The BCS Scheme

Seriously, what would a person rather do, go to that meeting for "Quickstar" with that friend that gets dooped into every multilevel business, or listen to ignorant BCS league executive back the BCS like it's some sort of proven system?

I would personally rather not do either. Lets not throw in the timeshare presentations either because I would like to punch the sales people in the mouth when sitting through to "earn" the Home Depot gift card.

In the history of the BCS, I can only think of one year that the system got it right. That would be the 2006 Rose Bowl and the BCS national "title" game between the University of Texas and the USC Trojans. But even then it was a fluke that both teams made it through their schedule unbeaten while no other team in America did. So in the ten years or so the BCS has been around, the right decision fell into their laps one time. In the Bible, I think 1 tenth is revered to as a "Tithe." So in essence the BCS has officially been tithed! When I hear the phrase Bowl Championship Series, I think of a series or playoff such as the World Series.

So who is number 1 this year when the final poll was released? Obviously it was Florida who won the lottery of computers for the "title". Are they the best team in America? I don't know, especially after their uninspired win over Oklahoma. Didn't OU give that game away by the way?

Why not this? I keep hearing that a "plus 1" should be added. WHY? The BCS could work but it chooses not to. A playoff is not fully necessary although there must be one inside the BCS system. 5 BCS games is to many. I am the first to admit that year in and year out, teams like Utah, Boise State, BYU, and TCU cannot compete in the big leagues. But there are years where their teams are special.

Why not go back to the original 4 games; the Rose Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, and the Orange Bowl. An 8 team playoff. Change the requirement for a non-BCS league team once again only this time to be in the top 8 to have a shot. In this system, Utah is the only team that would have gotten in if this were the system from day 1.

Once you take the top 8 or the 6 BCS league champs, there is room for 2 at large teams. 1 non-BCS league school, and one other such as Texas this year. If you took the league champs this is how the playoff would have looked and the seedings.

1. Oklahoma v. 20 Virginia Tech
2. Florida v. 15 Cincinnati
3. Texas v. 7 Penn State
5. USC v. 6 Utah

Does that not look better to anyone else. It does to me although I would never want garbage in the system such as Cinci and a 4-loss Virginia Tech team. But they were both the conference champs of their leagues. In this playoff, OU defeats Va Tech, Florida defeats Cinci, Texas defeats Penn State, and I believe USC probably beats Utah. But anything can happen and thats the beauty of a playoff. See NY Giants over New England in 2008 Superbowl.

Re-seeding the teams you get

1. Oklahoma v. 5 USC
2. Florida v. 3 Texas

My opinion tells me that USC defeats OU, and Florida hammers Texas. But again, anything can happen!

We then have an actual title game with USC v. Florida and everyone has their chance to prove what they need. This system will never happen but it would sure be nice. What is an extra three games to the eventual champion and runner-up? I don't think any player or coach would argue this. And for the record, I think Florida would beat USC but we'll never know so I am not agreeing with the BCS computers.

Changes need to be made so America can have a TRUE college football champ!!!! But since they don't, the only undefeated team in America, the University of Utah should be the national champions.

Get a clue you BCS morons! The writing is on the wall! How many corporations would allow their system to fail regularly without making changes to improve the system? I can't think of any that would!!!!!!!
