After tonight's effort by the Buckeyes, the Big Ten has lost their last four BCS games by an average of 22 points.  Oklahoma has lost its last four BCS games, including the no show versus Southern Cal in the 2005 Orange Bowl.  Notre Dame has lost in all three of its BCS appearances, although to be fair, they weren't favored in any of those games.  

To any SEC backers who want to crow about their massive speed advantage, please: Slow people can run far when no one is tackling them.  The Bayou Bengals averaged three yards a carry, had a long pass reception of twenty yards, a long punt return of eight and a long kick return of thirty.  Your conference indeed contains the national "champion" for the second straight year, but I grow more and more frustrated in having to wrap things up like this every damn January.  

As a college football fan - not a Notre Dame fan - it's a shame this postseason drug out for three weeks and we're no closer to finding a "best" team than we were after West Virginia and Missouri fell in the first weekend of December.  If the season itself weren't so fun, and a handful of bowl games each year so entertaining, I'd give up on this God forsaken sport until they find some better way to resolve it.  For the second time since 2003, we're left to wonder how a Southern Cal/Louisiana State championship would have played out, and we'll keep on wondering.

A side note from Rob and I's trip to Nashville on New Year's: We were in a bar on Broadway as overtime of the Peach Bowl came to a close, and as Auburn scored the winning touchdown, the hordes of Kentucky fans that had traveled south for the Music City Bowl broke into a loud chant of "SEC!  SEC!  SEC!".  I don't know if that story has a point, but I find it very entertaining.

(CornNation suggests kicking the Big MAC out as well, Iowa fans are sick that Ohio State embarrassed the league again, Pete is dissatisfied and Mike just couldn't even bring himself to care.  Yep, this is how everyone should feel after a "champion" is "crowned.")
