Once again we get to talk about bringing a playoff system to college football, since the BCS Rankings are so messed up right now. It was clear on Thursday night that the University of Texas Longhorns had no business being on the same field with the SEC Champion Alabama Crimson Tide. The Longhorns were out matched and out classed in every direction and the final score was only close; due to the fact Alabama played a conservative 2nd half. Nick Saban and his coaching staff from Alabama are not quiet aware of the troubles the SEC has when it comes to getting fair rankings in the BCS Poll. They should have did more in the 2nd half to prove the differences in talent, but their conservative play-calling made the final score look respectable for the team in white from Texas.

Apparently Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreet actually thought Texas had a chance to win this game. It was clear by the voice of announcer Brent Musberger from ABC Sports, that he was in favor of an upset and got excited when Texas did something good. His voice carried less weight and enthusiasm when Alabama did something well and they were doing things well all night Thursday. The prediction from Lou Holtz before the game was probably the funniest thing I heard all night. He picked Texas to win the game. Not due to anything Texas had or any special athletes or sophisticated play-calling from Mack Brown and his staff. No, he chose Texas to win and his reason was because Alabama had played such perfect football all year long and they were bound to mess up some where. Well Mr. Holtz, that did not happen and this wasn’t even an exciting championship game for college football fans with the huge difference in talent level.

The SEC and ACC are clearly the two best conferences in football. It’s hard for teams in the ACC and SEC to get up for bowl games in college football. This is because they have to play against such weak opponents in these bowl games and they prepare much better for the talented teams that play in their conferences. No big surprises to see a few southern teams lose; since they were playing against schools that didn’t even belong in bowl games to start with.

It’s time the BCS started to recognize the teams from the South more and give them a higher ranking than these small schools and the schools that don’t play against any real competition. The Alabama Crimson Tide had two turnovers that gave the Texas Longhorns great field position and they only managed to put up 6 points in the first quarter? Texas failed to score in the 2nd quarter and got 7 points in the 3rd quarter and then scored 8 points in the 4th quarter to give them their 21 points in the BCS Championship. The Alabama Crimson Tide scored 24 points in the 2nd quarter of the National Championship Game and these were the only points they needed to win the game. It’s pretty sad when a team doesn’t score in the first quarter and their points from the 2nd quarter is enough to win the game. It was funny to hear Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstreet talk about how Texas is getting a foot-hold on the game in the 3rd quarter. They were not getting any foot-holds! Alabama came out of the locker room at half time and played conservative football. They controlled the game the entire time and there was never a doubt who the best football team was that night. Why can’t you guys just admit that Alabama and the SEC teams are far more superior to these weak schools in the Midwest and on the West Coast? The SEC has won the BCS Title for 4 years straight now and have did this with different teams. It’s not like one school had a special class of football players. These are different teams that are destroying these weak opponents you keep lining up for them in the BCS Championship Games.

Brent Musberger was asked to chime-in on the best BCS Championship Game ever. Guess which one he picked? He would naturally choose the one that goes back 5 years and not the previous 4 that the SEC has dominated. He selected the 2006 BCS Championship Game between the USC Trojans and the Texas Longhorns. What’s funny about this story is 2 things. The first thing is he claims that the 2006 USC Trojans (who don’t play against any real competition) as the best college football team ever. Well Vince Young and the Longhorns had something to say about that as they beat the USC Trojans in that game. Doesn’t that make the Texas team of 2006 the best college football team ever, Brent? After all, they were undefeated that year, even though the Texas Longhorns doesn’t play against any good teams either. Even when USC or these other over ranked BCS teams get beat, these guys that influence the rankings still think they’re the best.

The second thing that is funny about this story with Brent Musberger is the Auburn Tigers. Guess where the Auburn Tigers play? Yes, they are another SEC team. Their record was spotless too and no one beat them in 2006. This is why college football is so screwed up. The SEC can’t produce undefeated teams; due to the level of competition they face on most Saturdays; but when they do, they fully deserve to be in the BCS Title Game before any other conference or school. The Auburn Tigers would have destroyed the Texas Longhorns in 2006 and they would have beat the “greatest college football team in history” USC Trojans too!

I’m already seeing USC as being 5th ranked in the BCS rankings for next year? This is the same USC team that got beat by the Washington Huskies this year and they didn’t win a football game last year. The USC Trojans are going to be suspended for a future bowl game, since they paid Reggie Bush’s family. New allegations this year about them paying McKnight and USC is in double trouble. College football recruits are avoiding USC due to these suspensions they will have to face and no talented football players want to go to USC; when they know they won’t get to play in any bowl games. The USC team is done and that is why McKnight is now going to the NFL and Pete Carol is not sticking around to face these penalties either as he is going to coach the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. Let’s get the USC Trojans out of our top 25 rankings, so we can focus on more deserving teams that have talent and don’t pay their players. USC got over ranked with their freshmen QB this year and he’s not going to be that much better as a sophomore and USC does not belong in the top 5, top 10, top 20, or the top 25.

Congratulations to the Alabama Crimson Tide for winning the SEC Championship (the real championship game in college football) and for beating another over ranked BCS team in the National Championship Game in college football. As long as they let us have a team there, we will win it every time!
