1. The BCS bowl match-ups were released today and the nation bitched. One jackass is even trying to pass federal legislation to change the BCS system. Yes, thats the solution to a system that doesn't work, the Federal Government.
2. The most fatal flaw to the BCS system? The fact I have to watch Georgia Tech vs. Iowa in the Orange Bowl. There is a joke here comparing this game to NFL blackouts, but I'll let the three people reading this figure it out.
3. The ultimate BCS screw job? How about pitting TCU vs. Boise State, guarenteeing a loss for one of the "BCS Busters." Now there is no possible way either team can gain some clout within college football. Boise State vs. Florida and TCU vs. Cincy would be 100 times more intriguing.
4. The BCS has become Vince McMahon circa the late nineties, screwing everyone in sight. The only problem, there is no story line, this is actually how college football operates. I'm not sure if the bigger problem is lack of a playoff or the practice of pre-season rankings. Either way, this has Bret Hart screw job written all over it.
5. Man how far did USC fall off this year, Arizona! Ohio State's loss to USC in the Shoe, against a freshman quarterback is now even worse. What does this mean? An Ohio State vs. Oregon Rose Bowl could be a disaster. This is the worst set of BCS games since the system was put in place and further proof that the BCS should be exterminated. Tim Tebow crying sums up the nations feelings on college football right now, dry your eyes Timmy there is a life after Florida, however it most likely will involve special teams.
This is an absolute tragedy. I try not to care about the BCS the same way I no longer care about the Heisman race, but they keep pullin me back in. I understand Bama being there. They earned it. The SEC is legit and to go unbeaten in that conference is more difficult than listening to Joe Buck and Troy Aikman drool all over each other in the booth on Sundays. When the camera pans to the booth I half expect Aikman to be holding a bottle of baby oil while Buck sits there with nothing but boobie tassels on grinning like an 80 year old Texas oil tycoon billionaire in a wheel chair with a 22 year old bombshell cupping his wrinkled balls. But you cannot convince me, no matter how fast you talk, that TCU didn't play just as tough of a schedule this year as Texas did in the Big 12. Take a look at Texas non conference schedule but when you do be fully prepared to throw up on yourself. Then take a long look at the actual Big 12 this year. It was a joke. Nobody wants TCU or Boise in the championship game because they think Bama is gonna use them to mop the floor of a spank booth in a highway porn shop, but do you really think Texas is going to be any different? A mid major has just as good of a chance this year upsetting Bama as does Texas. I'm sure of it. Give em a chance already.
ReplyDeleteOhio State took a "screwed" Texas team last year and is one bad 4th down spot away from winning. Sorry, Texas doesn't convince me.
ReplyDeleteAs far as Troy Aikaman and Joe Buck, they are the AP students sitting at the front of my High School ethics class wearing Old Navy button downs tucked into khaki pants and brown Doc Martians. I wanted to fight them then, and now.
