Who Didn’t Belong?

When the BCS computers decided that Florida should play Ohio State for the national college football championship, I was chagrined.

No way, I thought, along with a lot of other people, did Florida deserve to play the mighty Buckeyes. It should have been Michigan, who came very close to beating State a few weeks previously.

Well, I guess computers can now outthink people.

But not dogs.

Buddy was for Florida from the get-go! He couldn't take his eyes off the blue uniforms that matched his sweater.

Last night’s Fiesta Bowl title game not only showed that the Gators deserved to be there, but also that it was maybe Ohio State who didn’t belong there. Florida proved they deserve our respect.

Not to raise more controversial questions about the BCS (however, maybe I am), what does this outcome say about the exclusion of Boise State from the whole BCS process?

Maybe quite a bit.

O yea, one last question, this one from my wife: Does Urban Meyer have a brother named Rural?
