For dessert, the BCS serves up a final helping of irony.

Relax and enjoy, peeps.  The media has proclaimed – nay, shouted it from the rooftops – that this year’s national title game is what the people wanted!  Woo hoo!

Gee, kinda makes all that whither BCS? hand wringing in the wake of the response to 2011’s Alabama-LSU’s rematch seem a little silly now.  Overreact much?

Of course, the cherry on top of this particular sundae is that if the four-game playoff were in effect this season, we’d have a major controversy over the fourth-best team (Michigan State!  Baylor!  Tastes great, Lou!  Less filling, Mark!).

Then again, that’s nothing that can’t be fixed with an eight-team playoff.  More awesome sauce, please.
