The nut of it is that the Arizona Cardinals are the ultimate
example of why the BCS system works and the NFL playoffs don’t. We can
argue whether Florida or Texas or Utah should have been in the game,
but at least we don’t have to deal with a championship final between,

My cell has been ringing all day, my “Champagne High” ring tone started to be irritating.
Everyone wants to talk about the same thing and it’s not the first day of bowl week for the Gators and Sooners.
They want to know about Steve Spurrier.
