Friday, February 20th, 2009

10. Instead of handing your wife the baby, you hike it to her.

9. Meticulously measuring everything in the front lawn with 10-yard chains.

8. When your kids argue about who broke the lamp – you go to the replay booth.

7. Due to a naming rights sponsorship deal, your children now sleep in the KFC Bedroom.

6. All family chores are determined by coin toss.

5. Other people’s kids are ‘cute’ and ‘adorable’; yours have ‘intangibles’ and ‘bring a lot to the table’.

4. You wake your wife by yelling “Blue 52, Blue 52!  Robber Cross Tango Fire!”

3. The police issue you a citation for tailgaiting excessively – at the Macy’s President’s Day Linens Sale.

2. You sell season tickets to the bleachers you recently installed – in your bedroom.

1. You’re only human.

BCS voting

I don’t have a problem with people saying Florida is #1.  They beat everyone they were supposed to, from a tough conference, only lost one game on a failed PAT and beat high-powered OU with defense in the title game.

I don’t have a problem with people saying USC is #1.  They lost one game in a weaker conference, but gave up virtually no points the entire second half of the season and controlled Penn State throughly in the Rose Bowl.

I don’t have a problem with people saying Utah is #1.  They went unbeated, they beat multiple bowl teams and won the Sugar Bowl in what is basically a home game for Bama even after the Tide was the AP#1 for almost every week of the season.

The problem : would a playoff really fix this? We’d end up with 7 games to resolve 8 teams and I’m not positve the best team would win out over that.
