What's the point?

The BCS system claims "Every Game Counts."

Umm... No.

The National Championship should be about a body of work, which means THE ENTIRE season instead of the timeliness of a loss.

Let's face it, it's harder than every to go undefeated in the NCAA, and will only get tougher. Strength and conditioning is becoming an exact, calculated science that is turning two and three-star recruits into superstars. Just look at Justin Blackmon, he was ranked a three-star prospect out of five total stars coming out of high school.

Not to mention, that strength and conditioning is spilling over into high schools. What does that mean? Better development of talent, and more players to choose from.

Which also means teams are better, faster, stronger and overall just more talented, and the overall landscape of college football is evening out. Nowadays, a Herschel Walker can hardly come in and dominate the field because he'd have a backup that is more of a speedster.

All in all, the fact that college football is evening out means that the BCS is showing more and more flaws.

Especially this year. What's the point of a rematch? What do we gain out of it?

If Alabama wins, LSU can easily say "We had to play one more game then you, PLUS we beat you on your field already. The series is tied 1-1."

If LSU wins, we are reminded that they're the best team in the nation because we've known it for a few weeks now. What's the point of that?

I'm not saying that LSU and Alabama aren't the two best teams, and I'm not saying they are. All I'm saying is what is the point in seeing the same two teams rematch again? LSU already won outright and Alabama won't be their conference's champion... Then again, LSU may not be either.

And Alabama's head coach, Nick Saban, thinks that as well. He said it in 2003 while coaching the Tigers of Baton Rouge.

He said:

"Anyone who doesn't win their conference has no business playing in the national championship game."

Thanks for saying it for me, Coach.

Better question: If LSU loses, how do you justify having a National Championship game played between two teams who weren't their conference's champion?

I give up. See you in the Fiesta Bowl against an overrated Stanford team and a sleeper of a BCS bowl that Oklahoma State will win 70-10.
