Worst BCS National Championship Games
Posted on 12/13/13 at 12:27 pm
Posted on 12/13/13 at 12:27 pm
A) 2002 Rose Bowl - Miami 37 - Nebraska 14
B) 2005 Orange Bowl - USC 55 - Oklahoma 19
C) 2007 BCS National Championship Game - Florida 41 - Ohio State 14
D) 2012 BCS National Championship Game - Alabama 21 - LSU 0
E) 2013 BCS National Championship Game - Alabama 42 - Notre Dame - 14
Personally, I'm going with 2002 Rose Bowl. The game was over by halftime. And unlike 2004 Oklahoma or 2012 Notre Dame, Nebraska had no legitimate reason for being there.

2005
The 2011 game was still a 2 possession game until the last few minutes

You really going to ask this on an LSU based board?

YUP...LSU would have given Miami a way better game and may have surprised them.......

I would go with A since Nebraska shouldn't have been in the game.
The others at least had teams that should have been there.

I was at the 07 and 12 games, both were TERRIBLE games that were decided early on.

1/9/2012 had a team just fail to show up... LSU might not have scored if they played 3 times

2005. USC had 38 points at halftime. They could have easily scored 2,3, maybe 4 more touchdowns if they hadn't pulled back a bit.

For me, these are the games that were either really boring to watch or the quality of play was below par.
1999 Fiesta Bowl- Tennessee 23 Florida State 16
2001 Orange Bowl- Oklahoma 13 Florida State 2
2004 Sugar Bowl- LSU 21 Oklahoma 14
2008 BCS National Championship Game- LSU 38 Ohio State 24
2010 BCS National Championship Game- Alabama 37 Texas 21
Some of the blowouts like Miami-Nebraska, USC-Oklahoma and Bama-LSU were actually very entertaining for me because I love watching great performances by great teams.

I will go with D. It was a rematch, and one team got completely dominated and could not even get into field goal range. Lowest ratings for a BCS championship game ever.

Last year had to be boring from an outsiders perspective.
I LOVED every minute of it though. Miami was awesome.

Great Lsu defense held one of the nations highest scoring offense to only 14 points.

Not incidentally, all of the above seasons would've benefited from a four team playoff.
Take for example 2001-2002:
Semifinals
1. Miami vs. Oregon
2. Nebraska vs. Colorado (yeah, a rematch, but whatev)
or 2004-2005:
Semifinals
1. USC vs. Texas
2. Oklahoma vs. Auburn
2004 especially would have benefitted from a semifinal round
Finally, 2011-2012
1. LSU vs. Stanford
2. Alabama vs. Oklahoma State

Oklahoma actually scored the 1st TD against USC and the game really didn't get out of hand until late 2nd quarter.
It felt like Oklahoma could hang and we'd have a ballgame.
E) 2013 BCS National Championship Game - Alabama 42 - Notre Dame - 14
Winner.
2 minutes into the game - you knew it was over. ND was so outclassed it was a joke.
Anti-climatic and boring as hell...and mad because we all knew ND was a fraud.

I don't think this is correct. Link?
Of course, I would have liked to have not seen it.

All the games have been largely forgettable and poorly played with the exception of Texas/USC, Ohio State/Miami, and Oregon/Auburn. I'm sure I am forgetting maybe one.
Even LSU/Oklahoma. The score was close but LSU dominated the game.

...and the game was excruciating to watch for neutrals as it was so poorly executed and played.
Whoever suggested renaming Sunday night's LSU-Oklahoma matchup the Sweet 'N Low Bowl was onto something. When the mistake-filled, penalty-prone, almost four-hour tractor pull of a game came to a merciful finish, the LSU Tigers beat the Paper Tigers, 21-14, confirming what most of the nation suspected after Thursday's Rose Bowl.
Southern Cal could beat these teams -- back-to-back -- and still make it to the beach in time to catch the sunset.
