BCS got it right
People can argue all they want, but the best two teams are playing for the BCS title this year. That’s not to say they are the most deserving teams — Hawaii deserves a crack at it — but they are the best. Oklahoma is the only other team with a realistic argument at playing on Jan. 7 with two impressive wins over Missouri.
Unless Ohio State suffers another game-ending injury to its best player on the opening kickoff like last year, we can expect a very good game. (Not that the Buckeyes would have won last year, but if Ginn had played the entire game, it would have at least been respectable.)
But those of us who want to see a playoff can only hope for one thing — Hawaii to thump Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. A undefeated Hawaii team has just as much a claim to a “national championship” as anyone else (and even moreso than the 1984 BYU team who beat a 6-6 Michigan team by a touchdown in the Holiday Bowl).
