It's the latest in a litany of useless and meaningless ESPN Sports Nation polls, but for some reason this one struck a chord. It was just mentioned on the Houston-Marshall game and it's on the College Football page at ESPN.com.Here's the poll:
If Texas, Alabama and Penn State go undefeated, which matchup would you rather see in the BCS Title Game?
Texas vs. Alabama
Texas vs. Penn State
The results are obvious with 62 percent of all voters taking Texas vs. Alabama. So does this poll really accomplish anything? To make it more interesting add the third option of Alabama vs. Penn State.
Who's to say they aren't the best two teams? Last year everybody thought LSU and Ohio State should be in the championship (OK, maybe not everyone). But when the game was over everyone kept talking about how Georgia and USC were playing better than anyone in the nation.
If all three go undefeated, it would be a huge shock if Penn State wasn't the odd team out. It wouldn't be fair, but it's the system. If the Nittany Lions want someone to blame, don't look at the voters or the BCS system.
The blame falls to Ohio State.
