Auburn vs Oregon

[SFP]

I did not like the way the game ended but overall Auburn dominated most of the game and deserved the win. I was personally going for Oregon. I did hate that one run where Dyer appeared down but was not and more then likely cost Oregon a chance at OT.

Congrats BCS on another BS fake national champion.

No way anyone could watch those two teams and walk away knowing for a fact TCU could not compete let alone beat either team. Infact Boise State, Wisconsin, Stanford, Oklahoma to name a few could have beaten either of those two teams.

But I suppose there is no reason to settle everything on the field as long as the BCS'rs are able line their pockets with this sham of a system.

Nice game but a complete waste of time. Until it is settled on the field with competition and not on computers who do not let it known the critieria or some vote where a coach/school has an axe to grind, its not a true national champion.

The sad part is it will probably get stripped from Auburn a few years down the road when the actual Cam Newton story comes out.

The closest thing we will ever see to a playoff system is a +1 game. Until the culture in college football changes, which wont be any time soon unless the BCS breaks away from the NCAA and forms its own league, the bowl system isnt going anywhere.

but in their ultimate lack of wisdom -- when that happens, it'll be too late for the Ducks -- the NCAA will not elevate them to Champions -- they'll just vacate the Auburn title.......

While I agree with you about some of your list, you can't include Stanford in your list. They had their shot at Oregon and lost 52-31.

The thing I hated was the 2 personal foul penalties on Auburn that were after the play was over, those 2 players should have been ejected as one ripped the helmet off of an Oregon player and the other one kicked an Oregon player that was on the ground causing him to have to leave the game during the 1st half because he was bleeding from the face.

I really put them in there because I think Stanford would be part of an 8 team playoff. But you are right they did get a crack at Oregon.

Regardless the whole BCS is to me a complete joke. Oregon and Auburn are best because some computer says so, ESPN says so, the Presidents of the BCS schools say so? Neither are the best because there still is an undefeated team who by the eyeball test is equal to if not better then both teams who played last night.

And just to bring it up... Boise loses one game and plays in early December but garbage like Vtech who Boise beat and even more garbage UCONN both play in a BCS game. None of this makes any sense to me. Then again I guess it would make complete sense if my pockets were being lined by this scam.

The game was @Oregon and if Stanford had a month to prepare I would bet they would win this time around.

I also thought Auburn played DIRTY! Funny part is I had no ill feelings for them even with the Cam Newton situation but turned the stream off right after the game because I had no desire to listen to their gloating. The quickest way to change the system is for all the college fans to just not watch any of the Bowl games until they fix it. An 8 team playoff chosen by an independent group could work but what are the chances?

The bcs was formed so they could do things like this, keep most of the money for themselves, reason why they also like to keep all the mid-majors out of the big dance.

I would agree with the consensus of just about anyone interested that those were the two best teams and they proved it all year long.
That being said, now NCAA has a dilemma....how to deal with the facts that Newton's dad was shopping his kid and asking for money...if he was aksing and negotiating for $150K from Mississippi State, then most assuredly if NCAA even bothers to check they'll find it happened at Auburn, too...everyone knows it but NCAA clearly doesn't want it to be found out...
I predict NCAA will just drop the whole thing and hope nothing else surfaces to show how hypocritical and illogical their decision was to let Newton remain eligible...
If someone steps up with the evidence that Newton got money from Auburn, then NCAA would have no recourse but embarrass themselves and vacate yet another championship.
It's gotta be the same nervous and worrisome feeling at the NCAA as a guy who has murdered his wife and buried her in the back yard and when the police come they bring shovels....

Hey, its no skin off the NCAA's back, remember, they technically do not award a national championship in division 1-a football.

They may not award it but they sure have a heavy hand in deciding it.
