It's looking like it's going to be Florida and Oklahoma in the national championship game if all predictions and BCS scenarios play out, which is sure to cause an uproar from every single team with one loss in the country.
Well boo hoo.
Right now, at this moment, the no. 1 and no. 2 teams in the country are Florida and Oklahoma. There's really no doubt about that, except for Texas fans, who will say that they defeated the Oklahoma Sooners earlier this year. Well good job, get a good drink of water and enjoy the Sun Bowl because nowadays it's all about what you're doing right now.
Texas beat the Sooners, were in the driver's seat to the national championship and then lost to Texas Tech, who were then in that same seat, until they got absolutely annihilated by Oklahoma. They get the tiebreaker to the Big 12 Championship game because of their BCS standings and they annihilated Missouri, which was the 19th-ranked team in the country.
Sorry Longhorn fans, your team had it's shot and screwed it up, Oklahoma meanwhile has been simply unstoppable these past few weeks and oh...
THEY WON THEIR CONFERENCE
It would be ridiculous for the Longhorns to be in the National Championship game when they haven't even won their division within their conference.
Does Texas deserve a shot? Sure. However our current system only sets up the no. 1 and no. 2 teams in the country, which is Oklahoma and Florida by most accounts. You can't blame the BCS for the fact that their are competitive no. 3, no. 4 and no. 5 teams as well - however you don't see these coaches talking to their university presidents or conferences about this. You don't.
The BCS gives us the two top teams, as advertised. Every team knows this going into the season.
And please Boise State and Utah... stop complaining about getting snuffed because some FCS programs have a tougher schedule than you do.
Without further delay here's this week's scores:
No. 12 Ball State 24, Buffalo 42 - I'm not shocked that Ball State finally lost a game, I am shocked though that Buffalo is 8-5.
No. 23 Pittsburgh 34, UCONN 10 - Congrats Pittsburgh, enjoy the Sun Bowl.
No. 18 Boston College 12, Virginia Tech 30 - That was the ACC Championship game... yep, that conference is having a down year.
No. 1 Alabama 20, No. 2 Florida 31 - Look! A real conference championship game!
No. 5 USC 28, UCLA 7 - What's funny is that the Trojans seem to play in the Rose Bowl more often than the Bruins... ooo burn.
No. 19 Missouri 21, No. 4 Oklahoma 62 - Yeah Oklahoma doesn't deserve to be in the National Championship Game... no way.
No. 13 Cincinnati 29, Hawaii 24 - And will this loss, the Warriors will be playing in their home state, in their home stadium, for a bowl game. Look for them to get blownout in that game against the 7th best Pac Ten team.
