National Playoff Game Lifts College Football to New Level of Popularity
Well, I like the Rose Bowl in News Year's Day, which sometimes got messed up under BCS.
So, yeah. A national playoff works better for me.
But see the Los Angeles Times, "College football's breakout performance":
So, yeah. A national playoff works better for me.
But see the Los Angeles Times, "College football's breakout performance":
The show Monday night was forecast to draw the largest audience in cable television history. A 30-second advertising spot was going for as much $1 million.
The cause of all this attention: the first-ever College Football Playoff championship game.
Ohio State upset Oregon, 42-20, before 85,639 fans in a game that failed to follow anything resembling the anticipated script. The champion Buckeyes were the last team to earn a spot in the four-team playoff field, and they fell behind almost immediately as high-powered Oregon bolted 75 yards in 11 plays for a touchdown the first time they had the ball.
In the end, however, it was Ohio State celebrating on the field amid a shower of confetti, the first champions of a new era in college football.
The championship, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, the most modern and palatial of professional football venues, concluded one of the most scrutinized seasons in history. It was the first time that a major college football championship was settled by a playoff.
On New Year's Day, semifinal matches between Ohio State and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and Oregon and Florida State in the Rose Bowl, like Monday's game on ESPN, each drew record cable audiences of more than 28 million.
The game capped a season in which an already popular sport enjoyed a renaissance, scaling new heights in fan interest and flexing ever-building financial clout.
The playoff at least temporarily settled a rocky championship history that spanned decades.
For many years, teams from college football's highest competition level were awarded national titles in votes by associations of reporters and coaches. Then came the Bowl Championship Series, a 16-year era in which computer data were added to voting tabulations in a vexing formula that resulted in the two highest-rated teams at the end of the regular season meeting in a winner-takes-all final game.
It was a controversial — and, it turns out, flawed — system. Had the BCS been used this season, Alabama and Florida State would have been the top-ranked teams and met in the title game. Instead, they lost in the semifinal round.
This season, the final four teams were selected by a 12-member committee of college officials and other dignitaries — former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice among them — who met weekly near Dallas and, beginning in the ninth week of the season, issued a weekly top-25 ranking.
"The anticipation of the weekly rankings, the crescendo that built … is something I hadn't seen in my experience," said Pat Haden, a committee member who played quarterback at USC, was a broadcaster for Notre Dame and is currently USC's athletic director.
The new system, like the old, has stirred debate — right from the start. College football's top teams are spread over five "power conferences," and with only four semifinal spots available, at least one champion is always going to be left out.
This season, Texas Christian and Baylor, co-champions of the Big 12 Conference, were the odd teams out. It was particularly disappointing for TCU, which was No. 3 in the next-to-last ranking but was jumped by Florida State, Ohio State and Baylor on the final list even after a 52-point win in its last regular-season game.
"No matter what the system, the teams that finished outside the cutline are going to feel they were treated unfairly," Haden said. "No system, even this one, is going to be without critics."...

Oregon Ducks Crushed by Ohio State Buckeys
Although the score wasn't that lopsided, there was obviously little hope for Oregon. Ohio State was clearly dominant.
From Bill Plaschke, at LAT, "Those fast Oregon Ducks are sped to their doom by Ohio State Buckeyes":
Plaschke's pulling no punches.
Still more at the link.
From Bill Plaschke, at LAT, "Those fast Oregon Ducks are sped to their doom by Ohio State Buckeyes":
The speed was stopped. The tempo was trampled. The coolest team in college football was punched in its shiny, swoosh-adorned jaw.Heh.
At the sweaty, painful end of their national championship nightmare Monday at AT&T Stadium, the only thing the Oregon players dominated was their aluminum bench.
It sat at the rear of their sideline. As Ohio State finished off a 42-20 pounding to win the inaugural College Football Playoff national title, that bench was full of Oregon players. Some were staring glassy-eyed at the giant overhead scoreboard. Some were quietly crying. Some covered their faces in towels.
"Get up!" shouted linebacker Torrodney Prevot, stalking in front of his teammates, wildly waving his hands. "Get up, get up, get up."
Nobody moved. It was the final indignity. Oregon had been more than just beaten. The fastest team in sports had been rendered motionless.
The dozen or so Ducks left the bench only when the final seconds had disappeared and the gold confetti had begun raining mercilessly down upon their spoiled parade. By the time they had trudged off the field, gold strands struck to their sleek cleats, slowing them one final time.
"It's definitely shocking," Prevot said later, shaking his head. "We had everything in store for them. There was nothing else we could do."
Ohio State wasn't even supposed to be here. Under the old Bowl Championship Series system, the Buckeyes would not have been here. Oregon was supposed to win here. After showing both strength and savvy in wiping out defending champion Florida State in the semifinals, this was supposed to be both coronation and affirmation for the blindingly fast spread system that had dominated college football's regular season for several years.
This was supposed to be all about the Ducks, a fact that was seemingly confirmed after Oregon had driven for a touchdown in less than three minutes on the game's opening drive.
"Then things just went wrong," said Oregon running back Thomas Tyner.
Things like a powerful Buckeyes attack that steamrollered the Ducks for 538 yards, including 246 yards rushing by Ezekiel Elliott. Things like a crushing Buckeyes defense that smothered a Ducks offense that couldn't sufficiently capitalize on four Ohio State turnovers. Things like an overwhelming Buckeyes culture with fans filling much of the stadium with red shirts and ominous cries of "Ohhhhh."
"You know," admitted Tyner, "they played a helluva game."
Once again, being overpowered and outfought has happened to an Oregon team that has long fought the perception it is not big or strong enough. Once again, college football's funkiest uniforms have been stained with blood and flattened against turf. Once again, Nike's team didn't do it.
Oregon is still looking for its first national championship, the Pac-12 Conference has once again been scolded and sent to its room to beef up, and yeah, for the umpteenth time, bring on the bad metaphors.
They were duck soup. They were duck, duck goosed. They had the quack beat out of them. They spent three rocky hours on the Oregon Fail.

What the Paris No-Show Says About the Obama Administration — #CharlieHebdo
At the Wall Street Journal:
I'd thought by now my disgust with this administration had bottomed out. But no. Obama's shamelessness is a bottomless pit.
The failure of the U.S. government to send a high-level representative to the historic Paris march against Islamist terror on Sunday is being roundly criticized, even by anchors at CNN. We share the sentiment, but this is no mere diplomatic snafu.Reprehensible.
Press secretary Josh Earnest said Monday that President Obama regretted not joining more than 40 world leaders at the rally in defiance of the Charlie Hebdo killers and their al Qaeda sponsors. “I guess what I’m saying is that we agree that we should have sent someone with a higher profile,” Mr. Earnest added, which we guess passes for contrition.
Yet as recently as Sunday night officials dismissed criticism by noting the presence of Jane Hartley, the U.S. Ambassador to France nominated in June and an Obama campaign bundler. On Monday Mr. Earnest gestured at “security challenges.” Presumably the same risks attended the German Chancellor, the British and Israeli Prime Ministers, the Middle Eastern royals and African presidents.
If Mr. Obama was too much of a distraction, then surely someone else of cabinet rank was available. Secretary of State John Kerry claimed a previous commitment in India, but then why not Vice President Joe Biden or Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel ? None would have to fly commercial. Attorney General Eric Holder was in Paris but still chose not to go.
A fair conclusion is that the White House didn’t think it mattered. This fits Mr. Obama’s generally dismissive attitude toward Europe. He was happy to use the symbolism of a speech before tens of thousands of adoring Berliners in 2008 to burnish his theme of restoring America’s image in the world. But as President he has treated foreign policy like a distraction from his work of, well, going to Tennessee to pitch “free” college. America’s image has worsened.
The other signal sent by his French omission is this Administration’s continuing failure to appreciate the nature and scope of the Islamist threat. The murders at Charlie Hebdo and the kosher deli were attacks on innocents and our ally France. But they also represent a political ideology that threatens Western freedom and civilization. The ostensible leader of the free world should want to show solidarity against such a profound menace that will require Western unity to defeat...
I'd thought by now my disgust with this administration had bottomed out. But no. Obama's shamelessness is a bottomless pit.

Here's Who Is and Isn't Publishing the New Charlie Hebdo Cover Image
At BuzzFeed. Click through for the list.
I noted earlier that the Wall Street Journal published Charlie Hebdo images in their first editorial on the attacks. The New York Times? Not so much.
And from Glenn Reynolds, "WELL, THAT’S NOT HOW WE ROLL HERE AT INSTAPUNDIT..."
The cover reads "All is forgiven." See Twitchy, "‘Le brass balls, y’all': Charlie Hebdo not backing down with new cover art [photo]."

The Scandal of Free Speech
From Bret Stephens, at WSJ, "A year from now none but the unfeint of heart will still be with Charlie":
But continue reading.

Last May, sex-advice columnist Dan Savage gave a talk at the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics in which he used a term so infamous that it caused members of the audience to walk out “in a state of distress.” Later, a petition was put forward to demand that the institute apologize “for failing to stop” Mr. Savage from using the term, and to “assert a commitment to preventing the use of slurs and hate speech in the future.”No surprise, of course, that the radical left is Islam's partner in tyranny, terror, and oppression.
The word in question? To adapt the old joke: I could tell you but they’re going to kill me.
Well, OK, here goes. The word is “tranny,” meaning a transgender, or transsexual, or transvestite person. So hideously offensive is this word nowadays that, when I arrived at an Institute of Politics event a few weeks later, a group called Queers United in Power—or QUIP, minus the humor—held a protest outside and handed out fliers denouncing (without spelling out) the use of the “T word.” I had to ask around to find out just what the word was; I got the answer in a whisper.
Attention all of you logicians of Hyde Park: If words are to be forbidden, must they not first be known?
I was reminded of this small episode following last week’s massacre of journalists in France, after which it has become fashionable to “be” Charlie Hebdo. Sorry, but QUIP is not Charlie Hebdo: QUIP is al Qaeda with a different list of moral objections and a milder set of criminal penalties. Otherwise, like al Qaeda, it’s the same unattractive mix of quavering personal sensitivity and totalitarian demands for ideological conformity.
To which one can only reply: tranny-tranny-tranny; Muhammad-Muhammad-Muhammad; de-da-da-da. Free speech—at least speech that is truly free—is always a scandal to someone or other. Chill out and deal with it.
But deal with it we won’t. People forget just how radical is the idea of free speech. For more that 2,000 years—between, say, the executions of Socrates and Giordano Bruno —the story of the West was the story of killing blasphemers. Enlightenment began when we started to repent the practice; modernity survives under the shield of the First Amendment and equivalent laws in the free world. But the arrows always keep coming.
I doubt the Charlie Hebdo murders will do much to shake loose the array of campus speech codes or change the incentive structures for their enforcers in sundry administrative offices and multicultural-affairs departments...

Get the Hell Out of France
From Paula Stern, at A Soldier's Mother:
It's an interesting question. Remember, Claire Berlinski would rather fight the Islamists than have have the Jews flee France for a second time.
We went into Shabbat praying for the hostages and their families in Paris. We knew very few of the details - two killed, though this was denied by the French. At least 6 held hostage.Keep reading.
My youngest is about to turn 15, she has several friends whose parents came from France. The cousin of one was in the store just minutes before the attack; another wasn't able to find a cousin and was afraid she might be inside. This is how we began the Sabbath. "They won't leave," my youngest said to me in sadness. "They won't leave."
As soon as the Sabbath ended, I heard the devastating news that four innocent Jews had been killed and another 15 had been rescued in the hostage situation. Among the dead, was the son of the chief Rabbi of Tunis. They were part of a killing spree that cost France a total of 17 lives during the past week. At least five of those were Jews; the policeman gunned down in cold blood was a Muslim.
I am filled with pain and anger. Some for the Jews themselves. I do not believe in blaming the victim. That is something almost instinctive when you have low opinions of the killers, you naturally think that perhaps there is something the victim could have done - it's wrong.
And yet...I want to shout at the Jewish community in France. Enough already. Get the hell out of France now. I don't care how hard it is - the reality of what France is becoming is harder.
I don't care what it costs - would you place your money above the lives of your children? You have just paid the highest price. God Almighty, what more do you need?
Pack your stinking bags, please please please. The pain tears at our hearts - that is what it is to be a Jew. To feel, to the core of your being, the agony of a Jew, no matter where. All Shabbat, we held you in our prayers, in our hearts, desperate to hear of a miracle; deeply saddened that two had been murdered; terrified that even as we were praying more would have died.
There are a thousand reasons why moving to Israel is hard - the economy, leaving behind roots that have grown over centuries, the comfort of speaking the language of your birth, even if it isn't really the language of your fathers. Grandparents, elderly parents, relatives that can't come now and may never leave. Jobs, homes, stores...a thousand reasons to stay and but one major one to leave - the time has come...
It's an interesting question. Remember, Claire Berlinski would rather fight the Islamists than have have the Jews flee France for a second time.
The Death-Cult Ideology That France Prefers Not to Name
An essay from Israel's David Horovitz, via Blazing Cat Fur:
Click through to RTWT, at Blazing Cat Fur.
France rallied on Sunday like its life depended on it. Three and a half million people took to the streets in an unprecedented show of solidarity with the 17 victims murdered by three Islamist gunmen last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. “I am Charlie,” “I am a police officer,” “I am a Jew,” their placards asserted, identifying in turn with each category of victim — the journalists, the cops, the Jews. “We will not be divided,” “We will not be terrorized,” “We will not give up our freedom,” they declared.Naturally.
We will fight Islamist terrorism with every sinew of our being, in order to ensure the protection of the freedoms that we cherish and that it seeks to destroy? That, they didn’t say...

CNN's Brianna Keiler: Terrorism Isn't Obama's 'Issue'; He's Not 'Comfortable' Standing Against Terrorism with Other World Leaders (VIDEO)
From Noah Rothman, at Hot Air, "CNN: Terrorism really isn’t Obama’s ‘issue’":
On Monday, White House Press Sec. Josh Earnest conceded that Barack Obama’s White House should have sent a figure of more stature to attend the historic march in protest of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo than America’s ambassador to France. After much prodding from the press corps, Earnest conceded that the president was at home in the White House on Sunday.Brianna Keiler's a good lady. Watch:
The political press has been finding it difficult to make excuses for the president’s absence from this event. Many members of the media have, in fact, confessed that they are uncomfortable with the president’s decision to largely ignore the historic march.
One intrepid CNN reporter offered her theory for why Obama declined to attend the rally in Paris when so many of heads of state around the globe did: Politics.
New York Magazine Surveys 53 Leftist 'Historians' on Barack Obama's Legacy
The first thing to note about this totally unscientific "survey," conducted by Thomas Meaney of the Columbia University History Department, is that it employs no systematic methodology to generate even the semblance of an unbiased "sample."
Indeed, looking over the report, I see no statement or disclaimer on the methodology. Shoot, these aren't even "historians" at all. It's a hodgepodge of non-fiction writers, historians, journalists, and political scientists. Included is the notorious anti-Semitic Stephen Walt, of Harvard's JFK School of Government, and author of "The Israel Lobby" infamy.
All efforts to rank presidents using "experts" will be horribly prone to bias, but New York Magazine's attempt is even more silly than usual.
In any case, here's the write-up at Newsmax, "Historians on Obama Legacy: 'Polarizing,' Not 'Transformative'."
Then, at New York Magazine, "53 Historians Weigh In on Barack Obama’s Legacy." (At Memeorandum.)
And also the partisan reactions, from Jonathan Chait, "History Will Be Very Kind," and Christopher Caldwell, "History Will Eviscerate Him."
Obama may not be history's worst president. It's too soon to tell, in any case. Perhaps he hasn't hit bottom yet. But it's highly doubtful he'll manage ultimately to escape the ignominy of "average" to "below average" categories. If Obama somehow manages to get credit for putting a floor in the collapsing economy in 2008, despite six years of less-than-middling economic growth, then it's likely he'll be saved from the final indignity of the "failed" category. But we'll see. We'll see.
