USC is the National Champion! Well...sort of....
It's a final! 28-14 SoCal over Michigan! A fine game played by USC. And this shows why the BCS is really missing a letter....
I don't really care about college football, but it's nice to watch bowls...and I had a USC winter coat at one point, so yeah! I know someone cares about college football out there. Post your celebration! Bring up your dissappointment with the damned BCS! Mett Leinart, QB of USC, is the game MVP.

I would have rather USC lost so OU could have a shot at the national championship to itself, but hopefully a split national championship will make people see a playoff is needed.

As a Big Ten fan I wanted Michigan to win, but I would love to see the BCS blown up, so good for USC.

Even though I really don't care about college sports, there is something about the BCS that makes me hate it with a passion....Oh yeah! The dumbess of the entire system!
I know ranking will always be an inaccurate science since most of the teams up there never play each other and there are over 110 teams to choose from in Division 1A alone (and yet more in other divisions, I remember a Division III conference I never heard of when a college tried to recruit me for football). However, when both the reporters and the coaches agree on a number 1 team, they should be in the national championship game. Likewise, if they also agree on a number 2 team, that team should form the other half of the matchup. Not the third ranked team! Something that also bit USC in the polls was this "quality win" formula. Basically, they beat a high ranked team earlier in the year, but the team fell out of the top 10 and raised the points counting against USC. (In the BCS, lowest score wins). It should be, if there was ever such a thing even in the formula, that you should get credit for beating the team that was considered, say, 6th, at the time, even if the team winds up out of the top 10 or even the top 25 by the end of the season. Aaarrrgh! I saw an ad in the latest Sports Illustrated (or The Sporting News) from Nike, that says "Just Do It" and had a small bracket, one game being USC vs. Michigan on Jan 1st, the other being LSU vs. Oklahoma on Jan 4th, then they merged into the National Championship Game on Jan 10th and shows the National Champion after that. I think this would be the best way, even though there will be so many arguments over whether the 5th ranked team should really be the 4th...but, at least the top ranked team won't be left out in the cold.

The BCS is never coming back since there contract with the bowls and conferences end in I think one or two years. By the way does anyone know if the human polls really even have an effect on the rating system?
