That's a slap in the face to Alabama IMO. One quarter away from the NC and you draw Utah in the Sugar Bowl. I wanted to see them play Texas personally, or at least Texas Tech.

No, it just that OSU didn't show up in the big games, but I am sure you are a OSU hater, we get many of those, which should happen with all the titles we have won in the past. Understandable.

I saw this on another board. I thought it was humorous.
BCS declares Germany winner of WWII

 

From Bleacher Report:

US Ranked 4th

AP - After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II.

“Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work–including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule–our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking.”

Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated “The US only had two major victories–Japan and Germany. The computer models, unlike humans, aren’t influenced by head-to-head contests–they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event.”

German Chancellor Adolph Hiter said “Yes, we lost to the US; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks.” Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn ’style points’ to enhance Germany’s rankings. Hitler protested “Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces.”

The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented “France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2.”

Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.

United States head coach Harry S Truman was criticized by many as having poor taste for scheduling a “politicking” interview during halftime of the German bombing raids over Great Britain.

In that interview, Truman stated, “Any way you look at it, there is going to be a really good military force that gets left out. But when you come right down to it, our head-to-head victory over the Germans has to be the deciding factor.”

A US fan also made the point that “Germany is getting all the style points right now because of their sexy offense, which continues to obliterate weaker opponents and show off their might after the battle is already won. But what about defense?”

Wow, Eric Berry just got screwed out of the Jim Thorpe award. I don't understand what it takes to win an award. Seriously, how the F did they pick Jenkins over Berry? Can anyone honestly say Jenkins had a better year as a DB than Berry?

Malcolm Jenkins - 54 tackles, 3 INTs for 7 yds 0 TDs, 3.5 TFL, 0 sacks

Eric Berry - 72 tackles, 7 INTs (1st NCAA) for 265 yds (1st NCAA, SEC record), and 2 TDs(1st NCAA), 8.5 TFL, 3 sacks

I have no idea, but I know he is on course to graduate early, and he's been quoted to join dental school. I don't think you can get in dental school with under a 3.0 GPA.
