...national championship game"

-this was said in 2003 after Oklahoma was obliterated by KSU in the Big XII title game.......





Does anyone know who said it?

So I'll tell the St Louis Cardinals they didn't win the World Series, yeah Rangers, and the Green Bay Packers didn't win the Super Bowl. Neither could have won it because they didn't win their conference or division title.

but they had playoffs

when a championship game is selected and not played out on the field there should be no rematches and you should have to win your conference to get in

Its a little bit of a different situation...Green Bay got to play as a wildcard and went on to win the Super Bowl...

If the NFL had something similar to the BCS, Chicago would have gotten in over Green Bay, because they WON THAT DIVISION...Actually, the Super Bowl probably would have been Pittsburgh vs. Chicago

If college football had a 16 team playoff where all conference champs had a shot, and the top teams weren't dissected, then you'd have a case...

As it is right now, I think alot of sports writers are suddenly surprised that Alabama might actually be set for a rematch, above other teams that might actually win their conferences ...we all know Alabama is good, I think alot of people are watching these polls overrule the regular season, and are disgusted with it (yet again).

Yep, playoffs are awesome! I'm glad we all agree that college football does not have a playoff, and since every week is part of the "playoffs" of college football, Alabama won't play in week 14 and therefore has no business playing for the national championship. :wacko:

Yeah they lost it on the field during the regular season. The conference champions also played, the Chicago Bears and the Milwaukee Brewers. Therefore under you're premise, whoever wins the Big East should be considered ahead of Alabama. Makes sense, eh moron.
