We are where we want to be. This whole BcS national championship business is a silly, pseudo-scientific attempt to produce a consensus national champion. It occupies minds like Plaschke's. Who cares about that? It's a lot more fun to argue about who is number one. Without a good national championship controversy all we're left with is fiscal cliff, David Petraeus and (shudder) pro basketball.Â
What counts is we can go to the Rose Bowl. We don't need to care what the Lee Corso world thinks. To hell with them. I don't like Lee Corso anyway. He's an a-hole of the first order.
Let's just beat UCLA twice -- which will be tough but look at how we played Saturday -- and take the real prize, which is being the Pac-8* team in the Rose Bowl. Of course I'd like to see us in the Rose Bowl AND national champions, but the Rose Bowl is a much bigger deal.
* This is an unreconstructed view of what our conference should be, not the whored-out-for-the-last-dollar monster it has become.
