Ridgell's Originals

OK -- everyone whines about the BCS at this time of year, and almost everyone has some reason to complain. But most are just whining.

Texas: yep, you got screwed this year. I think you are one of the two best teams in the country right now. Don't blame the BCS, blame the Big 12. Stupid tiebreaker rule kept you out.

Tech: I know it's tough, but Oklahoma killed you. Great year tho. Exciting times and sorry you are going to lose your coach.

Alabama: If you lose to Florida, you have no chance to play for all the marbles. Even a 1 point loss. Better to lose early than late.

Florida: You may be right that your conference championship should be the national championship.

USC: Get a conference championship. You should win it every year and that would help.

Penn State: see above. Have your champion not get killed every year in the championship game. And quit living off your old reputation. Big 10 is not one of the top conferences.

Utah: Get real. Be delighted you can even pretend to be upset. Get in a real conference and hope you break even.

Oklahoma: Never mind. No complaints. Great system. Worked just like it was supposed to.

Arkansas: You were only six or seven wins away from having a real shot. Sorry, it's just that I am a Razorback fan. Wait till next year. Or '10. Or '11. But one day soon.

By the way, I think Florida and Texas are the best two teams in the country and should play for the Championship. USC ,OK, and Alabama are right behind those two.

SEC is the best conference in the country year in and year out. This year Big 12 is really close and no other conference is close to those two.
