Let's hope that everyone who was going to get a lot of money out of this year's college football programs has now cashed in. The bowl games are over and once again, the pundits and experts and critics were wrong. But they all got a lot of money, nevertheless.
Oh, I know, somewhere there are a couple of guys who picked the right winner. Given a choice of two, some people will stumble on the correct one. My guess is that most of the folks who guessed right were not the experts.
The coaches were paid millions, the broadcasters made billions, the sports commentators made hundreds of thousands, the advertisers sold their cars and their beers. A few atheletes now have their careers nailed down. Heisman Trophy voters once again look like fools and will soon receive their invitations to vote again next year.
Why, even Congress closed down to participate in this year's extravaganza.
Many with huge egos got to parade them on television, proving themselves to be tacticians of Napoleonic esteem. Gasbags with endless hours of bullshit to expend, expended it; now for a vacation on a beach somewhere.
Ohio State fans who were led to believe that Michigan was unfit to be in the national championship game, and who may have allowed themselves to guffaw scornfully over the mere idea, woke up this morning to realize that they didn't belong there either. In Idaho, where few people live, they are all feeling cheated.
Can we now say we've witnessed the final humiliation of big league college football? No, not a chance. There's still one more phase for us to pass through before we can say that college football is completely ruined: a playoff series.

And to think there were people who thought Michigan was slighted when Florida was moved ahead of Michigan in the final BCS poll.
No, Sparty, I don't think you understand. Everyone wanted the best two teams to go. Those teams are whatever the BCS people say they are, with their computers and mystical razzamatazz. We wanted Michigan to go, and then, if they beat Ohio, as it looks like they might have been able, then Michigan would be the best team in the US even though it isn't. Ohio was the Best tean, although wasn't. And Florida is the best team although it isn't if it's playing Oregon. We had a chance to be the best, but weren't because we didn't get to go to the Tostitos and play the team that wasn't the best. By playing two teams in a row which weren't the best, Florida became the best.
Even Michigan State could have become the best team by beating Ohio, but of course, that wasn't possible either.
I am a Western Michigan grad. We don't have these problems there!!
( but sometimes we wish we did )
Maybe Michigan would kick Florida's ass.
