  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Ohio vs. LSU

Oh how little I care about this game. Its the first time i many years I just dont really care who wins the national championship. Anyone else feel this way?:bottle: Ive been drinkin!
Wholeheartedly.....what a bunch of junk, no offense to the Tigers or Buckeyes.

The NCAA needs a playoff.

The only reason that i feel that USC should make a plus one game is that they won their conference. and I will call BS on the east coast bias

LOL, Ohio is 0-9 against SEC teams now. They're pretty good at self destructing for some reason :dunno:
I agree that they are good at self destructing, but I also think we are seeing that the Big Ten is much weaker than the SEC or PAC-10. Unfortunately, the BCS is not a level playing field and rankings are heavily weighed towards won-lost records. An 11-1 record in the Big Ten or Big Eight is not the same as an 10-2 or 11-2 record in the SEC or PAC-10, as we see time and time again. The BCS system is hopelessly flawed. As someone already mentioned though, this is about $$$, and nobody is willing to give up that fix. Long a fan of a playoff system, I fear that the "plus one" will die and the BCS will be renewed for another 10 years. . .:shame: At least the "plus one" would be a step in the right direction.
