Considering the BCS
Although ESPN's official take on January's BCS matchups is to puff them up, I don't particularly trust ESPN to report these things objectively. As a Penn State fan I would've liked to see a Penn State/Notre Dame matchup. Most seem to agree. Joe Paterno/Bobby Bowden has its charm, and Notre Dame/OSU will be intriguing (with any luck for the Irish), but the fact is the matchups, all around, pale next what we could've seen had a playoff had been in place (and h/t to my friend Mike from Chicago, who is a ND alum and partisan, for pointing this out):
Week one:
USC v. Miami
Texas v. Georgia
PSU v. ND
OSU v. Oregon
Second week:
USC/Miami v. OSU/Oregon
Texas/Georgia v. ND/PSU
Now that would be intriguing. As it stands, I'm hoping PSU waxes FSU, and that OSU waxes UND (sorry Mike). I just don't think UND belongs in that game.
