I disagree with your assertion that Notre Dame was better than Michigan. Robinson is the best player in college football and different than the typical spread/Wildcat QB Rich Rodriguez has used in the past as he has a fairly strong arm and pretty accurate, not to mention blazing fast.

SEC champ versus Big 12 or Big Ten? Why don't we just have the SEC champ versus the SEC runner-up in a re-match for the title? I mean, the SEC is going to win the title either way, right?

Mr. Picker, you and your fans are back to complaining about the BCS and its selection process. Why not do everyone a big favor and tell us what system you would devise to assure that only the most deserving teams reach the National Championship.

Here's a question.

Obviously, some NFL rules make no sense.

Here's another one. Why should an offensive penalty that is accepted end the game?

If a team accepts the penalty, as Wash did versus Dallas, why shouldn't Dallas get another play?

Refuse the penalty, game over.

Accept the penalty, the play is rerun.

Fair is fair.

But it can be argued: What does a fair rule have to do with the NFL?

Gene-o, whew, I keep expecting you to try to sneak out of that Ryder Cup wager.

Four teams. Two major bowls.

Four is 100 percent better than two, correct?

Go by the polls, same system as now, maybe. It's not the selection system, it's the number of teams playing.....two is absurd. Somebody is going to always be left out, better #5 than #3.

I am flailing and thrashing in the Slough of Despond: Picker here is more right than wrong.
Somebody throw me a cinder block.

Parting company in the continued genuflection towards the southeast.

The smurfs are dead, the smurfs are dead. Long live the frogs? They could be the next torpedo aimed at the good ship BCS (It can't go Titanic quickly enough).

So glad you pointed out one of the bums..and it was Drew Brees. My thoughts of him just dropped a few hundred notches. One commonality about most of the meatheads in the NFL is no perspective about any real issues...'Some guys are expecting babies and worried about health care coverage'... even pure yankee jock sniffer Mike from Mike and Mike on ESPN had a good laugh at that one...

Mr. Picker, excellent point on Denard Robinson. He is a very good runner, but an inconsistent passer. Let's note that he played Notre Dame, which has one of the worst defenses in the country. Let's wait until he plays Wisconsin, Iowa, at Ohio State, and at Penn State to see how good he really is. I see Michigan going 8-4 this season, with a 4-4 record in the Big Ten. Denard has potential; however, he needs to prove that he can play well against quality opponents, and ND isn't a quality opponent.

Sam Bradford had a good performance considering the Rams have no O-Line and the WRs have grease on their hands. If the Rams D-Lineman holds onto the football at the 5 yard line instead of pulling a Leon Lett, the Rams beat the Cards.

OK Picker, you've done a fair job till now. Waykno is now on the scene--have a seat! I like your sense of humor and you'll need it after I finish with you when the scores are posted.

Here is a quick test for you: regarding intentional grounding--why isn't it intentional grounding when QB's quickly spike the ball to stop the clock? There is no obvious receiver and he's between the tackles.
