JimH,
When a game is obviously decided by bad officiating, it is not whining to
complain about it. I personally could care less.


You make an assumption of bad officiating. If so, then you are in the
whiners camp. ;-)



Arguing about who is the National Champs is an annual ritual for anyone
who likes college football. ; )


I could care less. I thought both were great games though.

Ohio State had some bad calls against them in their game against
Texas.......................just kidding. But I think you get my point.
;-)

Life goes on and life is good.

I love college football (and all college sports except for hockey) more
than the pros because they are unpredictable.......missed field goals,
stupid lateral attempts etc.

Unfortunately my alma mater ( a ranked team at the time) got their ass
handed to them a few days earlier . ;-(

JimH,
I didn't watch the game, but the video reviews do show some very blatant bad
calls.
One where Texas obviously step out of bounds before completing a touchdown,
and another where the quarterback's knee touched the ground before he
passed.

Bad Calls happen in every game, but this seemed worse than normal.

Now if I was a USC fan I would feel it was my God Given Right to complain.
; )

I think that you are all missing the point. This game was doomed from the
outset when they decided the Rose Bowl would be on Wednesday instead of on
New Year's Day! It's just plain wrong. I had my dips and chips and sodas
all set, my remote was at hand, then lo and behold, some stupid rule about
never on sunday and it's a championship game. I'll never watch a rose bowl
again that isn't on New Year's Day.
