I want Flordia vs Texas for the BCS title

I know its been brought up already and will become more of an issue as the season winds down. And maybe if things go down to the decimal in the BCS poll, as they sometimes do, I'll feel differently, but right now I just can't get worked up about the BCS. I, honestly, don't really want to play for the title. I just want to go to the Rose Bowl.
We may be playing the best football in the country right now. We might be able to win it all, if given the chance. But I can't find it in myself to even care anymore. I did care in 2001. I did care in 2007. But the idea that, no matter how it's done, we just choose 2 teams to play and say that the winner is the champion of all of college football has just become too silly for me to get worked up about.
So, fuck it. Give me the Rose Bowl. We'll stomp Iowa and take our #2-4 ranking and I'll be damn happy about it. I can honestly say that, right now, I don't even want to be the 'national champion'. I know the argument is going to be made by a lot of Duck fans, and that, especially if a 1 loss team gets in there will be a lot of whining. I'm not going to be a part of that whining, though. I'm done with even considering national titles under this system anyway. If it happens someday, great. If not, I'm not going to lose a minute of sleep over it.
