Open Question: Why won't Notre Dame join the Big 10 and force the conference to play a conference championship game?

4 October 2008, 7:47 am

It's not fair that the other conferences like the SEC, Big 12, ACC, and even Conference USA and the Mid American play conference championship games while the Big 10 and Pac 10 sit back and watch after playing sub par schedules. The BCS should only allow conference teams to participate in the BCS games forcing Notre Dame to finally join the Big 10. Their NBC contract excuse is selfish and is hurting college football. First off The Big 10 does not play the entire conference, the main conference I was speaking of. As for the latest generation comment, I'm sure your one of those sucking on your thumb babies who were so thrilled that Ohio State last year lost to Illinois and was finished early in November while real conferences were still playing Real games. As for David E. He doesn't read well. I never said the Conference USA or Mid American were better than the Big 10 or Pac 10. I expected whining from those fans because they cling to their 20th century Rose Bowl instead of stepping up to the 21st Century. The SEC and Big 12 own college football right now. My comments were commending the ACC and the others for playing a championship game which Ohio State can't afford to play because of results like what happened in the last 2 boring BCS games. David E, me grow up? LOL. I won't even go there. I just want to mention to David E. that back in I believe the 95 season FSU upset Florida in the last regular season game. FSU back then in the ACC did not have a championship game to worry about. Lucky them right? But Florida DID have a championship game where they beat Arkansas. Nebraska who also had a championship game lost thus giving FSU a rematch with UF, a game FSU really didn't want to play again. Note that Arizona State was #2 but the Rose Bowl interfered with the #1 vs. #2 match. If there was no championship game then FSU would have played Nebraska for the title thus possibly giving them another title. So is the championship game noble? If it weren't for that game UF would not have won their first National Championship game. I know OSU fans and they even say they know it's a plus not having to play a championship game to risk loosing a chance to play for the National title. It helps ween out the 1 loss teams giving the nation a better look at who are the better teams.... read more
