Now...as much as I'd like to gloat that Texas pounded USC....this was definitely one for the ages.....this game was as good as advertised and both teams played great.
When it came down to it...it was big playmaker vs big playmaker....and Vince Young got the best of them..........You want a perdiction? Vince Young is a future MVP award winner in the NFL....you want proof? He played great all year...and when it counted...he put his team on his back against "the best college football team in history" and put all that talk to rest...
Reggie Bush looked like a backup to LenDale White all game....
USC vs. UT

Great great game. One of the best I've seen. The reason USC lost was because they were too scared of VY. They played zone almost all night and left many recievers wide open. They also couldn't tackle worth shit. Damn...what a great game
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

No doubt...It was a great game...USC lost cause somebody had to loose...They could play that game next week, and get a completely different result...Texas did not dominate USC and vice versa...That game came down to some key plays that could have sealed the deal either way...
I am proud of both teams, it would have sucked for me either way cause I like them both...USC has been there 2 times before, and wen on an incredible run...As the coaches said, both teams were deserving of a W...
What a great season of college football this was man...Fuck, I can't wait until next year..!

correction.....to what you just said about them being there before...and to EVERYONE....
Folks......LSU won the national championship 3 years ago...... for some reason a bunch of sportwriters in the AP poll voted USC as their champion....even though LSU played and won the national championship..........
Then USC pounded Okalhoma and won it
and then Texas won it....
So.....it depends who you judge on....some sportswriters...or the actual game...on the field....settled like football players....if its the latter...than LSU won it...and USC was going for a repeat...not a threepeat....
and my question is..... if USC was co-champs with LSU....why wasn't Auburn with USC last year? they were more deserving last year than USC was 2 years ago.......
but either way....it sounds better for 3-peat.....and "they've been there 3 times"......when its not the real facts...

More of what I was talking about in the other thread...The BCS is just another piece of the pie, and works in part because of the rankings given by writers and such...They have traditionally awarded the National Championship via the sports writers and such, the BCS is relatively new, and obviously flawed...The writers have every right to name a champion, because they operate on something no computer can calcuate...
If anyone is interested in a snippet of how it really goes down, and not just the amazing LG factoids, here you go...
NCAA Division 1A Football Champions
Each year since 1883 a college football champions has been declared. Although the method has evolved over the years the tradition is carried on today with a NCAA Division 1A Football Champion being compiled by the BCS computers. Below are some of the other selectors:
Helms Athletic Foundation (H) 1883†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™‚¢‚¢¢¢¬…¡‚¬¢‚¬¦¢¢¬…œ1935
The Dickinson System (D) 1924†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™‚¢‚¢¢¢¬…¡‚¬¢‚¬¦¢¢¬…œ40
The Associated Press (AP) 1936†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™‚¢‚¢¢¢¬…¡‚¬¢‚¬¦¢¢¬…œpresent,
United Press International (UPI) 1958†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™‚¢‚¢¢¢¬…¡‚¬¢‚¬¦¢¢¬…œ90,
USA Today/CNN (CNN) 1991†™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™‚¢‚¢¢¢¬…¡‚¬¢‚¬¦¢¢¬…œ96,

Turn to page 87, and see who has won the national championship each year...I reckon if anyone knows, its the NCAA...

No....the AP writers and voters bought into the BCS system....so when that system spits out the two teams that should be in the national championship...debate or not debate...the national champion is the team that wins that game......if the system is screwed up....they shouldnt have bought into it....but becasue they agreed to the system....they should have to go along with the system...and not be able to just start naming teams champions...
The national champion is the winner of the national championship in my book......

....the winner of the national championship....is the national champion....regardless if another team should be there in their place or not....
if you wanna post articles and all that jazz to make you feel more justified in calling USC back to back winners until they lost this year.....feel free.......I'll go with the team that wins the national championship.....like in every other year..and in every other sport.
Don't go posting an article.....it wont change anything..and I'm not being ignorant.......I'm being logical.....and this is the way it should be done and always has been done.

Unbelieveable...
That's not an article dummy, that's a screep cap of the OFFICIAL BCS WEBSITE...I don't need to justify anything, its you that is looking for justification, the damn BCS organization says the championship is split...If they say its a split national championship, its a split national championship...You can, and probably will, continue to act like a moron in the face of facts though...Don't matter me one bit, I'm starting to enjoy this...Everyone that comes the sports section and reads this thread should know from the gate how much weight you words carry on from hence forth...So keep on going...
The BCS didn't come into existance until just before the 1998 season...Do you know who decided the national champion before then..? Probably not...They created the BCS to give college football an "official" championship game, it didn't have one before...The BCS was a system designed on rankings to AID in the selection of a champion...It is concrete, but only to the extent that the people that voted for the national championship before still have a say so...I mean, they helped create it, but it doesn't override them...
Poor baby...You are being exposed in the worst way, seems you don't know thing one about college football...Even worse, not even raum can save you from this...ROFL...
