That's It?

Today is January 11. Way back in August the talk began about college football and the games started. Five months later the champion is decided. The regular season was one of the most exciting in recent memory, but the climax was horrible. Last night was one of the worst championship games that I've seen in my young life. When it was first determined that Oregon and Auburn would be playing, I knew it would be a boring game. But I expected more than that. We waited all that time and that's the game we get? I don't care about the television ratings. The game was boring, complete with few big plays and poor play calling. Both teams run the same high speed high school offense, which meant that the same plays were being ran all night long. The Heisman Trophy winner didn't do anything all game except miss big plays and almost cost his team the win. The third place finisher did very little as well. Neither team looked good. Maybe it was the rust. Maybe it was nerves. Whatever the reason, I can't wait until something happens that forces playoffs. It's ridiculous. Earlier in the season I said Alabama was the best team. I still think they are. Auburn was lucky all season and Oregon didn't play anybody. TCU probably would've beaten either team. The arguments about what would happen are worthless though. Auburn won. That's the end of it. A new season starts in August. I can't wait.
