This just in: The BCS worked, suits. Spectacularly.
For the fourth time in eight years, we have ourselves a "clean" game. The nation's only two undefeated teams playing for the undisputed title.
That's a .500 batting average. Or, put in terms the non-football toting Bush would envy, a 50 percent approval rating.

We've got a game for the ages (USC-Texas in the Rose) and a game for the aged (Joe Paterno vs. Bobby Bowden in the Orange). We've got the return of Notre Dame (vs. Ohio State) led by -- if the right combo of juniors heads for the draft -- the 2006 Heisman front-runner, Brady Quinn.
