BCS

BCS should stand for big crappy system. year after year, college football arbitrarily decides who is worthy of playing for the national title. It is the only sport at any level that doesn’t decide its champion via a postseason tournament. This year Michigan was ranked 3rd well ahead of Florida. After USC lost, Florida then leaped up to number 2 to take Michigan’s spot. I can make no compelling argument that Florida doesn’t deserve to play for the title but no one can make a definitive argument against Michigan either. The reasons one uses to rank Florida ahead of Michigan existed last week when Michigan was ranked higher than Florida. So what changed? Why isn’t there a post season tournament? It’s all about the Hamiltons baby…..There is huge money tied up in the BCS bowl system so university presidents continue to hide behind the lie of “we care about academics and don’t want the stuent athletes to miss another week of class.” every year someone gets jobbed: Auburn 2 years ago, an undefeated Utah team last year, Boise state this year, Michigan and so on. Meanwhile an undeserving Notre Dame team gets another BCS bid after getting blown out against the only 2 real tams it played all year. It’s a big crappy system that will never work. I hope someday the champion will be crowned on the field.
