Gridiron Belles

Of course every game played before yesterday was an important game.  But now, with the first week of the BCS rankings disclosed, it all finally means something.

 

In case you missed the breaking BCS poll news last night, LSU, #1 team in the country. Alabama is #.2

Christmas is coming early, Belles!  LSU and Alabama match up on November 5^th in Tuscaloosa. Enter where I start praying to the football gods that somehow both teams could play for the real National Championship on January 9.

There is an entire chapter in my book dedicated to explaining the BCS.  If you still aren’t sure what the BCS means or the implications it has on your season, go ahead and pick up a copy of Gridiron Belles.  Or, just send me your questions and I’ll make sure you understand faster than Jeff Demps.

Tidbits for BCS conversation:

-BCS= Bowl Championship Series.  Basically, there are a handful of post season games that are considered BCS bowl games.  The aforementioned rankings (among other things) determine which team will play in which bowl.

-  The National Championship this year (Sugar Bowl) is in New Orleans.  The last two times the National Championship has been the Sugar Bowl, LSU has not only been a competitor in the game, but has been crowned the victor of said game.  (2003, 2007)

-  LSU and Alabama play each other on November 5^th in Tuscaloosa.  Since the #1 and #2 ranked teams in the BCS are who play in the BCS National Championship, it seems that the title game is going to be played about two months early.  ( Go ahead and cancel all plans you may have on that day.)

Love it or hate it, it’s time to understand the BCS, where your team stands this season and why moving forward, BCS rankings are the only ones you need to worry about!  I promise you, this ranking means something.
