Setting May Be More Significant Than the Actual Game (NY Times)
From The New York Times:

For the first time in B.C.S. history, the overriding theme of championship week was not about the failure of the system: which team was denied, which team didn’t belong.
The system is so flawed that further debate seems futile.
The theme has been curiosity; concern over the healing process of New Orleans, a great city that was turned inside out by Hurricane Katrina.
New Orleans still shows the effects — almost two and a half years later — of one of the worst disasters in United States history, which, by some estimates, claimed 1,400 lives.
