bob,

no, i am not saying it is a worthless season in terms of taking positives out of winning a BCS bowl. a lot of teams could only be so fortunate.

i was assuming that anything less than a national championship, to a storied program like MU, is almost failure...like the NYYankess.

mcat,

i totally agree with polls being "performance based," but they arent. they get there in the end...sort of, but there are still biases.

but, it also is VERY difficult to determine team by team when very few of these teams play the same opponents.

that is why i think we all agree on a playoff system of some kind.
