lot closer then Notre Dame was.

There are at least a half-dozen teams, Oregon among them, that would have given Alabama a better game than the frauds in the blue uniforms. Georgia, LSU, Oregon, Texas A&M, Stanford (yeah, yeah, I know Notre Dame beat Stanford, but that was in overtime at South Bend on a shitty call), Florida, South Carolina, maybe even Florida State.
I could even make an argument Arizona State was a better matchup, going by their respective results against Navy. Notre Dame *only* beat Navy by 40. ASU was ahead of Navy, 62-7, with four minutes to play in the third quarter.

Re: BCS Championship Gamecrap
It's a shame for you their playoff system didn't come a couple years sooner.
Under the new system (effective after the 2014 season), Oregon (#4 in BCS) would have played ND. IMO, Oregon would have beaten ND by a couple of touchdowns. Alabama would have played (and likely beaten) Florida (BCS #3) which would have set up an Oregon/Alabama NCG.
I completely agree that Oregon would have provided a better opponent than did ND.

Speaking of Mushburger, he out-did himself in stupidity near the end of the game when he claimed the second half was "even" because each team had scored two touchdowns.
And there was another moment of stupidity when he claimed the BCS system would have solved the disputed title in '97 between Nebraska and Michigan because "the two best teams would have settled it on the field." Those weren't the two best teams on the field Monday night. The only thing settled was Notre Dame didn't belong there.

Re: BCS Championship Gamecrap
It's becoming a moot point since they're starting a playoff system after the 2014 season, but the BCS got badly exposed this season. Notre Dame wasn't anywhere close to the best team in the country and Northern Illinois playing in the Orange Bowl was a joke. Plus, the Big East has no business getting an automatic BCS spot, and it only gets worse when Louisville, Rutgers and Boise State leave after 2013.

Re: BCS Championship Gamecrap
Thank god for sanctions against "The Ohio State University" or Alabama would have been outside looking in.
What a nightmare that would have been. Talk about exposed. There's very little question that Alabama is #1 (though there's a team or two out there that can beat them, Alabama should beat anyone, except maybe Oregon, and even that's probably just me being a homer). Anyone who dismantles the #1 ranked team 42-14 is #1.
BCS however wouldn't have even allowed them in.

My reaction was initially the same as yours, but then I thought about how much howling there would have been (rightfully) from the SEC about a bogus OSU/Notre Dame championship game. If that had happened, there might have been enough pressure on the NCAA to scrap this stupid format and implement a tournament that produces a real champion.
