Tomorrow's matchup between #1 LSU and #14 Georgia should mean a lot, but because of the flaws of the BCS it has little weight whatsoever. The SEC is best college football conference by a long shot, so one would think its championship game would have a lot of significance. Georgia could win by forty points and LSU will still play in the national championship game. LSU would finish the regular season 12-1 with the advantage in a head-to-head tie breaker against #2 Alabama because of its win against the Crimson Tide earlier this season. The BCS should not rely so much on computers and numbers to decide the rankings. And for the Bulldogs, win or loss, they will play in Outback or Capital One Bowl game. The SEC championship game will have some significance because it decides the winner of the SEC (which honestly doesn't mean much) and if LSU's hopes for an undefeated season are still alive. The title game of the strongest conference in college football needs to have some significance. What if Georgia was the #2 team in the nation with one loss and they were to beat LSU in the SEC Championship. Would they just have a rematch for the national championship? I'm not sure what the changes should be, but it is evident that change is necessary for the BCS. I hope Georgia pounds LSU, so that on January 9th, college football fans can sit back and wonder how the two teams contending for a national championship were chosen.
