BCS - Bullshit College System

Well we all know that I'm a huge sports fan. I follow college football - not just the Big XII but all college football conferences. It is time for a fair playoff system at the college level. I'm tired of it being a popularity conference - not just because UT is probably going to get screwed out of a BCS championship game...again. I want to see more football and I want to see it be about football and not popularity and who is the flavor of the week. I admit - I'm very biased but look at the Big XII this season for instance. We will probably end up with a 3 way tie for the Bix XII South championship. The team that wins the division will be the team with the highest ranking in the BCS rankings. There are 3 parts to the BCS rankings - the computers who judge on "style" points, strength of schedule, and some other things. Then you have the AP poll who is based on the experts that look at the whole spectrum - not just one conference or another - they watch all the games for each weekend - leaves some subjectivity to the rankings. Then there is the Coaches' Poll - talk about a popularity conference. It is who did what for me last in that one. It doesn't matter that Texas faced 4 top 10 teams in 4 weeks and lost in the last 3 seconds in the last game of that stretch. The thing they remember last is that Oklahoma beat up on Tech who was the team we lost to in the final seconds of that game. Oklahoma has had an easier schedule but because their "big" win came at the end of the season - they will get the "style" points even after we beat them head to head! Then there are teams out there with 1 loss like these Big XII teams, who are in the running based on their reputation only - like USC (University of Spoiled Children) and Florida - seriously - who has Florida really faced this year?!? We have teams that have to play an extra game a year and have a championship game for their conference and others who don't have the risk of that loss going to their record.

If Bama goes undefeated go ahead and put them in the championship bowl game but, if they lose lets see a Big XII rematch - Texas vs. Oklahoma - nothing says we can't have 2 Big XII teams in the championship other than voters who are too closed minded to think outside their little box. Until we have a playoff system, we will still be forced to deal with this bullshit college system that leaves way too much up to subjective opinion and not to who is most deserving of the opportunity to play in the big game.
