Alabama wins 21-0...yawn!

And it was never really that interesting...or close.

Living up to none of its hype, the BCS Championship game was a snoozefest last night...unless you were an Alabama fan or work for ESPN.

The Crimson Tide did just enough on offense scoring on a Trent Richardson 34-yard run late to complement 5 Jeremy Shelley field goals.

But the story was either the dominance of Alabama's defense or the ineptitude of LSU's offense. We don't necessarily think it was more one or the other, rather it was a combination of the two. The Tide's defense is pretty darn good. Big and fast too.

However, the LSU play-calling and execution on offense could only be called "pitiful". They continually tried to run wide, option-like plays that were poorly executed. Quarterback Jordan Jefferson, when he wasn't bobbling snaps, made bad reads, poor throws and mystifying decisions.

And yet he never got benched.

In the meantime, 'Bama QB A.J McCarron had a solid game, made good decisions and threw the ball very effectively against the vaunted Tigers defense. In fact, they worked over the "Honey Badger" Tyrann Mathieu, throwing at him frequently and connecting with the wide receivers.

In the end, the game couldn't possibly live up to the hype...and it didn't. It did reinforce what we, and many others believe, the B.C.S should be a playoff--at least a plus-one type, in order to get the best teams and best game. Alabama hadn't played in 44-days, LSU-35, and it showed.

((**Note**--We refuse to call this the "National Championship" game because the B.C.S does not recognize all teams, only the ones that can make them the most money))

Sparing you the lecture, we'll just add that we don't think the system is going to change. Because the B.C.S is totally corrupt. It's built to make money for the nebulous group that runs it and the Bowl Directors who profit from it. If you ask the players, they'd rather settle it on the field. But just ask Oklahoma State how happy they are about that.

Oh, by the way, to spare anyone the embarrassment, Alabama was voted a Unanimous #1 after the game, LSU, they have to settle for #2.

Here are the only highlights we could find, a webcast from Alabama's 13 News in Birmingham with the honors, though you'll have to wait 2:30 into the webcast to see them.
