Don't know which is worse. Even for a traditionalist like me, I would love to see the bowls scrapped and involved in a playoff. But greed continues to conquer over good sense. Georgia in the Championship? nope. Fail to take care of business over a season, and you don't get in. Yes, they beat the hated Gators, but against a beat-up Tebow. Tennessee didn't get that luxury, but had QB injury issues of their own. Plus, GA faltered against S. Carolina and was blown out by the Vols. LSU at 11-2 gets it as SEC Champs and by shellacking Va Tech, ACC Champs. Ohio State? I can live with it, as much as I dislike it and think they will be drilled if LSU is healthy. But they get in the game because they only had one loss, to a quality foe, and they were Big 10 Champs. USC....they deserve it as much as LSU, except for that stinker against Stanford. The bottom line, Ohio State, LSU and USC, and even Oklahoma, all deserve a chance, but someone must be left out. Such is life without a playoff. From sunny Jacksonville! Larry Old friend,

Crazy how things end up. Looks like the BCS is the winner here as they can have their poster child game of LSU and Ohio State if they want. Ugh... Good post Gabe. Crazy how things end up.
