College football this past year was one of the most memorable yet and not necessarily for the right reason either. There was a major upset (referring to teams in the top 10) every week. The first week featured arguably the biggest upset ever. Appalachian State played at #5 Michigan in “The Big House” and left there with a win via a blocked field goal in the waning seconds of the game.
The BCS championship game and other bowl games are always a controversy because many believe the computer puts the wrong two teams in each game.
One reason why the league doesn’t change the BCS matchups format is because it will invalidate the regular season. That means that every game is important and teams have to win at the end of the season in order to stay at the top of the rankings. However, in other sports, every game is not as important because all a team has to do is to have a better record when the regular season is over.
The computers put Ohio State Buckeyes #1 and the LSU Tigers #2. Ohio State was the #1 team because they only lost 1 game but that fact is misleading because their schedule is poor. Their conference is not very good as compared to the SEC.
Last year the #2 Florida Gators put a beatdown on #1 Ohio State. This year LSU did the same thing. Many people believed that LSU would win because the game was being played at the New Orleans Saints SuperDome, which is 50-100 miles away from their home stadium in Baton Rouge.
Fans from Tiger Country showed up with LSU Tigers merchandise like banners, pom poms, and newly bought fleeces. The Buckeyes fans supported their team with Ohio State Buckeyes merchandise as well.
