Weekly Update

Weekly News: Well, it’s over. The season that saw a Football Championship Division team beat the University of Michigan; that saw eleven top five teams lose to unranked opponents, and in the end, a season that saw the first ever two-loss national champion is finally at an end.

After eighteen days of college football, with 32 bowl games and coaching changes galore, the season comes to an end with the completion of the BCS National Title Game that was held in New Orleans this year. Ohio State fell to the twice defeated LSU Tigers 38-24 and for the second straight year allowed an SEC foe to capture the national title. You can read all about the game at the game recaps on the BCS Bowls page.

The 32 bowls saw historic blowouts, overtime thrillers and field goals deciding a surprising number of match ups. The slate even saw the underdog come through in the clutch quite often, including the surprising upset of Boise State, last year’s media and BCS darlings, to East Carolina, somewhat fitting for the post season to reflect the craziness of the regular season.

In the end, an only slightly disputed national champion was crowned, as the AP voters, not affiliated with the BCS in any way, voted 60 out of 65 first place votes to LSU. In the season that most likely will cause major changes to the BCS, it once again succeeded in delivering a convincing national champion, some fodder for the few BCS supporters that still exist. Georgia and USC, winners of two of the other BCS Bowls, have much to gripe about, but both teams had their issues during the season, which didn’t allow them to make it to New Orleans this year.

Both USC and Georgia will be favored heavily to make it to the National Title game next year, which will be held in Miami, Florida.

Until the beginning of next season, here’s what you can expect from BCS Know How. The final newsletter will be released on Wednesday, if you would like to receiver the BCS Know How Newsletter, click on either one of the links on the page, directly below this article, or on the upper right hand corner of the page. Also remember to take newsletter@bcsknowhow.com off of your spam blockers

The BCS standings will soon be updated to reflect what they would look like if the BCS published another set of standings after the end of the season, using the AP Poll and the Coaches Poll along with any computer who ranks after the end.

Expect the updates for the 2008-09 season to roll out around July of this year, and from then, BCS Know How will again be your source for all the college football news, poll updates, scores and recaps you will ever need. Have a good off-season!
