2008 NCAA Football Season Desecrated: the BCS Aftermath Part 1

[armyaviationproud]

Utah went undefeated so they can call themselves natl champs. They might not have a crystal ball like Florida, but they are still natl champs as far as anyone should be concerned. It's not like they'd be the only ones in history to do that. There are like 500000 natl champs for like less than 150 years of cfb. How does that happen? Multiple champs in the same year. duh.

[MCEProd22]

Texas deserved to be in there and not Oklahoma and unless Boise St does the unthinkable and gets in the title game the game that should have happend that night will happen in Passadeena on January 7th

[Skittles658]

I know im really late but im getting tired of people saying Florida would be the Utes. They said that Alabama would beat the Utes but it was not even close.

[michael5025]

No, you're not late. I'm always glad to hear what people think about this, because it is an ongoing problem that has been present for years and will continue to be present. I just happened to be particularly emotional about it this last season because it happened to hit the team I root for really hard this time. The Mountain West should get more attention over the coming years because Utah, TCU, and BYU will continue to produce teams that are possibly national-title worthy.

[michael5025]

"For me as a fan, Florida has no more claim to the national championship than USC, Texas, Utah, a bunch of them. Why? Because a bunch of guys in the media or a bunch of coaches say they're better. That's not the way sports is supposed to be. I'm not buying it. But if that's the way they want to run their sport -- with a beauty contest -- that's fine. But it doesn't make it legitimate and doesn't make them (Florida) any more of a national champion than any of those other teams." -Stan Van Gundy

[GATORSHAWN67]

hey your are the FUCKING IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! texas is a pussy team...... the big 12 is way over rated........ you are a skrawny peice of shit and you dont know shit about football and any other sports, you look like a nerd who tudors other players....... texas tech did get lucky but florida is just a better team...... did colt mccoy win the heisman, no bradford did and bradford is a better QB then mccoy..... the big 12 aint got speed like the sec does, utah did have a pussy mountain west schedule

[michael5025]

I won't bother replying to most of your asinine comments, but the Bradford > McCoy comment deserves a note. OU practically had an NFL O-line last season. OU's 4th-string QB could have gotten ridiculous numbers behind that line. Not to mention the kind of offense OU runs really pads those stats. We'll see if you still think Bradford is better than McCoy after OU loses that O-line next season and McCoy continues to roll.

This guy is retarded. It does not matter how good anybody else in the country. There is one BCS champion.  Its not who you think is the best it is who wins the game. The system is flawed but if what this guy is saying is the norm why even crown a champion.

[dele3344]

1. Utah went 13-0. No other team did.

2. Utah beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Alabama was #1 for 5 weeks. Florida had to beat Alabama to get into the National Championship.

3. Utah has won 8 straight bowl games. Among the teams they played: USC, Georgia Tech, Pittsburgh, and Alabama.

4. Utah did not lose in 2008-09. Florida, Oklahoma, Texas, and every other team in the BCS did.

[MCEProd22]

If Oklahoma and USC Biffed it on the last week, the game would have been much better, cause either Texas Florida or Utah Florida would have been great

[auggator66]

I dont have to think the Gators are the lone Natl champs, I've got 2 SI COVERS to prove it. Hey, we all know the system is flawed, but face it, it's not going to change...At least not for a long time. Debate all you want, but the waterford crystal is in Gainesville.

[jpark51]

Exactly

[saxersgambit]

there are 4 national champions this year and if you disagree you are a f-in idiot. There were 7 champions last year everyone knows that. And there were 8 the year before that. There were 3 pac-10 champs and 5 sec champs this year, and 5 'true' presidents. LMAO -

[daprind]

Texas lost to Texas Tech and Tech lost to Ole Miss i know thats a retarded statement but thats how you texas fans made it ohhhh we beat OU bs to get to the national championship. i like texas they are my number 2.

[yessuhon8]

another oversight was the at large bid. why the hell did Ohio St. get a bid? the big 10 is WEAK! who gives a shit about their record. give the bid to the Pac-10 team. Big 10 & Big East are overrated. Mountain West should replace one of them as a BCS conference. The big east champ looked like shit against lowly Hawaii. WTF

[LALMCGatorsfan]

I don't care what the hell USC, Utah, Texas.

FLORIDA IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION!

I don't give a shit what you say you're an idiot because Florida was the best team in the nation and would beat Utah, USC and Texas!!!

Here's a Fuckin' Oklahoma fan talkin shit about Florida... lol!

FLORIDA 24 Oklahoma 14

Utah would get there ass kicked if they played Florida.

[michael5025]

First, I am a Texas fan, not Oklahoma. I couldn't care less that OU got beat; just gives us more reason to laugh at them because they can't win a BCS bowl game, and the media fags should have considered that when selecting who was going to play for the MNC. Second, Florida beating Oklahoma doesn't somehow prove that they would beat Texas, Utah, or USC. The whole point is there is no way to know who would win because they never played each other. Thank the BCS for that.

[yetitracker]

its because texas lost to texas tech...and oklahoma killed tech...i agree that texas was the more deserving team...but...they barely beat an ohio state team that was beaten by usc and penn state...usc beat penn state bad..texas tech lost to ole miss bad...florida lost to ole miss on a blocked extra point...the big 12 was over rated because they dont play defense...and utah couldnt beat texas,ou,usc or florida...i want a playoff..mccoy,bradford and tebow...coming back...hell yea!!...GO GATORS!!!!

[yessuhon8]

the sad thing is that Florida is not the National Champs in most of america's eyes. Even though the Patriots beat the Giants with a larger margin and had a better record, no one doubts that NY is the champs CUZ THEY WON IN THE FUCKIN PLAYOFFS. UF may be the national champs on paper but USC, UT and ESPECIALLY UTAH have the same, if not then better, argument to be the champs. there is a reason why the NCAA doesn't give out the official NC plaque and the BullCrap System is why. UF lost AT HOME

[llarimer7]

Texas has no argument. They lost to a team that was blown out by the team that Florida lost to. It may have been on a last second play, but Florida was only beat by a blocked extra point. Ole Miss waxed that garbage team that beat Texas. Let's get real, you're the idiot.

[theclint88]

"They lost to a team that was blown out by the team that Florida lost to" And they lost to Texas. It's a clusterf*ck either way, but I honestly do not know how you can say Oklahoma is outright better than Texas with the same record and a lost to them. Their nonconference schedules were pretty much the same. I am not saying we should go to the NC, but if Oklahoma gets to go, so should we.

[afopie]

No, only one school finished ranked number 1: Florida.

Texas lost to a worse team than OU did and barely beat OSU. Give it up and quit whining. Who is the idiot?

[bloodyraptor2]

michael you are pretty retarded. How can you use a head 2 head matchup to separate texas and ou when there is a three way tie. You can't forget texas tech. It was also like the 4th or 5th tie breaker that all the schools agreed to before the season so it wasn't the computers it was your athletic directors and school presidents.

[bloodyraptor2]

shoulda, woulda, coulda, it doesn't matter sure maybe florida isn't the best but we won't know. But what we do know is that florida won and it did what it had to do to get to the title with the current system.

[Neelinus]

The BCS is not doing the job it was intended for, and that is to establish the undisputed champion of college football. The BCS needs an OVERHAUL!!!!!!!!
