    Now this is what I call a valid national championship. Did you notice that the trophy said "NCAA National Champions". It sounds a lot better than having an "ADT Trophy for the BCS Champions".

    When will the NCAA get the "b*lls" to do the right thing? A "mythical" National Championship nevers sits well with me. Its not something I can embrace with total satisfaction.

    Maybe not, but the Crystal Balls will do until an NCAA trophy comes along.

    And, for the record, that NCAA Baseball trophy wasn't all that impressive. I'll take it, of course, proudly - I guess I just expected something a little more....flashy.

    Maybe with one of those little-bitty batters up on top, ya know?

    Oh well - the accomplishment is MASSIVE even if the hardware isn't.

    Nah, they'll probably just attach the key to this one.

    I don't know. I've been pretty satisfied with our two football championships this decade. I'm looking forward to the next mythical NC, in fact!

    I guess the MNC is the best one can get now but it's a shame FB is the only major sport were the NC is not determined in a playoff. I hate the computer polls.

    I'll take the BCS MNC for how it is for now. What really has always bothered me is the name Bowl Championship Series, series implies a series of games leading up to a championship game. In other words the name implies a play off series.

    You would think the NCAA could come up with something more impressive. And not one of those silly, almost clicheish, trophies with the "little-bitty" batters on top. It should be something fairly impressive. The World Series trophy is one of the best I have seen.
