LSU lost to Arkansas in “overtime” yesterday (scare quotes are because the college overtime system is bizarre), becoming the latest highly-ranked team to lose to an unranked opponent. This throws the BCS championship system into chaos for the Nth time this season– by the end of the weekend, at least three of the top ten teams will have lost, and there are only two undefeated teams left. There’s never been more confusion about who is the best team in college football.
Boy, if only there were some way to settle this. I mean, imagine if you could get, say, the top eight teams together somehow, and have them play each other, to determine which team was the best? Man, that would be cool.
But that’s just crazy talk…
