Are the Gators Really the Best Team…Or a By Product of the BCS System?

Whoohoo, Yippee Freaking Skippy…The Florida Gators are National Champions of college football. You know, they only needed Ohio State to have a 51, that’s right, a 51 day lay off , (no I didn’t stutter, at least not this time) between the Michigan game and that not so epic game last night to get it done too. Fifty-one days…Another great way to determine college football’s best team in the country. My gosh, when teams report back in the summer they have half as many days to get ready for opening day in the first week in September…And now we’re supposed to believe exactly what we saw last night. That the Florida Gators are really indeed better than Ohio State…While that may be, honestly there’s no way for us to actually know.
How is it then that a team such as Florida, who for all intensive purposes not supposed to be playing in the National Championship game, suddenly go from that to be “The Best Team in the Country”…Is beyond me. The only reason why the Gators played the Buckeyes last night was simply due to the fact that very few people out there wanted to see an Ohio State-Michigan rematch after UCLA shocked USC…Been there, done that! Oh yeah, let’s not forget too Urban Meyer did a hell of a job in his national address sob story to speak on why the Gators should really be in this game. Now I may be off my rocker here, but honestly I still think Florida is highly overrated and yes, aren’t the National Champions even if that’s what the BCS would like us to believe! So if they aren’t, who is then…Good question. I don’t have the answer to that and neither does anybody out there. I know two things, computers don’t know jack…And even if they did there should not be that much lay off period in between games. If that was the case, why don’t they move the Super Bowl to the last week of March…You know, right before the Final Four! Wouldn’t that be awesome? Don’t worry about the Final Four…The Semifinals will be played on that Saturday before the new “Super Bowl Sunday.” We’ll just move the Championship Game to sometime in June…You know, work it around the NBA Playoffs. See, the long lay off always favors the underdog…And for peeps who disagree with that assessment, well it’s good to know you don’t know jack about sports.
Now I’m sure people will argue that Florida was only off two less weeks…For those of you out there, please shut up! Only two less weeks huh, so let me ask those people this then…Let’s take the week of Thanksgiving for example, since most people take the whole week off. How sluggish does one feel after just one week of being off, hanging around like wallpaper…Now add 44 more days to that! Now of course the Buckeyes won’t use that as an excuse, nor should they…Although you can’t simply ignore the fact, Jack!
So Florida rolled Ohio State, so then how is it that the Buckeyes only dropped a spot to number two in the polls? I thought this was college football? Usually when a team gets rolled in the fashion they did, well they drop in the polls just like Tom Cruise’s career has fallen! And the last time I checked, 41-14 is considered a behind the woodshed beating! Good to know after Boise State rolled over everybody on their schedule the consolation prize is a number five ranking…Good job, thanks for coming Broncos, enjoy your parting gifts! What’s up with that? Didn’t the Broncos beat Oregon State, and Oregon State beat USC, USC rolled Michigan, Ohio State squeaked by Michigan before getting rolled by the Gators. So with that logic Boise should be at least number two, right? I mean it’s not great logic, but neither is the BCS and college football. Oh yeah, I’m forgetting one small detail…That Boise State team, yeah they went undefeated! Didn’t Florida lose to Auburn somewhere along the way?
Yet, once again as the curtain has fallen on another college football season we are left with more questions than answers. Several will argue that’s the beauty of college football…Beauty, huh. I don’t know about you, but this shows no resemblance of a hot blonde with fake jugs. Although, I did get the “fake” part right here…As long as we go without a playoff that’s exactly what college football will be! FAKE, and honor fake champions! Good to know we have until the year 2010 until we start crowning champions the way it ought to be, in a playoff! Some figure this as beauty…To me this looks more along the lines like “The Betty Buttaface Beauty Pageant” whose motto is “The Perfect Shape With The Face Of An Ape!” It’s just good to see Gators and Apes can play nice.
Vote in LastRowSports.com Pick’em Poll this week which asks about “Cowboys Gaffes?” This is an interesting one considering what Tony Bobble did in Seattle!

NOTE: This isn’t a scientific poll, however by not voting in this non-scientific poll we’ll assume that you would rather give a cat a bath!
