i have been participating in what is essentially an online opinion poll on si.com. it's interesting to watch, and even if it is essentially meaningless, i'm still happy to see OU in the final four. according to the poll, we beat boston college in the first round with 83% of the vote and were victorious again in the second round, over georgia with 53% of the vote. you can click here to vote in the "final four" round yourself, Oklahoma vs Ohio State and Florida vs USC. i don't know how i feel about the prospect of the bcs vs. a playoff, because i can definitely see there are advantages to both (as well as disadvantages, especially in regard to losing the bcs as it relates to some of the "powerhouse" programs).
on our trip to vegas i read stewart mandel's book, bowls, polls and tattered souls. it is an interesting read for the college football fan. he provides some good insight into both possibilities, the playoff and the bcs. as much as i know that the bcs probably favors a school like oklahoma, a playoff system would be a blast to watch. i still haven't made my mind up on this whole thing yet, but i guess that doesn't really matter, as it's not my decision to make in the first place.
oh well. i'll just keep voting in my little fake online poll and wait for our bowl game in january.
