The BCS shuffle

Nighttrain987's comment from the ESPN messageboards:

For those just joining the conversation, I'll recap:
OSU-fan: "We're THE Ohio State University. Clearly we're entitled"
UGA-fan: "We're playing better than anyone right now, we deserve to go". (i.e. a 6-game winning streak trumps everything else, incl. overall wins-losses and especially SOS)
VT-fan: "Please forget about the first couple weeks of the season, they shouldn't count. Let us in!"
OU-fan: "Hey, anybody remember us from the 1980's??? Anybody???" {crickets chirping}
Hawaii-fan: "Let us please play for a NC before we're demoted to D-III. We're undefeated, like a few other D-II and D-III FB programs"
LSU-fan: "Dropping from #1 to #7 after the final regular season game was unjust. Make it right."


I am sitting here with a bottle of Brut in hand waiting waiting waiting to see what the BCS will bring come 8pm EST. I am praying praying praying that Santa comes a few weeks early this year and makes an incredible gift to Bulldogs everywhere and those fucks with their polls and their computers get it right and let us play for the national championship.

What a weekend. #1 and #2 both lost for the second straight week and the best team in the SEC didn't get a chance to play for its conference -- a game that I have no doubt in my mind that we would have won. At very worst this nation will not have to suffer through a completely bogus game in Mizzou v. WVU. Both teams were exposed badly and rightly so. There is a reason they are seen as 2nd-tier programs. They are 2nd-tier programs.

I'm not going to puff up and proclaim that Georgia is the best team in the country hands down and that we are entitled to the game. But I sure as hell know -- with no shred of doubt in my mind or heart -- that we deserve the right to play, and to show to the entire country who we are. Yes we have two losses, but our losses are no worse than LSU's or Va Tech's and they are certainly much better than USC's or Oklahoma's. There is no other team than UGA that is hotter, more explosive, or scares the beejesus out of Ohio State more than us.

Do the right thing you BCS dorks, you handlers of fate, you dolers of dollars...name LSU and UGA the rightful #1 and #2 and let Richt, Stafford, and Knowshon show the land that Georgia is the state for college football and that Bulldog Nation finishes the drill!

WVU a 2nd-tier program? Care to explain the 2006 Sugar Bowl:

WVU - 38 / UGA - 35

Fucking moron.

Speaking of football, how about a blog about what a douchebag Bobby Petrino is?
