Quick Note


Quick college football note: 

If (the semi-professional athletes representing the state university in) Alabama defeat(s) (the semi-professional athletes representing the state university of) LSU in a close championship game, the two teams would have split a pair, one at Alabama's home and one on a semi-neutral field. LSU would have played a tougher schedule, won one more game, and won more convincingly overall.

Wouldn't that make LSU the best team? Shouldn't they then be crowed the champion? Might not the AP, which is not obliged to accept the BCS verdict, select LSU as national champs?

The potential for a muddled decision  and endless argument is why most people hate the BCS. And why I love it.
