Tough break for Hawaii, who has a fine program and does some nice things – they just got booked way way WAY above their weight class. Really, this was Georgia’s only option. If you lose, disaster – and if you win, you were supposed to. All you can do is pour it on and try to destroy your opponent. It’s not fair, it’s not right, but the way the system is constituted, it’s all you’ve got. Once we have a playoff and take human selectors out of the system, we can afford things like sportsmanship again. And after Arkansas and Florida took a dump today (Heisman curse? Anyone?), Georgia pretty much has to put it down HARD for the SEC. And even so, they have some kid at QB who apparently has his age on his jersey…
Meanwhile, the audio is shot on this broadcast, the announcers are godawful, the production values are mediocre at best – FOX doesn’t show a lick of college football until January 1. That they have all the BCS games but one is one more proof of the blight that is the BCS. Either have a playoff or blow it all up and go back to a truly mythical national championship, which I think would make everyone happier.
OBTW – the SEC put 4 teams on TV today. If the Pac-10 is sincerely happy with their bowl contracts, then their commissioner should be staked out on a fire ant mound.
