Go Bucks! Just one more game to go...

In case any of you missed it, in college football on Saturday 11/18/06, the Buckeyes of The Ohio State University beat the Wolverines of the University of Michigan 42-39 in Columbus. What else can be said if you missed The Game? Go buy the replay at iTunes and watch it, and if afterwards you don't understand how the biggest and best rivalry in college football is Ohio State vs. U of M, then there really is no hope for you of ever being worthy of wearing the scarlet and gray! ;)

The #1 team beat the #2 team in the nation. Both teams came in to the game with undefeated seasons, last game of the season (besides bowl games), and with not only the Big 10 championship on the line, but the national title on the line.

It was a great game that will go down as one of the best in the series. Hard fought, and for the most part cleanly played on both sides. The officials made a couple mistakes, missed a few calls that should have been made, but for the most part were pretty impartial.

So, for all you Wolverine fans out there, well played, but in the end... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

And, for the BCS... HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! as well... What are you going to do now as far as a national championship goes? A rematch of The Buckeyes and Wolverines? What is a rematch game in close to 50 days going to mean in comparison to this one? Say a rematch occurs and Michigan beats Ohio State? Michigan gets the National Championship, or Ohio State and Michigan share it?

So, the alternatives are The Buckeyes vs. #3 USC (who had a tough time against then #17 Cal and still has to play rivals #6 Notre Dame and UCLA) or #4 Florida (who beat a nobody of WNC 62-0 and have yet to play instate rival Florida State) or #5 Arkansas (who struggled against a 3 win team on Saturday and still has to #9 LSU) or #6 Notre Dame (who still has to play rival #3 USC).

Or, they can go back to what the BCS was created to prevent... having a school from a less prestigious conference like #12 Boise State of the WAC have a shot at the National Championship for being the only other team with an undefeated season in Division 1-A (Hey, can't be having any of them BYU like teams upstaging the big money teams of the Big 10, Big 8 Pac 10, SEC, ACC, and Big East ever again now, can we... How many of you remember the anger certain coaches and teams leveled at BYU back in 1984?).

The Game played and won by The Buckeyes on Saturday just past is not only a papercut to all those poor folks who choose to dress in maize and blue, but also to the whole BCS concept. GO BUCKS!
