blissfully stupid
don't for a second take the picking of scum and lsu as espin simply being homers. this was a cool and calculated decision. and rather intelligent to be honest. we can sit here and claim espin is a den of ingnorance all we want. but, this one was pretty impressive when you sit down and look at it objectively. lets take a peek shall we?
tOSU- BORING! #1 since day 1. this is so obvious a pick its not funny. well, no it isn't actually. tOSU is actually playing a legit contender in their bowl game and there is a good chance they may not win. fl is for real. loads of talent and potential there. odds go to the bucks, but clearly there is room for error here. more importantly, what channels will the nc NOT be aired on? hmmmm... *ponders*
fl- see above. not #1 since day 1, but until scum lost to tOSU by 3 how many people said the looser of "the game" had NO right playing in the nc? oh yeah... everyone! from day 1 everyone was all over florida with many claiming an undefeated florida should be an absolute lock at #1, period. some even stated that a 1 loss florida should go over other major undefeated teams. factor in that they are playing a legit team in their bowl and have a shot at loosing... this is an unwise and rather boring choice.
scum - this is about as thick and juicy a choice as you can get. pick ANY cooper year and this is a nc champion team, period. their only loss to #1 tOSU, they finished their year #2 but droped not once but TWICE after other teams won. this screams controversy and gives the ap yet another chance at delivering another sucker punch to the bcs and the coaches. as if that weren't enough, they play a usc team that just might be the weakest that school has ever sent to the rosebowl. unless they get a serious case of Voyd-itis, scum should walk all over usc. any time you have a team with the name value as scum playing a team with the name value of usc and is all but a lock at winning... how on earth could you go wrong calling them the team that should have played in the nc? this one is so beyond easy it isn't funny. oh yeah... what network is airing the scum vs. usc game again? *ponders*
lsu - "insert 2 loss team that would give any team in the nation a run for their money and is all but guaranteed a victory in their bowl game here". they don't bring the "we should be playing for the nc" crap to the table that scum does. but they finished the season strong and are going to take anal molestation to new and disturbing places against nd. same as with scum, this is a game featuring two teams with significant name power playing in a game that should be largely one sided. this is as simple and straight forward a decision as it gets.
which brings us right back to the whole purpose of this little fantasy to begin with:
oh and no, this wasn't an anti tOSU or anti fl thing on the part of espin. this is all about $. further weakening the bcs makes for good news. creating fantasy split nc's makes for damn good news. sewing seeds such as this creates potential storys for atleast a couple years. expecially when scum is 8-0 next season going for "back to back" nc's! dynasty baby!!! gotta love the media.

If you think this kind of math doesn't drive the media to say things like, "LSU is the hot team and they take down the Buckeyes," you need to take freshman math again. Of course when you give Lou Holtz, Les Myles and Charlie Weiss a month to get ready for Ohio State...
