FTU DECLARES UTAH NATIONAL CHAMP. WELL, SURE.

please, please dear god have LSUfreek show us the Utah team hoisting this trophy in triumph

Mythical championships require mythical rewards. A Unicorn for everyone, maybe?

Look no further than the bottom of their poll to determine it’s bullshit. An 0-12 Washington team finishes TWO SPOTS ahead of a 2-11 Washington State team that beat them head to head.

Utah is the national champion of gay bar rules.

Does anyone really think we’ll ever get away from this kind of stuff? Absent turning the entire season into a 119 team round robin tournament (WWL would be thrilled) any of the tweaks being suggested will result in someone being pissed off and having a legitimate gripe.

Having the “mid-majors” in the mix seems like having a really good AAA baseball team competing for the world series.

The T-U, fighting for any sort of readership, makes an outlandish claim and disses the hometown (nearly) Gators…if I still spent any money on that mulletwrapper I might bother to be incensed.

Just remember, this is about money…the T-U needs to piss people off to sell papers with an article outlining how the BCS system is wrong and sucks for determining a natty champ (it does); the BCS system will remain in place until they can find a way to make more money (they will) doing it another way, and no amount of goof-ball analysis will change who now holds the crystal foobaw (the Gators)…

On another note, Jacksonville just lost one half of their sports talk radio options…Lamm at Large with David Lamm and Joe Cowart were terminated yesterday…Clearchannel (just remember, its about money) thought it best to bring in a nationally syndicated sports talk show host…Dan Silly-ho, I think. Nice…a scUM homer in Jax…another way to ensure a continued slide in listenership…1010 is still crankin’ tho’, with no evidence of hardship.

This Jacksonville (Home of the WLOCO) Update has been brought to you courtesy of the boredom inherent in a depressed real estate economy…and the fact that it is not thirsty here yet…

National Champions are like orfices: everyone has the capability to fill several slots, although most people only use one at a time. However, like orfices, while I don’t wish to deny anyone the right to fill national championship slots in the privacy of their own homes, subjecting anyone to that on the internet has become the equivalent of posting a goatse link. Please, keep it to yourself.

Utah jumped to a three-touchdown lead on the Crimson Tide before settling for a 31-17 victory, which was slightly more convincing than Florida’s 31-20 win in the SEC championship game, when the Gators had to rally in the fourth quarter.

/bangs head against table repeatedly

I saw that, too, Grimey.

Therefore, I offer the following four words: Third string left tackle.

Also, I was always under the impression that Dr. Punch was, himself, under the influence of injected neurotoxins.

Ok, it’s thirsty over here now… martini time… see ya.

Oh yeh, saw this little gem beside the link:

All I can say to that is: Ha! Ha!
Couldnt happen to a nicer human.

Cant we get Don King to sort this BCS out?

“any of the tweaks being suggested will result in someone being pissed off and having a legitimate gripe.”

Someone being pissed off? Sure. Someone always is. Legitimate gripe, though? No. If you have to argue about whether you’re #8 or #9 to get in, you’re not #1.

Methinks that the UF-UA game had a little more at stake than the consolation bout between Utah and UA.

But that’s just pure speculation on my part.

when you consider the Aussie playoff rules it sounds fabulous – let the lower ranks struggle to prove they are worthy of playing the upper tier, even letting the upper tier loser having a second shot of proving they deserve to have a rematch…. fabulous idea…but impractical

the reason you don’t have football games as often as basketball games is because the game is grueling and requires some measure of preparation. Now I suppose the preparation factor can be set aside but the idea that we have a 12 game season followed by 4 more playoff games begins to sound almost tortuous

now a NFL-type 32 team playoff beginning after 10 games… I am all for that. Lots of teams participating, use the bowls for the final 8-4-2-1 games, have 2 weeks between games and we could conceivably stretch the season out until, say… May. With early summer practice replacing spring games, and allow it to go on for 4 weeks we could get college football to last, ummm…YEAR ’ROUND!!

The Utah-Bama game was for the national title (for Utah). More at stake than just a conference title.
