The College Football History alternative to the BCS College Football Standings:
Heavyweight Football Champs
2008 College Football Season
Red Raiders Knock Out Cowboys
The Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated the Oklahoma State Cowboys in another battle of Big 12 powerhouses in their first title defense after taking the title from Texas. The Cowboys, hoping to take back the title they lost only 2 weeks ago, could not keep up with the Tech offensive attack.
Next National Championship Game:
Texas Tech Red Raiders at Oklahoma Sooners, November 15, 2008
The Champion
Texas Tech Red Raiders
The Challenger
Oklahoma Sooners
The title has changed hands 3 times in the past 5 weeks. The trend may continue, considering that the Big 12 South currently has 4 of the top 8 rated teams in the country. Texas Tech has the toughest road ahead in recent history if it wants to hold on to the title, as it will have to beat 4th ranked Oklahoma, an improving Baylor, then will likely face number 13 Missouri in the conference championship game, not to mention their bowl opponent. This may be the most brutal end run ever for a team to finish out as heavyweight champion.

How do we pick the REAL National Champions?
There is no such thing as a national champion in college football. Even the BCS College Football Standing has no authority to claim an official National Champion. The polls have their flaws. If the computers were the answer, wouldn't they end up agreeing with each other?
What about a playoff? In College Football history, there has never been a true division 1A playoff. There's nothing that indicates we'll see one in the near future anyway.
