I can ramble on for 10 paragraphs on this topic but I see no need to continually highlight the obvious. BCS sucks as much the 30 minute drawn out FOX selection show that they had last night announcing the pairings for the BCS bowl games.
I am related to a college president in one of the major BCS conferences and I think it is time to fire him off an email to explain the rationale behind these college presidents continually endorsing such a crappy, inefficient way to determine a national champion.
I already know the reason the system continues to exist is to hoard the big pot of money for the Big 6 BCS conferences and protect the financial interests of the bowl CEOs/sponsors. As in most decisions or issues in our country, it is ALWAYS about the money.
Ohio State beat 2 average teams in Michigan and Penn State. As a Big 10 guy, I do not want to hear about how bad the Big 10 sucks for 8 months in case Ohio State gets rolled again. I watch the games every week and I know the conference sucks.
Mizzou should be playing in a BCS bowl game over KU, a team they just beat 2 weeks ago.
Georgia got screwed by the system because according to the rankings they should have been bumped up and instead they were penalized by not playing in conference title game. There needs to be a rule added that only conference champions can play in the national title game. My man at Hey Jenny Slater breaks this down quite well.
I love Colt Brennan and Hawaii but they would have 3 or 4 losses if it played in one of the BCS conferences. They did win all of their games and no big schools will play them so I guess they deserve a BCS shot. Boise State's win over OU last year helped their cause. However, no way they are one of the best 10 teams in the college football.
I keep hearing buzz about a SEC bias and I understand some of the logic for the argument. LSU, UF, UGA can play with any teams in America. I think it drops down a level after that to Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee. The SEC definitely has more quality depth than most conferences but I do not think their tops teams are head and above everyone else.
The only way to settle the best conference argument is by bowl records and until then, they jury is still out.
LSU has 2 losses and gets to play in national title game. How are LSU's 2 losses more impressive than Va Tech, OU or USC? I know LSU smoked Va Tech way back in September and that seemed to propel them over the Hokies.
I think LSU is one of the most talented teams in America but if they get credit for 2 close OT losses then I feel they should get deducted for 3 of their other last second wins.(UF,Auburn,Bama)
I think LSU/OU is probably the match up for the national title game but honestly, does it even matter anymore?
I am not even making sense and my head is spinning from reneging on my promises not to ramble on.
Oh, only 35 days of hype until the BCS title game. I can not wait! UGH
I am sure ESPN will make us hate both teams by the 2nd week of December. DOUBLE UGH!
This hit should wake everyone up on a Munday morning.
