[NU Sports] Heck of a finish in Happy Valley ...

[michael.vance at att.net]

One point that may seem like nit-picking, but is worth emphasizing: The Big Ten title is *not* determined by the BCS computers.  MSU, dOSU, and (possibly) Wisconsin will all be recognized as Big Ten (Co-)Champs.  The rankings determine who will be our BCS Bowl representative.  As much as you may hate the BCS, it makes sense to use their rankings to determine who the conference sends to their bowl.  And it's a heckuva lot less confusing than the old three-way tiebreaker.

PSU's Moye is gonna be a Heisman frontrunner next year if he plays every game like he did the final five minutes vs. MSU. Great comeback, but just short -- and another example of why you GO DOWN once you get the interception, as NU did earlier this year! :)

Having the Big Ten title come down to the B(C)S computers sucks.

As for RichRod, I agree that Michigan has fallen far and has brought Big Least football (i.e. no defense) into a school that once had a proud defensive tradition ... but they may be saved by a big bowl game - either in Jacksonville on January 1 or in Phoenix against a big name from the Big XII (Oklahoma or ATM?). Robinson gets RichRod one more year.

Did I mention that the B(C)S tiebreak for the Big Ten sucks? SUUUUUUUCKS! Sucks when it ruined the Big XII three-way a couple years back, sucks even more now that it will decide the Big Ten. SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS!!!

So now with Sparty winning at least a share of the Big Ten title, that means that every Big Ten school has at least shared a Big Ten title since 2000 except for Minnesota and Indiana. That, my friends, is depth you won't find in the SEC or Big XII.

And one more thing ... the Horned Frogs in Pasadena because of another stupid B(C)S rule? SUUUUUUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS! 

DEATH TO THE B(C)S!!!

GO CATS!!! BEAT BUCKY!!!
