BCS National Championship open thread: Who are you rooting for?

The BCS National Championship game is tonight (6:30 p.m. MT, ESPN), and you'd be excused if you weren't a little misty-eyed thinking of the very near reality of Boise State playing in this game for all the mythical marbles. But life and field goals intervened, and we are left with a rematch of one of the most lauded 9-6 games in football history. The Game of the Century is back, and pretty much the exact same as it was before.

Still, it's college football, and we Bronco fans do love our college football. If you're watching the game tonight, feel free to share your thoughts here in the comments. And if you're still trying to decide who to root for, hit the jump to see some reasons why you might choose the Tide or the Tigers (or none of the above). It's the last college football until August. Enjoy.

Star-divide

Reasons you might cheer for Alabama

  • You love the idea of revenge
  • You root for chaos in the BCS, and nothing says chaos quite like a consensus national champion losing to a team it has already beat and not getting the national championship
  • You really enjoyed Nick Saban's acting in Blindside and thought he deserved more recognition
  • You are a Trent Richardson fan / Trent Richardson family
  • You think the state of Louisiana has too much going for it what with the New Orleans Saints and all

Reasons you might cheer for LSU

  • You feel like the Tigers are the best team in college football and deserve to be rewarded with the BCS National Championship
  • You thought LSU already beat Alabama once and are kind of confused at this point as to why they're playing again
  • You like honey badgers / are a honey badger
  • Nick Saban gives you the creeps
  • You like the underdog (seriously, LSU is an underdog?!)

Reasons you might skip the game and watch How I Met Your Mother

  • You don't have cable
  • You already saw this game two months ago
  • Boise State isn't playing

I think you have way too much faith in righteousness and common-sense...

Any changes they make will come with a huge caveat that makes it harder for BSU to compete for a championship….like okay 4 team playoff but no AQ and the SEC and B1G can get three teams apiece in….

The Bulldogs had no answers, so they called timeout. And at that moment, every single person in the stadium knew that Georgia was in over its head. It was instant singularity of Boise State's greatness.

Wouldn’t watch it if they paid me to. Unless they paid me in bronco gear…I’m with Dothework; I want a big fat 0-0 at the end of regulation. However, I will also be satisfied with LSU shutting out bama (how hard could that be?) proving that every game SHOULD count. Such an unnecessary matchup.

Who cares

It’s a rematch, and if Bama wins it’s 1-1, if LSU wins it’s a wasted game anyways. Really, how many times do you have to beat the same team to be considered a better team and what does a 1-1 series record (for the year) prove? Ugh. This is just lame (regardless of them being 1 and 2).

They would have to play one more time at LSU to make it best out of three. The game doesn’t prove anything..

Then it goes into four OTs

with Bama winning on a safety.

LSU is the National Champ

LSU’s SOS is so ridiculously impressive they should just hand the Tigers the trophy before the game. If we have to suffer through 56 bowl games without a playoff system, who gives a rip about a popularity contest championship? LSU proved they are the best team in a flawed system without playoffs……why pretend this game means anything?

Top 8 teams in a playoff. #1 gets to choose opponent from 5,6,7, or 8. #2 gets to choose from remaining bottom half teams……and so on. Creates excitement and causes second guessing if a team chooses a team and gets beat! Top 4 teams get home field advantage. Once down to 4 teams you have two huge semi-final bowls. Then the Big Kahuna Bowl with the remaining two teams. You may have trim the regular season by one game and maybe the conference championship games so players don’t get too beat up if they are in the top eight……..small price to pay for a playoff system. This system also gives the smalls like Boise a chance to play for all the marbles cuz one small conference team usually makes the top 8 on a semi-regular basis. Go Broncos!

The current system is rough

but lends far more access than anything in the past. We are dangerously close to bowls aligning themselves with conferences again, and not needing to hear any “monopoly” talk from smaller schools and programs outside the accepted old money.

If the NCAA doesn’t get involved, then the BCS breaks up to avoid lawsuits and BSU is out in the cold again…have you seen the Big East bowl tie-ins outside of the “AQ” status everyone is about to lose? Not pretty.

The system has fed us. The system needs tweaks, not to be entirely razed. One can support the system and support an evolution of that system. Transparency.

If they take their ball and go home…all access is gone.

by pourfavor on Jan 9, 2012 9:10 PM PST up reply actions  

Well put, I must agree with that. We have had far more access then before. It needs some tweaks (elimination of aq and Boise would probably be in BCS). But overall it’s been ok to us. Then again if we make two field goals were in last years rose and this years champ game. If that would be the case the system would have worked for us.

by AAFORS on Jan 9, 2012 9:14 PM PST up reply actions  

I disagree...

I really believe that this next meeting is going to be a positive. I may be wrong. But BSU getting left out this year, really was a negative for the BCS. Did you read the part where they’ll be discussing about all bowls, outside the BCS being available to teams like BSU. And they get an automatic bit if they win the BIG EAST. BSU is bigger then you think. They would have gone to the Title game if they would have won out. Think about that. If Houston would of won out, not even close.

How do you think Boise would have matched up with either team? LSU has crazy speed and Alabama’s defense is brutal. Just wondering how other Bronco fans feel Kellen and the boys would have stacked up against these SEC top dogs?

To itistime: You have to reward the top ranked teams for their wins and strength of schedule. Why not give them home field advantage AND their choice of opponent from the bottom half of the top 8 teams. You know as well as I do that the 7th or 8th ranked teams might be much better than the 5th or 6th ranked teams. Give the teams that earned a topranking some recognition and a well deserved reward!!

LSU is one of the highest scoring teams in the BCS they have 0 going into the fourth quarter.

Alabama 15 BCS 0. Could they make a game video like they did for Boise-Oklahoma Fiesta Bowl. I would really like to watch 5 straight field goals and call them trick plays.

A sack A sack now we have a game

Quarterback could not read the blitz and he took it in the gut. Kellen would have burned them on the corner.

Really...

Did you not watch the first game? Alabama lost that game, LSU didnt win it. The only surprise is the LSU didn’t score. I thought they would at least kick a couple of field goals. I’m not surprised at all, serious.

And this is a perfect example why we need a playoff. All teams deserve a second chance. Especially those with last second field goal losses.

Dear Les Miles,

“Big Boy Football” requires execution on offense…at any level. You are 6:00 away from finishing with half of Michigan’s total yards. 184.

BCS is scared of BSU. This is painful.

Alabama

Sure looked like the best team in the country tonight. The way those guys played on defense was crazy. Granted Lsu is no offensive machine, but bama shut them down. Lsu should have been number 1 and bama should have been #2. But bama looked like #1 tonight.

No sorries neccessary, read some of my post way up, their actually true.

I did take my dog for a walk, take the garbage out, ect…Had the sound off most of the game. This game proves absolutely nothing to me. Its like watching Jersey Shore to me, “nothing” I do think the meatballs are funny.

I think

The best two teams from the regular season were on the field tonight. #1 and #2 defenses. I don’t like the system but I think it put the two best teams from the regular season on the field.

I really...

believe BSU would have beat them both. No Joke. Kellen would have make Alabama’s D look average. I really believe that.

by ItIsTime on Jan 9, 2012 9:13 PM PST reply actions  

I agree

That having kellen on the field would have been a great game. Lsu didn’t have a qb that could do anything that made bama work hard for it. But that defense despite that was phenomenal. It would have been fun to see but we were the best team in the country. Lsu was. We take care of business and we could have been there.

8 team playoff

All games at higher seed home field. Final goes to the championship game in sugar, rose, fiesta or orange. 4 losers of 1st round play each other in 2 big bowls. Losers of semis play in the bcs bowl that isn’t hosting the championship.

Make something like this happen!

Was rooting for Bama and so happy they rolled right over LSU!! LSU didnt even show up for the game…it was unreal!! omg. BSU would have crushed LSU the way they played…and I could imagine what an awesome NCG BSU could’ve had against Bama!!
