Here is the Problem With Football Polls...

Polls are opinion. In everyone's opinion this year, Ohio State was the best football team in the nation. Well, everyone was wrong. Not wrong in the sense that Ohio State lost to a Florida team on botched field goal or a fumble. Wrong in the sense that Ohio State should not have been playing in the title game. Ohio State should have been the team left out of the BCS championship. They should have been in the Rose Bowl playing against USC. A rematch between Florida and LSU would have been a better game. Boise State and Florida would have been interesting too.

Terry Bowden said that Ohio State lacked emotion. Emotion accounts for the personal fouls that Ohio State had early in the game. Ohio State was supposed to be better than Florida at every position. Last night's win wasn't David vs. Goliath. It exposed how fraudulent the BCS is. If there were a 4 game playoff, Ohio State would have been out the first round. FOX has the BCS through 2010. There is nothing in their contract that prohibits the BCS from changing to a plus 1 for a 4 team playoff. FOX has paid billions for this, they should demand changes.
