National Title: LSU V. Hawaii

joestalin

If Hawaii can hold off Wash, they have to be in the big dance. All the other teams I have seen suck big time. LSU plays in the hardest
conf and had to play an extra game. Lets see them versus the only perfect team.

Hawaii is stinking up Aloha stadium so far. Jesus Christ, 3 fumbles in the first quarter!!

Unless they score 42 unanswered points in the next 3 quarters, they will not even get a whiff of a BCS bowl bid.

Hey Joe, when Ohio State wins the title you'll be able to see the Vest front and center. Especially since it'll be against a team who lost twice to unranked teams but got rewarded with a home game for the title.

Get your popcorn ready, it's gonna be a show!

Hawaii is rolling till you ride their bandwagon... what a kiss of death.

I'd love to see Hawaii in the title game. Unfortunately, I truly believe the powers that be will ensure that Hawaii will at best get a BCS game. I wouldn't be surprised if they were left out entirely.

Hawaii played cupcakes and so did OSU. Hawaii played a team in the top 20. OSU didn't.

Put them in the big game!

Gee... Ohio State crushed Washington in Seattle, crushed Penn State at Happy Valley... held Michigan to under 100 offensive yards at the Big House, handily beat a 9-3 Wisconsin team.

OSU deserves to be in the title game... the bigger problem is figuring out who they are going to play

There should be a playoff. All other arguments are ridiculous.

Kevin enough of the "They played all cupcakes" thing. You say that about EVERY team except FSU and Tampa Bay.......WELCHER

I think it's unfortunate that the system is set up such that a team -- even with a relatively weak schedule -- that finished the regular season undefeated can't keep playing until they've either lost a game or proven to be the best on the field.

For sure, by virtue of going undefeated, I think they deserve to be in the BCS. (Not the championship game, but some BCS bowl.) I think it would be a shame if they won that game that they'd be done playing without a chance to prove anything. The same was true for Boise last year. They finish the season 13-0 and beat a very good Oklahoma team in their BCS bowl game, which at least proved they belonged in the discussion. One game's not enough to anoint them champs, IMO, but it should be good enough to give them a shot at beating the tentative "champion" (Florida last year).

If a weak-scheduled, undefeated team won a BCS bowl game AND a +1 game against the winner of the "1 vs. 2" game, IMO that would remove any question about their legitimacy as the champions. But without that, we are left with very real questions. Is Hawaii #1? Probably not, but not many thought Boise would beat OU last year, either.

I don't know if we'll ever see a full blown playoff. But absent that, I still think it's a shame that a team can go undefeated, win a BCS bowl game and still NOT have a crack against #1 to see whether they are truly legitimate championship material or merely a very good team that isn't quite at the top.

OSUs non-conference schedule was weak, but playing Penn State, Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan in a row cannot be described as playing "cupcakes".

Teams refused to play Hawaii. In fact, MSU paid $250,000 to cancel their scheduled meeting this year.

And I don't think ANYONE can talk smack about schedules when their bandwagon team plays Duke and UAB in the same seaon.
