Why do conference championship games almost always disappoint? The Big Ten delivered in their first attempt but the others were clunkers. Oh well, hopefully the bowl season will come through with some drama.
Oklahoma State deserves the spot opposite LSU in the BCS Title game. They have a better resume than Alabama and why would anyone want to see a rematch of Alabama-LSU? The problem is that there is an assumption that SEC teams are better than everyone else so that even though Alabama has not beaten anyone in a down year for the SEC, they are perceived to be superior than the Cowboys. Bama's best win is Arkansas, but they got the Razorbacks early in the year wen that team was ravaged by injury. And this notion that Okie State does not deserve to go because they lost to a mediocre Iowa State squad is ludicrous. When top SEC teams lose to .500 teams from their program it is evidence of the depth of the conference. When it happens elsewhere we are supposed to downgrade those clubs.
