Two thoughts. One, Tony is a Georgia homer and is in bed with Richt. Richt will need all the help he can get after the upcoming season, Tony Blowhard notwithstanding. And I am a Georgia fan and have been all my life and will be after my life. Richt is a middle tier coach and can’t compete with Miles, Saban an especially Meyer, all of whom have one a National Championship in half the time that Richt has been at Georgia. And we ain’t gotta shot at it again this year either. Thus the explanation that you can be a great coach and not win a NC. Absurd.

Would Bear Bryant be such a heralded coach had he not won six national championships? Come on now.

Second, I find the sobriquet “Mr. College Football” to be grossly inaccurate. What are his credentials for such? None except blogs in the AJC many of which are off the mark such as this one.

One day the AJC should require Tony to respond to the comments on this page.

Enough is enough! The coalition conferences do not deserve to get the BCS bowls. Put any of the SEC’s second or third-place teams in those leagues and the SEC teams would go 12-0. Despite Bama’s meltdown, the record is clear– the coalition teams have no business playing with the big boys on New Year’s Day. The Conference USA camp in the Rose Bowl?

I can’t believe all you so called college football fans bringing up potential tv ratings as a reason a team should or should not make a BCS bowl. Lets not forget we are talking about tax payer funded institutions (except ND and few others) with non paid student athletes playing amateur football. Who gives a rip about advertising dollars? What happened to may the best man/team win, or in this case even get a chance to play? I for one don’t want to see the same teams playing in the same bowls regardless of record. Why are there bowls involved in the first place? Between college programs, the NCAA, and big TV money, we decided to add another middleman in form of bowls. These bowls take some of the financial pie and care about nothing but making money for themselves.
Playoffs for godsake. Conference champs get in automatically, at large bids chosen by sportswriters, first round played at home by the higher ranked team. Why is this so gosh darn complicated?

DaveR. So the BCS is acting out against the Rose Bowl, Pac 10, and Big 10 huh? I guess the tail should wag the dog then.

The Pac10, Big 10, and Rose Bowl have been the road blocks to a playoff system from the get go. It is those substandard conferences with big $ that think their teams should have equal access without having to play a conference championship game. That seems fair. These 2 bad conferences and the has been bowl game are holding up any progress college football could make. I can really see why you support them.

Here’s hoping we get a 1 loss USC and a terrible 1 loss Ohio State team in another boring BCS match up.

At least Fox doesn’t get the games any more…so there is something positve.

Go away Dave R.

Where do the delusional people who think that the MWC is anywhere near as good as the Big East come from? Do they just not know how bad the bottom half of the conference is? There are only three teams in the MWC last year that would have beat any Big East teams other than Louisville and my Orange more than one time in three on a neutral field. Only five would even manage two out of three against SU or Louisville (SDSU, Wyoming, UNLV, and New Mexico would not). And that was the best year for the MWC ever, and the worst year for the Big East since 2004.

The MWC is far and away the strongest non-BCS league. But better than the Big East? That’s nonsense.

[...] Tony Barnhart gives us a little more detailed look on why this came to pass. We don’t like this one bit, because it could potentially lock out a more deserving team. Scenario, USC is off to play in the BCSCG against a SEC school and Cal is 3 in the BCS standings and Utah is 4. Utah is heading to the Granddaddy. And speaking of Mr. College Football, he’ll be coming to televisions this fall on the CBS College Sports Network. [...]

At least they didn’t roll over like a scolded dog on their own field when they got punched in the mouth… Has that same Bama team that got spanked by a so-called fluke (Utah) stopped running up the score in Athens yet? I won’t bring up what those Gators keep doing to ya’! What’s that record over the last 20 years again?

By the way, So. Cal went home and away with Utah, home and away with the War Eagle, and UVA, OSU… And what is aggregrate point difference in their loses? 4 points!!! At least they lose on the field, and with the exception of the Stanford loss, they lost to teams that just played better…

Stop living through 17 to 21 year old boys for kicks…
