We just got spoiled by the greatest college championship game ever played, last year...
Miami vs. Ohio State.
The only thing I wish is that USC coulda played LSU. Anywhere.
See my formula above. It's not pure realignment, most of the conferences will be the same - it's that the cream puff ones will have some charge put into them so that they would have justification......
As Bob Stoops said, make it a rule at the beginning of the year and we will play by it.......
No disadvantage for Michigan to play USC in the Rose Bowl. Probably more Michigan fans there than USC fans, escaping the bad weather. By the way, the Rose Bowl is UCLA's home stadium.
I've been to three Rose Bowls that Michigan lost, and this loss was not unexpected. A lot of those kids are midwestern boys that have never been that far from home before. They get all star struck by the change of scenery, the people, the weather, the mountains, the beaches, the cars. And then they play lackluster football. Nothing new.
Wish there was a formula for "lackluster football"....
One thing for sure, it is wrong to have a game 4-6 weeks after the last game, that's another thing that needs to be cured

Still in CALIFORNIA though right? They are the University of Southern CALIFORNIA right? Quite an advantage for the team from CALIFORNIA.

It was a very VERY good National Title, but I wouldn't say the best. The best in my opinion was the 1982(I think) National Title with Nebraska playing Miami, and Nebraska goes for two at the end of the game to win! What balls Tom Osbourne showed on that night! Even though he didn't make it.
If USC had any home field advantage it was because of the presence of their full band. That fight song is enough to make any non-USC fan (and some of their own) nauseaus.
Couldn't agree more, cjhsa, re the USC fight song, or whatever that relentless riff is that they keep playing. Must be inspiring to be in that college band...

This is true of any major University's fight song, IMHO. They just drone on and on and on.......
BTW, the OU fight song words are tremendously nauseating to boot:
Quote:BOOMER SOONER!
(The University of Oklahoma Fight Song)
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, O K U
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, O K U
I'm a Sooner born
and a Sooner bred
and when I die
I'll be Sooner dead!
Rah, Oklahoma!
Rah, Oklahoma!
Rah, Oklahoma! O-K-U!
I love the Sooner fight song, Sooner dead indeed.
But, the 150th time in the last 20 minutes, yech!!!!!!
Michigan and Notre Dame have decent and original fight songs. USC's is the worst by far.
Im a Nebraska fan, and Im pretty satified with the selection. Big Bill isn't the greatest mind in football, but he can motivate a player to give it his all. I don't know how he will do in the recruiting process, but I'm sure he can bribe the recruit with Jerry Rice, Tim Brown, Rod and Charles Woodson autographs.
CotL, I have heard that one of Callahan's best talents from the past is recruiting - and to get people to Nebraska, you gotta be good
Prestige baby, it's all about Prestige!
Yep, Nebraska has it all!
Time will tell -
