A playoff would be preferable, but it would probably have resulted in the same National Championship matchup.<br /> <br /> The rest of the college bowl series exists for the fans, but the National Championship game should be just that - #1 vs #2, regardless of whether the teams are from the same conference, or whether they are so well matched that they would dare have a less 'interesting' game.<br /> <br /> Creating a playoff is probably the best way to go, but it should never be created under the ruse that the National Championship game will all of a sudden become a high-scoring struggle between teams with inadequate defenses. The fight for the #1 spot in the country should never be impeded on by armchair quarterbacks who think they're entitled to whatever they think an interesting game is. May the best team win. This year, it was Alabama. Just ask the Tigers. <div> <br /> </div> <div>Ashley<br /> <div> <br /> </div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div> <br /> </div> <div>- Thanks for the comment, a playoff possibly could have matched the same two teams but I think that the interest level would have been substantially higher through a playoff format. &nbsp;Either way, Alabama beat the Tigers pretty soundly even if it was ugly. - John P.

First, the BCS Championship game needs to be completely boycotted. Anyone who cares about college football should refuse to watch it, period. That should include LSU and Alabama fans who will never know how good their teams really are. Second, the way you get something like this moving is to protest it in a way that brings media coverage (i.e. Occupy Wall Street). For me, one obvious place to do it is in New Orleans where they picked the most unfair BCS game known to mankind. Another location would be were BCS administrators are located. Thoughts... <br /><br />We seriously have to do something...Why not Occupy Bourbon Street in the days leading up to the game with some serious protests?
