My Last Comment on College Football (Until My Next Comment on College Football)

Congratulations to LSU! Last night LSU won the hollowest national title in the modern era of college football (provided we define modern era as since the formation of the Bowl Alliance and then Bowl Championship Series). That sounds insulting to LSU and I suppose it is but when you have a horrible system like this then you’re going to end up with questionable results. Truthfully LSU might be the best team in the country. I’m not completely convinced they’re better than Georgia or USC or maybe even Oklahoma or Missouri. The bigger part of the problem is that I don’t think Ohio State is better than probably the seventh or eighth best team in the country. Especially in a season like this one where there are so many teams separated by so little it makes no sense to limit it to a one game playoff.

Again, congratulations to LSU. They very well might be the best team in the country. It’s a shame there’s no way to find out for sure. Thank God football is done and now we can get more to basketball.
