MMM, WHO DOESN’T LOVE PRESS CONFERENCES?
The fact we have to wait for a selection show doesn’t seem half as unusual this year as a college football fan. As strange as it’s been, Barry Alvarez could come on the screen in a Cat-in-the-Hat raver cap, technicolor-striped pants, and twirling two glow sticks while screaming “SOMEONE GAVE ME BAAAAAAD DRUGS!!!” and it would feel apropos. It’s been bad trippy time for football fans everywhere this entire season–why change now? Just put Thom Brennaman in the fat pants, dose him on some cut-rate MDMA, turn on the camera, and let the fun begin. WHO LOVES YOU? AND WHO DO YOU LOVE THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP THUMP

It feels so good when you touch my head…where’s my gum?
So while we all wait for the BCS selection show, please note that EDSBS Live, America’s Most Outstandingly Mediocre College Football Show, has been moved for one week only to Monday night on account of Peter Bean, our co-host, being exceedingly occupied this week for reasons unknown. (He’s secretly negotiating for the job of defensive coordinator of the Texas Longhorns. Let it be known that we think he’d be just as good as their current management.) It will be broadcast live tomorrow night when we’ve got BCS selections to discuss and a bit more time on our hands as a duo.
Regular programming continues apace tomorrow. For the record, we think placing the entire undefeated 2004 Auburn squad and the 12-0 1994 Penn State Nittany Lions would make as much sense as any other arrangement you choose, since the BCS is made to hand pick a pair of lions from the pride for their title game, not pull a pair a pair of random feral cats from a sack.

41 isn’t real far from 50.And there were no overtimes in that one. You televen guys, I don’t even want to hear the word “playoff “from you. Until you have a conference championship game.

Dr. Ed PHD.XYZ,
Because a few leagues have adopted conference championships for purely financial gain in recent football history, doesn’t mean that all leagues should follow.
You folks bring up this bogus SEC superiority bias, BigTen went 2-1 last year vs the SEC, and then change the argument to support your biased opinion, “the game that mattered”.
I agree that presently, the SEC is a stronger conference but it’s false that the SEC or any other conference is the best year in and year out.
Ohio State is 0-8 versus the SEC in bowl games but how many of those were played in SEC home territory? OSU is 1-0-1 versus LSU and 7-2-2 versus the SEC in regular season play.
After this season, it’s obvious that one game can be an anomaly yet SEC fans seem to use one game from last year as the measuring stick for an entire century of football.

half a hundred
half a hundred
half a hundred
maybe if you say it enough times everybody will agree?
STFU already.
Besides, LSU scored 48, it wasn’t like it was 50 - 0.

ATL AU Tiger #254,
I don’t think Carroll has ever been pro BCS, and I know that he definitely wasn’t in 2003.
Yes, you got screwed…and, you got lucky that year. 13-0 is better than 12-1.

220- Florida has a much tougher schedule than OSU’s last year. Sagarin’s year end rankings had the Gators’ SOS at 8 and the Buckeyes at 38. I don’t know for a fact, but I would imagine UF had defeated at least four ranked teams before the bowl game as well.
I’m sure a half dozen OSU fans will jump in to tell me the computers are just a bunch of biased, SEC homers though.

The Big Televen needs a championship game. Then they’d have a true champ. And 1 of them would lose. OSU is 0-8 against SEC teams in post season play. And as far as last years 2-1 record against the SEC, which game will be remembered ? DUH! LSU will kick OSU’s ass . They don’t want a conference championship game because it might knock somebody out of the MNC game.
