Clearly there needs to be some balance, but if I had to chhose between a stronger offense & defense... I would choose D everytime.

Defense wins championships
They did what they had to do to hold Oregon to 19.

But the reason Aub won by a late FG is because they played poorly, right?

Penn State should be fine then

And in all of those superbowls those defenses made plays to win

And so did the offenses.....

And special teams....

"Defense does not win championships. They give you a chance." - Warren Sapp

Unless your defense scores on its own through a safety, return INT or fumble, it is the offense that outscores the opponent. The defense can set the offense up in great position to score, but I haven't seen many 2-0 games.

A truly great team needs to be balanced in all facets of the game.

And it's that simple.

I disagree, the following BCS champs and what their offensive output was:

'04 USC - Averaged 450 yds a game and 38 ppg

'05 Texas - Averaged 512 yds a game and 50 ppg

'06 UF - Averaged 400 yds a game and 30 ppg

'07 LSU - Averaged 440 yds a game and 39 ppg

'08 UF - Averaged 445 yds a game and 43 ppg

'10 AU - Averaged 500 yds a game and 41 ppg

'09 Bama is the exception to your theory, as they won during the season with a very good defense and a good, not great, offense.

I don't know....having a decent kicker would probably have some kind of effect.
