...The FCS National Championship Game: Montana vs. Richmond (8:00 pm, ESPN2) Those of you who follow the FCS closely probably didn't have the Grizzlies and the Spiders as your final two. I know I didn't. Both teams won their semifinal games (against James Madison and Northern Iowa, respectively) and the Spiders put together a spectacular game winning drive to stun the UNI home crowd last week. As a sidenote, Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher's son, Brandon, is a linebacker for the Grizzlies. So, as Hank Williams, Jr. once said, Brandon's carrying on an ol' "family tradition."

Isn't BCS that group that ran the stats on WWII through their computer and came up with the GERMANS winning, with the US below FRANCE? Something about the win/loss record or some such thing. Why not divide the country into divisions, let the teams duke it out, then have a Super Bowl for College teams? Or isn't that what the Rose Bowl used to be?

Even though “the boys from Boone” my beloved Appalachian State Mountaineers didn’t advance to the championship, it’s great to know they played for a Championship instead of the Muffler bowl in Charlotte.

Funny that a fellow from Idaho would know about Dyer’s never changed grease in a 100 years hamburgers. There’s more truth to your West Tenn. joke than you know. Memphis playing in a bowl game is a joke.
Great Basketball though.
Go Tigers!

I am a huge NCAA football fan, Ohio State is my team.
But NCAA Div. 1 football is the only sport in America that holds it’s exhibition season at the end of the year. All of these bowl games, save one, are meaningless. And even the one that has meaning, the so called national championship game, has questionable legitimacy due to the subjective criteria used in choosing the participants.
Its sad really. What could be the most exciting time in American sports (imagine the December madness of a true playoff), surpassing March madness, the Super Bowl, and the World Series, is nothing more than a series of meaningless “who cares” bowls.

I remember back in the 70’s Richmond played at Georgia. With the home field advantage, UGA pulled off a win. Ah. found it. October 29, 1977 Georgia 23, Richmond 7. It was pretty much the highlight of a 5-6 season.
Who was that guy a few years ago that was whining about the SEC teams not playing out of region? Georgia whipped Oregon in the opening game of the season that year as well. 27-16.

And the crazy thing about that BYU team was that they played a 6-5 Michigan team in the Holiday Bowl. Pretty silly.

So far, a very good day for the SEC. Vandy gets their first bowl win in 50 years, and LSU is whupping up on GT.

I haven’t read through all the posts on this thread and this question may have been posted many times...But is there anyone in here who believe that the USC Trojans aren’t the BEST TEAM in College Football...I really hate the way the BCS is set up...I, for one, do not believe that Oklahoma snd Florida are the #1 and #2 teams in the NATION. I don’t believe there is any team in college football who can beat USC right now.

Utah made their case! If anyone is not convinced by now we need playoffs they are nuts.
