Wake Me Up When It's Over

"I don't like to squash one's creativity."

I'm a partisan hack, so my opinion won't matter much tonight. But, it's easy as 1-2-3 to me.

1. The winner of the Fiesta Bowl -- Texas -- doesn't deserve the AP national championship. They needed all but 18 seconds of the entire game to defeat Ohio State. Truly a yawner. The only thing they can be honestly crowned is the Fiesta Bowl champions. Boo hookem hoo. Mack Brown says he will vote them #1 on Friday morning because he thinks they're the best team in the country. Based on surviving Tressel Ball in the desert? Who hit him in the head during this snoozer? He is completely delusional. Colt McCoy doesn't think anyone in the country can beat his team now. He needs to watch more film. I would recommend he begin with film of the Rose Bowl on 1/1/09.

2. USC already beat the living daylights out of Ohio State -- the game was over before halftime. They would also beat the living daylights out of this particular Texas edition. It would be over before halftime, too. The score at halftime of this game was a whopping 6-3, three field goals. If Mack Brown is right, then USC really is the NFL franchise in Los Angeles.

3. Oklahoma is playing Florida for the BCS title because of their win vs. Texas Tech, who lost in the Cotton Bowl to the only team to beat Florida. OU lost to Texas by 10 points and spent the rest of the season beating up lowly opponents to generate enough style points in the computers for the eventual spit-out. OU lost to Texas by seven more points than Ohio State's losing margin. Is Ohio State a better team than Oklahoma? Not even close. So, that means that Texas isn't even close to the best team in the country either. The Big XII South has been completely exposed in the post-season.

Go Gators!!
