Every college football season is another opportunity to make the BCS system look ridiculous. When you have more than two undefeated teams it makes them look bad. When you have a few teams on the outside of the national championship looking in, it makes them look bad. This season everybody lost, so the teams at the top have changed more than Beyonce during one of her concerts.
Which brings us to today.

You knew something wasn’t right when the “number one team” in the country is a three point underdog going in to the Big 12 Championship game. But even I didn’t expect it to be this bad. Let’s be realistic. We all know that Mizzou v. West Virginia would have been the lowest rated championship game ever. It would have been fun to watch all the commentators try hype up such an awful game for an entire month. Don’t get me wrong, I like a sports Cinderella story as much as the next guy, but we’ve had some really BS teams in the top spots this year. Boston College? The USF Bulls? Missou, Kansas, and West Virginia?

I didn’t watch the games, but I think the BCS planted Tim Donaghy at the games to make sure things “turned out right”.
So here we go, we find out the Bowl matchups tonight and the AP rankings already have Ohio State and LSU in the top two spots. Yeah, people are voting for the game they want to see. Let’s see, I guess the “computer” was wrong when it had the Georgia Bulldogs at #4 and LSU at #7 when the Dawgs weren’t even in the SEC championship game. Sorry Georgia, it’s not looking good. Ohio State got to sit on the sidelines for the last two weeks of the season and watch teams lose around them. That doesn’t quite seem fair, does it? So let me get this right, in the SEC not playing is a bad thing, so LSU jumps (5 spots? when else has that happened?) but in the Big Ten it is a good thing. Great, Ohio State last played on November 21. The national championship game is January 7th. Ohio State has almost two months off before the game. What else? Ohhhhhh, the game is being played in New Orleans, Louisiana. Nice.
All this proves is that there needs to be a playoff system. I know the BCS likes the cash, intrigue developed in the current system, and they continue to say it is a fair system. In reality, how great would it be to see the top 8 teams in a playoff? Look at these teams, Ohio State, LSU, Oklahoma, Georgia, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Mizzou, and Kansas. Maybe the undefeated Hawaii gets a shot to test themselves against respected programs since it appears that everyone thinks their record is complete BS. Florida is right there on the edge. Give the teams that worked hard a shot at it. Seriously, there is nothing Hawaii could have done better, they don’t deserve a sniff at it? Next year they will be rewarded with a ranking in the high teens while perennial favorites like Michigan, Florida, USC, Texas, and Cal get right back to where they are every year. Plus, think of the drama of March Madness, teams earn it with every game. The underdog schools build a following by showing their heart on the field. The national favorites get a few weeks where everyone gets to see how good they are on a national stage so by time they hoist the trophy everyone knows what they can do.
This season has been a debacle for the BCS, it is time for a change. No one wants this.

—————UPDATE———————
Well, the results are in. This is a joke. Look, if you are just going to make the games you want to see at the end of the year, throw out the whole system. Don’t get me wrong, LSU v. Ohio State is exactly the game I want to see, and the only thing that makes sense at this point. So get this. Georgia goes in to the weekend at number 4 in the BCS. Then #1 and #2 lose. That makes them number two going into the championship game, right? That is how it happened the other thirteen weeks of the season, right? That is how Boston College, South Florida, Kansas and all of those jokers got to be #2, right?
Not this week, this week when two of the three teams in front of you lose, you come back out of the week at number FIVE. That’s right, they didn’t play and lost a spot. Ohio State didn’t play and got right up to #1. That means VA Tech jumped up three slots for beating number 11 Boston College. LSU jumps five slots to number two, and Oklahoma also jumps up five to number 3…but they beat the number one team in the country so they deserved it, right? Meanwhile #9 Kansas gets in while #6 Mizzou drops out completely, that sucks.

Yeah, look at it, read it again. None of it makes sense. But no one will remember it by time Kirk Herbstreit and Corso talk about it for a month. We got the game everyone wants, that’s the whole point, right?
Right?

Ok, so Nick Saban misspoke, enough already
November 21, 2007I don’t think Nick Saban should have said that he’s “not going to be the coach of Alabama” and then go and take the job at Alabama.
He shouldn’t be such an arrogant f*ck and blame his players for losing to Louisiana Monroe.
And finally, clearly he shouldn’t have equated 9/11 to the state of his rock bottom college football team.
All that is fine. But let me tell you something. He shouldn’t have said it, but it’s not the end of the world either. It’s not THAT bad. He tried to make a point and he missed the mark. He put his foot in his mouth and then ran behind a spokesperson from Alabama (they got those down there? Git ‘er dun!!!!). But I’m tired of people acting like just because this dude is the coach of a damn football team that he’s suddenly disrespected all the victims of 9/11 or all the men and women in service in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. You know who disrespects all those people, your president Dubyah. His blundering, falling asleep at the wheel, puppet administration is a complete and utter disgrace, but you don’t hear people call him out. No, they’d rather complain about NICK SABAN the football coach at Alabama!!!
Whatever…. And ‘Bama, you guys bought this guy, took him under shady circumstances, and either knew or should have known that he’s a know-it-all, self-important ass of the highest order. That says more about you than it does Nick. Ok? Enjoy that 6-6 record.
