Point/Counterpoint: Is it even worth watching anymore?
Point: With Bowl Season still over a month and a half away, I find it highly disturbing that this question needs to be asked. The beauty of the current system is that each and every game counts, and even a game against an unranked opponent can have as big of an effect on your season as the conference championship game. If Purdue can beat Michigan and Northwestern can trounce Iowa, it means two things: the Big 10 is horrifically pathetic, and upsets can happen at any time.

At least we can agree that the Big 10 sucks balls.
Counterpoint: With LSU’s loss to Alabama this past weekend and Texas continuing to look like a contender, this season has become an absolute snoozefest. Let’s face it, when the Horned Frogs are ranked fourth, the rest of the nation must really suck — and believe me, if we had any excuse not to rank them that high, we’d be using it.
The Big 10 looks like it’s only been recruiting retards for the past 5 years, USC and Oklahoma put up a combined 17 points against unranked opponents this past weekend, and we’re looking at a potential Arizona-Ohio St. Rose Bowl. If you just vomited in your mouth, you’re not alone. Once again, it’s gonna be Texas against whoever wins the SEC championship game. So if you’re smart, you’ll start tailgating for Alabama-Florida right now, and you’ll stay drunk until the big game in Pasadena…because we’ve got a lot of meaningless football ahead of us.
