Oh, they get all of the props in the world for basketball, that sport decides its champion via a legitimate system that gives every team equal access to the big game.
I give no team any props in football though. It's a sham. Boise State and Louisville had equal claim to the opportunity to play in for a championship game, but got hosed because of how biased and unjust the system is. And my commitment is unwaivering to this, too. If WVU were to win the fake national championship, I'll be the first on here to say its a sham. I would actually be pissed off...and why? Because some guy from some other conference will whine - very justly, mind you - that they didn't get a fair shake at the opportunity to prove themselves. If WVU is crowned champs, I want there to be no question...I want it to be unequivocal...nobody can say **** about it. The way the system is now, God only knows who the best team truely is. I'm CERTAINLY not convinced Florida was last season. The Big Ten lost so pathetically in their BCS games, that it makes you wonder what the hell was what. I honestly think Louisville could have given them a game, USC, too. Hell USC beat Michigan just as bad as UF beat OSU. WVU would have gotten slaughtered in a BCS game last season because the entire damn team was injured (Slaton, White, Myles, Sheffy, Isdaner...and on...and on..), so I'm not going to say they would have given them a game. Hell, they barely beat the sorry ass #2 ACC team. But, anyway, we'll never know who was good.....stupid BCS...
I would have loved to have seen Florida play Louisville and USC last year. That would have been one hell of a series if it weren't for those lame ass Big Ten frauds messing everything up.
I just want a playoff. Then there won't be anymore fake championships. Whoever was the best last year would have risen to the top and there would have been no doubt...
Haha, WVU needs to work on defeating the might University of South Florida (Division I for approximately three years) and not finishing third in the Big East before getting within a hundred miles of the Swamp. Until then, keep beating up on Syracuse and Pitt.
They actually finished #2 in the BE behind Stinkin' Louisville - ranked by Sagarin (whose polls are a sham, anyway....but some people like them) as the #2 conference behind the SEC.
About USF - they are actually a quality team. I don't care if they've been in the Big East 3 years or 20. Their defense is so FAST it is unreal. I saw WVU go up against the best of the SEC in the Sugar Bowl last season - in person...and Georgia and their fabled defensive speed was NOTHING compared to how FAST USF was on defense last year. They have the best Sophomore quarterback in that nation, too.
Though that game was a freak accident. WVU was so unprepared....and I'm not making this up...that during one play, two of the WRs going out for a pass ACTUALLY ran into each other and fell down. It was the funniest and most pathetic thing I had ever seen. The entire game was depressing. The middle of the field was wide open all day, but ol RichRod was stubborn and obsessed with pounding it out off the tackle. Not a good idea with the speedy LBs USF had that are going to be playing on Sundays this fall. This was the week Rodriguez was being confronted by Alabama for their coaching vacancy, too. Maybe his mind was elsewhere, who freakin' knows.
I can't wait to see USF take on Auburn, personally. I'm plunking down some cash on USF to cover the spread if they are given any more than 7 points.
