Sounds good. It's a pretty cool looking trophy. I think that since so many wonderful people here at CF voted for it, KF may decide to let ISU fans take pictures of it, and pretend that it's theirs.

It's all of ours. Koom-by-ah

Wow, guys - it's called sarcasm. Other than SH, DJK, and Mr. Miller, no one on this site actually meant it when they voted for them...

Or people think it's funny that the intent of the original poster has now been lost.

To stir up more crap? Oh no, I think that one is still clear. At least to me...

its gotta suck for osu to make it to the national title game twice just to be blown out both times.

I would say LSU. Your #1 until somebody beats you.

I absolutely get what you are saying, and I agree with what you're saying - I'd rather have the BCS Champion trophy over the Cy-Hawk. However, even though they are mutually exclusive events, I don't see BCS champion happening without us winning the Cy-Hawk trophy. I think we'd have to finish the season undefeated, and even then it's no guarantee as it would be a long climb to the top of the polls for us and it's quite possible due to national respect alone that one or two 1-loss teams could be ranked ahead of us in the BCS standings, even if we are undefeated. And that 2002 Iowa game is a valid argument - they were expected to be very good that year - maybe not BCS-good, but nonetheless very good. It's amazing they recovered the way they did, but nonetheless they still didn't make it to the championship game. I think we'd be hard-pressed to think that we would end up in the championship game if we lost the Cy-Hawk game earlier in the year. I honestly think ANY run at the championship game would have to mean absolute perfection in the previous 13 games.
