Why oh why was this system ever created? I have been told that it was a true effort to try and make college football as equal as possible, but when you review the criteria for the BCS, I just can't seem to find the "good" in the system. I could give you stats, stories, and reasons the BCS doesn't work, but I'm guessing you have heard them all. If you are from a small conference, you are screaming for Boise State to finally get in as you cheer for Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Arkansas this weekend. If you are from the SEC, you are still wondering how an undefeated Auburn didn't get in over Oklahoma when they got decimatted by USC(plus a SEC team has won the last three championships which proves it definitely would have been a better game!). If you are from the Big East you are even cheering for Cincinnati so they can finally get a team in the championship game. Why is there more cheering against the team ahead of you in the polls than actually cheering for your own team?
This blog entry will be short and simple... create playoffs! Top eight playoff? Why is it that every other sport figured out that a playoff would be the simplest way to find a champion? I appreciate tradition, and I would love to keep the bowls, but I also would love it if there wasn't arguments against the national champion. Of course, people would argue for that ninth spot, but wouldn't we rather an argument for the ninth best team rather than the third? I know we all want a playoff...let's try and get it one!
Here are the picks for the weekend. I went 7-5, but had I not picked Florida State and Michigan for my husband's sake, I would have been 9-3. He told me that I just shouldn't pick them at all anymore(needless to say he is frustrated with this football season). So here we go...
Okla vs Texas- Texas
Wake vs Clemson- Clemson
UGA vs Vandy-go DAWGS!(please win...)
Ark vs UF-Go GATORS!
USC vs ND- USC
NC State vs BC-BC
UVA vs Maryland-UVA
Va Tech vs Ga Tech-Va Tech
Kent vs Auburn-Auburn
So Carolina vs Bama-Bama
Missouri vs Ok State-Missouri
Texas Tech vs Nebraska-Nebraska
