Ethan: Are you also a little disappointed that you haven't seen commercials for this week's games that start with, "From the people who brought you the BCS...it's the Big 12 Championship Game!" Putting things in the BCS's hands is like hiring the producers of Operation Dumbo Drop to win you an Oscar.
Amir: Oklahoma/Missouri is the game everybody wants to see. Everybody in Missouri at least. Herm Edwards is already glued to his TV!
"You play to win the game! Twice in the last 19 weeks!"
Ethan: Do you think there's any way Texas dodges a bullet here? In all likelihood, Oklahoma pounds Missouri, but Missouri is also a very good team. (Loss to Kansas notwithstanding.)
Amir: Not gonna happen. Oklahoma didn't make it this far just to blow it. Here's my question, if Alabama loses a close one to Florida... are they still the best one loss team? And if so, would we see a rematch?!
Ethan: No rematch, but Alabama's incredibly good. They were so much better than Auburn that the Iron Bowl started to get boring in the second quarter. Plus, "John Parker Wilson" is a name that means you're destined to be the successful QB at Bama. It's like the exact opposite of "Freddie Kitchens." Why is no one giving Bama a chance against Florida?
Amir: Two words: No Idea. Wait, I mean, Tim Tebow. Alabama's strength of schedule is also 94th. Face it, they're the Ball State of the SEC and you know it.
Ethan: It's not Bama's fault. They tried to play a hard schedule; they had no way of knowing that road games at Clemson, Arkansas, Georgia, and LSU wouldn't be so impressive at the end of the year. Do you think that somewhere in the country there's a person, be it a fan, coach, or player, who thinks the BCS is a great idea and fully supports it?
