If your view amounts to the winner of this game is "infallibly" and/or "certainly" the best, find another Pope to follow, I can't be your shepherd.

They do pay guys millions of dollars to comment on college football, and many of them (including those East-Coast biased ESPN bastards) lament the fact that USC didn't get a title shot, WVA had a good claim, Georgia got dissed, VaTech and Missou got owned, and the LSU-OSU "contest" will not, in any possible outcome, establish the "best" by any other than a flawed synthetic benchmark.

I like LSU and dislike OSU, but I probably still won't watch most of the game, because the outcome is meaningless to me. MAO: The winner of this game will have a legitimate claim as one of the top 5 teams in the country; no more.

Just a few years ago an UNDEFEATED Auburn team couldn't get a shot at the title. If you're looking for a BCS supporter, you wont find one here. I've been in favor of a playoff. In the mean time, the Nat Champ is determined by the BCS. The winner of Monday night's game IS the Nat Champ. Period. So do you think Herbstreit, Corso & Fowler are not swinging on Pete Carrol's *****? If so, that's priceless.
