FANTASY FOOTBALL ALERT: Drew Brees will sit during the NFC Title Game, so he can be rested for the Super Bowl. With a weekoff next Sunday, Brees will have another 3 week break, just like he did to end the season. With the Saints playing at home and the fans on their side, the Saints believe that there is no way they will lose today.
Backup quarterback Mark Brunell will face the Vikings, equalizing the experience and knowledge of the just as old quarterback he's facing in Brett Favre. The goal for the Saints this year hasn't been to win the NFC Title Game, but it's been to win the Super Bowl. They don't want Brees to get injured in a meaningless game when they have the biggest game of their lives in two weeks against the Colts.

Colts and Saints Angry the NFL Doesn't Have the BCS System
Undefeated 12-0 New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts are disappointed that the NFL hasn't adopted the unpopular BCS system from college football. The Saints and Colts are the unanimous #1 and #2 teams in every power ranking released by sports web sites this week. If the NFL instituted the BCS, these two teams would play in the Superbowl, while the other teams would play in meaningless bowl games such as the Pro Bowl.
With the NFL having a playoff system instead of the BCS, the Colts and Saints will have to win two games each in order to just make it to the Superbowl. Teams ranked lower in the Power Rankings such as the San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals will have a chance to play the Colts and Saints in the playoffs, having to only beat them once to advance.
If a low ranked team should defeat the Saints or Colts, there will be a lot of controversy with the final power rankings. If the Cardinals should beat the Colts in the Superbowl, who should be ranked higher in the final power rankings? Is an Arizona Cardinals team better than an 18-1 Colts team? According to the Saints and Colts, the controversy could be avoided if the NFL listened to their college counterparts.
