No other rivalry in the country has decided the conference championship quite like this one. |

Why ESPN Hates the BCS I have two problems with the way college football is covered by national media types. First of all, most of them, e.g., ESPN, have a pro-playoff agenda. The second problem is that once they see a team they love, like the Oklahoma Sooners, they declare the de facto title winner. |

In Defense of the BCS Inevitable discussion over the last two days has centered on just who is the better team, USC or LSU, and why the BCS failed to supply the answer. The outrage, begun well before this year, would even lead one to believe that having co-champions is unheard of, even perverse. Not so. |
