Yet, every year, we are subjected to a "championship" game featuring one of these third rate midwestern frauds.

Gary, we rarely agree. But, this time you are right on the money. The Pac 10, Big 10 (with 11 teams), get the benefit of no conference championship and the SEC and Big 12 teams get hurt by this. Mizzou just last year is a perfect example. We were the #1 team in the country (having beat a previously undefeated Kansas team the last week of the season) and were set for the BCS championship. BUT, the big 12 has a conference championship and Oklahoma beat us. If we were in the big ten we would have taken the weeks off and gone on to play in the national championship. I guess the flip side is that whoever wins the SEC/Big 12 Championship has the best chances to play in the National Championship and they don't go into it and lose like Ohio State does so frequently.
