This has been the most exciting season in college football I can remember. There is no clear number one, or even top two teams. I can’t wait to see what happens in the playoffs. What? No playoffs? Well that doesn’t make any sense. That’s like watching the first 50 minutes of House. I wanna know why this woman tests negative for everything yet starts bleeding from various places for no reason at all. How could anyone possibly think the BCS is the best way to decide things? BCS Douchebag: “College football has the best regular season in sports. Every game is like a playoff game.”
Ok, tell that to Hawaii. They won all their playoff games. Lucky for them voters can tell they aren’t good enough to play the really good teams. It’s their fault, though. They didn’t play anybody. They should have followed Ohio State’s example, who scheduled out of conference powerhouses like Youngstown State and Kent State. Ohio State’s best game was this past week, when they didn’t play a game but managed to fall into the Championship game because other teams lost. And LSU lost twice. But I guess they lost to the right teams at the right time in the right way for voters to conclude they’re better than all the other teams with the same record.
Even if it is the best regular season, is that a good reason to have the worst post season. Would college basketball benefit if we got rid of the tournament? It would make the regular season a hell of lot more important. The whole point of a regular season is to prepare teams for the post season.
BCS Douchebag: “BCS is good because it gets people to talk about college football.”
Yeah, I’ve been hearing a lot about OJ lately. How’s his career going? Everyone talking about how much the BCS sucks is not good for College Football. The only reason it hasn’t ruined College football already is because the games are so good. But how long can you serve good food with horrible service before people stop coming to your restaurant?
BCS Douchebag: “A playoff would ruin the Bowl System.”
I don’t see it that way. There are four major bowl games (Rose, Orange, Fiesta, and Sugar). What if the winners of those games play each other, than those winners play in a championship? Three more games and we have an undisputed champion. Picking the teams is fairly straight forward: The champions of the six major conferences (Pac-10, Big 12, Big 10, Big East, ACC, and SEC) plus two at large teams, at least one of them coming from outside those conferences. This year we would have USC, Oklahoma, Ohio State, WVU, V-Tech, LSU, Hawaii and probably Georgia. I’d watch that. I don’t even know who would be favored out of those teams. In fact, now I’m really excited to see who would win out of those teams. Man, December would almost be as good as March, March being the best month of the year (NCAA Tournament, St. Patrick’s Day, spring break). How insane is the NCAA to think this would be bad for them?!
BCS Douchebag: “Students and fans can’t go to multiple games in the same numbers they go to one bowl game.”
Ok, douchebag, you got me there. The ACC hasn’t even been able to sell out their Championship game, although I’m not sure having it in Florida is helping the cause. But are you trying to tell me schools in a major bowl game and any game afterwards won’t bring a jacked up crowd? Win or go home. Every game could be the last. It even makes the conference championship more important. The games would all be during winter break, so students wouldn’t have to miss any class. Do you really think adding games will lose schools money?
The BCS has proven every year that it doesn’t work. Every year a new flaw screws up the Championship. A colander will never hold water, no matter how many holes you plug, and the BCS will never work. No more voting. No more split champions. Decide who is the best football team is the only way it can be done, by playing football.
