Anyone watching the BCS Championship game?

I hope LSU can win t because it will deal the BCS a bigger hit. I know a lot of people aren't watching, because the real champion already won, but it's looking like it should be a pretty close game. I think OU will pull it out, but I've had pretty bad luck picking winners the last few days.
 
What time did it start. I have tried to find it but can't.
 
It's on ABC, started at 7:00. 7-7 now, 6:26 left in the 2nd Qtr.
 
To be honest, I thought LSU would just kick butt...interception by the Sooners.
 
I thought we'd see an air war, lots of passes being completed and basically a high-scoring shootout. So far, it's really been a defensive battle between the two teams.

Right now I pick LSU to come out on top.
 
GREAT PLAY by LSU. DEFENSE!

I have to root for LSU after they beat my DAWGS.
 
This is nothing like last years title game, Oklahoma is getting schooled....
 
Congratulations to LSU, 2003 BCS Champion and winner of the Nokia Sugar Bowl.
 
Wonder if Stoops is ready to concede that LSU has the best defense yet? His comments going into halftime really sounded snotty. Guess he has all year to rethink it now.
 
Welp Oklahoma wins the 2003 BCS championship to prove they had a right to be there, NOT!!!

Should have been LSU VS USC this just proves it even more. BCS, YOUR ORGANIZATION AND SYSTEM SUCKS!!!!
 
Three of the coachs who were obligated to vote for LSU automatically because of the agreement voted for USC! It was good to see LSU win, OU did make it close at the end, but the best player in the country wasn't able to do anything to send it to OT. At least the Refs played no part in the outcome of the game like last year. USC is offically the people's champion! :) Of course the best part about this whole deal is watching the BCS commissioner rip the system apart and say "I knew this was going to happen." Hopefully this paves the way for changes for next year.

I didn't know Rothlisberger was in this game. :D
 
Now you folks know why I dont watch, cheer for, participate in the hoopla of or condone college athletics. The biggest outrage the Kremlin ever unleashed on the American public was giving a damned 'scholarship' to a bunch of idiots that can't pour piss out of a boot simply for being able to throw a ball up and down a field. Ban the crap altogether. Or better yet give farmers and truck drivers 'scholarships' for no real reason.

Well it's not my opinion that he was the best player in the country. Personally, I think the Heisman is a farce, being that defensive players very rarely win it, and quite often are more deserving.
 
Still find it hard to believe that the NCAA does not sponsor a football champion in their top division. Thats why theyre called the BCS National Champion and not National Champion. It's more like a business now really. So really, the NCAA doesnt have any say in crowning a champion at all. The link below proves it all.

The NCAA does not conduct a national championship in Division I-A football and is not involved in the selection process. Since 1998, the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) operated jointly by the ACC, Southeastern, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten and Pacific-10 Conferences uses a ranking system to determine the number one and number two teams at the end of the season. These two teams play each other in a post-season bowl game for the BCS national championship, of course we do know that :p

This link leads to a year-by-year history of Division I-A football national champions as determined by various organizations:

and if the forum powers dont mind, I found another interesting topic on the subject

OU got punked again. After seeing the score Kansas State beat OU by I thought Ohio State might be in some trouble. But OSU slapped KSU all around the field until they went into their "prevent defense" and KSU scored a couple meaningless TD's.

I thought Oklahoma was overrated before they lost their first game. I guess they proved that in style the last two games.
 
It seems to me to find a true champion in Div. 1 football they need to take the top four in the final standings and let #1 play #4 and let #2 play #3 and then take the winners of those two games and let them play for the National Title. That would have put U.S.C playing L.S.U which should have been the game for the championship anyway.
 
Exactly what I have been saying. They should rotate the "championship semifinals" between the 4 current BCS bowls Sugar, Fiesta, Orange and Rose bowls. Then hold the Championship game the next week at another sight. The bowls would still get their games and imagine the payday for the NCAA with just one more game for all the marbles.
 
Te most common arguments against this scenario are the increase in the number of games and the cost to the institutions. Not saying I agree with these arguments, just tossing them out onto the table for dissection.
 
I don't understand how that can cost the institutions when the big 4 major bowl games 14 to 17 million dollars apeice? Cut those back to 10 to 12 million and make the title game 20 million.

There is no cost to the institutions. The schools get paid very well for playing in these games. Who would pay for the extra game? Television, the fans who buy tickets for it, consessions, etc. It would be a financial windfall for college football and the two schools involved in the game especially.
