I just got my Sporting News in the mail today. Turning to page 6, there's a prediction of month-by-month sports stories and events for 2008. The entire page is meant to be a joke....
SEPTEMBER: LSU and USC open the season a combined 0-6, but they remain 1-2 in the polls as voters confess "wins and losses are largely irrelevant" in college football.
Do they even realize how close they are to the truth?
UGA and USC have ZERO claim to a national championship. ZERO.
ZERO.

Let's see:
Fl 3rd highest ranked team in SEC gets Big 10 #3 in UM in a virtual home game.
KY-FSU even match up but KY gets an home game against and still barely wins against FSU less 35 players.
LSU home game vs OSU
UGA gets a decided home field advantage vs some high school team I never heard of.
AL plays in SEC country vs pitiful CU.
Too bad UGA could not have played USC. It could have been 0-3 for the big 3 SEC teams.
Other the other hand
PSU plays AM in Texas
Ill plays monster heavyweight USC in LA
UM plays FL in FL
UW plays UT in SEC country
OSU plays LSU at LSU annex. |

No actually there is a clear cut champion, the winner of the OSU/LSU game.

Last year, I believe OSU was the best team in the country, but they lost to UF and that was it. This year, no matter who wins, the arguments will rage that their team should have had a shot at playing.

People will argue their team woulda, coulda, shoulda done this and that no matter what and the media will use it to get ratings for as long as they can. Thsi is not unique to 2007.
Also for every argument that could be put forth for a team there is a more compelling reason against them that could be used.
All you are hearing is guys who stir up controversy for a living, making a living.

By the way I missed the pregame show last night. Mark May have anything to say about the sluggish Wolverines?

USC gave up any claim when they lost at home to a 41-point underdog that was playing its backup QB.
Georgia gave up any claim when it got incested by 3 TDs at Tennessee (down 35-0 at one point).
