TCU wins the National Championship! Great team as I saw several times throughout the year. Great all-around team.

Congrats to TCU. Heck of a team. I still don't think they should be in the MNC game with their schedule.

Technically yeah, but practically speaking Wisconsin has more than 4 times as many students, and draws the best players from the entire state of Wisconsin, while TCU competes for recruits with UT, Texas Tech, A&M, etc.
It is a huge accomplishment for such a small school.

Yes you bandwagon jumper. :lol TCU is ranked 3 and Wisconsin is 5 and the game played out that way. It was a good game overall and the team with the better head coach ended up winning.
Texas also draws the most players in college football so TCU has a bigger pool to draw from.

Pfffft, according to 2011 logic, a Pac12 team got their asses kicked by a MWC team.
You had to know I was going to count this one as a win no matter who won.

NON-AQ! NON-AQ! NON-AQ!!!
*shrug* I never said it was a diplomatic system.Cooter said:
I don't mind the BCS, personally, because I don't have a horse in the race. The fact that every game of the regular season means so much more is appealing to me.
It's unique compared to the rest of the sports landscape where there's a second season. For example, I hate the baseball postseason because, in reality, you just need 2 starters to get hot to go on a run (see: Rockies, Rays, Giants). What's the point of winning 101 games? Now, that's both a function of how the sport is played. Basketball's the most diplomatic playoff 'cause there are 5 to 7 game series and the game isn't reliant upon a pitcher again 9 (or 10 in the AL).
It's a sensational TV product because of its flaws. Think of how much stronger conference grudges have gotten in the past decade? People fucking hate the [conference of your choice] or laugh at the [conference of your choice] because relative conference strength both matters and is so damn elusive.
So, again, I don't really care about having a "true champion," 'cause I don't have a horse in the race, so it'll never really matter to me. Not to mention that it seems to work out more often than not. I do think it's great that there's a sport where the pressure's on you as a team in the Top 5 starting from the first game of the season (Sunbelt team notwithstanding).
You're more than welcome to claim that 2003 USC would have crushed LSU that year. Or that 2004 Auburn could have handled 2004 USC. Or that this year's Bama team would crush team X. Again, I don't claim that the system is perfect or even fair. I think it's different and more interesting because of it.
If there were a playoff though, there's no way it would or should be a 16 or 8 team playoff. I can buy a Plus 1 system.
On a sidenote: In reality, I don't think we should put much stock into these bowl records because football, more so than any other US sport, is all about positional matchups because it's 11 on 11. Again, it's fun to talk about because we love conference pissing matches in the BCS-era. Not to mention a lot of these programs wind up being in transition or mess around with their playbooks to evaluate younger talent, especially in the lesser bowls.

Well he is, played very well, but they were getting blown off the ball.
Can't believe they left the TE uncovered. Blitzed the trips side, the backside end is going to do fuck all by dropping into coverage. Carder read the drop, guard really didn't engage him and he made a play. If the guard engages and hangs on it's OT.

congrats to TCU.
my conference wet the bed today. sad. but at least Wisconsin and Penn State went down swinging. can't say the same for the Michigan teams.

Yup. Tolzein wasn't good today. I couldn't believe they went shotgun on the two point conversion when the Badgers Oline was reestablishing dominance. Just pound it in. Still looking at the end of both halves the way the Badgers just let the clock run down was ridiculous. You gotta give the defense time to make a stop in the 4th in case they don't get the two point conversion like what happened.

If you buy what the media is selling of course.Smokey said:

1. you claim you don't follow college sports, why do you buy into ESPN bullshit hype about college sports?
2. No, it wasn't.
3. Straight up, TCU was ranked higher AND favored. Claiming this is an upset because of school size is like claiming Green Bay beating St. Louis is an upset because of city size.
