First, while I agree that LSU could seriously be considered 1A in the rankings, I think that Boise State didn't get enough credit. Could they beat either Florida or LSU? probably not. But they did go undefeated and won a BCS game. A game that just may go down as the greatest bowl game ever played.
The next thing was the mention of Florida's speed. I think that is what beat Ohio State and would beat them everytime. The big ten teams simply don't play the type of game that can keep up with the speed teams like in the SEC or PAC 10.
I don't think there will ever be a playoff nor do I think it's necessary in order to pick the #1 team. This is really the first year since the BCS came about that there was even an argument after the conference champions were decided as to who should be playing. After all the games this year, if there was going to be an add one game, who would it be? I think the only two teams that could make an argument are Florida and Boise State. Don't get me wrong, I love LSU, but they don't deserve it.
Once again congrats to the Gator! Cajun that is  |
A playoff is necessary. If UCLA does not upset SCal (probably a 1 in 10 shot), Florida gets no shot this year. In 2004, Auburn went 13-0 (damn tough to do in the SEC as everyone should realize by now) and never had a chance to play for number 1, and that was a team with 5 first round draft picks to the NFL. Same applied to Utah that year if I recall correctly. There are probably legitimate beefs more years than not.
