BULLSHIT BCS!

I'm tired of it.

What is the most fair way to determine if one team is better than another?

YOU COMPETE THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER.

I'm tired of saying it. Football is different than Baseball, Basketball and Hockey. The toll and punishment put into that sport will not allow for a 20 game season.

But it would allow for 15. Easily. A High School champion on average plays 14-16 games. They have playoffs, typically after a 10 game regular season.

So there is no argument that can be made about player safety etc.

Secondly is about amount of school missed due to traveling to the bowl sites. Well, sorry bowl games, but I'm done with you, at least as far as titles are concerned. Bowl games should now just be referred to as playoff sites.

I know this may break your heart if you're a traditionalist but I just can't get into the whole nalstagia thing, and what good is a 'Sugar Bowl' or 'TicketCity Bowl' or 'Cotton Bowl' or 'Rose Bowl' No one cares, it's about the teams that are playing.

Would you watch the Rose Bowl if it had Indiana and Vanderbilt playing in it? No. Would you watch an Oklahoma State vs. LSU in the inagural TardPoop Bowl? Yes. And I'm betting you would even brave shitty weather to do it.

Thats the other thing. What if we didn't have to travel to Florida, Texas, or California for the games? What if you got to attend a regional game in say...Philly, DC or New York? I would certainly go to a Penn State game in the region regaurdless of opponent, then if they moved a bit further out and played in Arizona, or maybe in Chicago I would still strongly consider it. If they concluded somewhere further out, perhaps New Orleans, or Miami or Texas, AND WERE PLAYING FOR THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP I would need to be shot to be kept from going to that game. That game would draw more viewers than anything I can think of except for MAYBE the Super Bowl.

Now....this change means a few things. Stop rankings. Stop it. They don't matter. Rankings are what we think we know, and we are often...often wrong. If you ranked teams in the NFL whats the best division?
Does it matter?

New Orleans was a defending Super Bowl champ going against a 7-9 Seahawk squad. Who won? The rankings would be so far in disproportion that we wouldn't have given the Seahawks a chance. Some said openly they shouldn't be there.

The Seahawks won

The Patriots, with The Best QB in the league at the time, perfect season, grit, will, everything on the line, against the Giants, with not the worst QB in the league but I would dare say one of the more inconsistent. The Patriots looked like a team that was unbeatable. The Giants appeared to be almost lucky to get there, having won 3 road games to get to the game, including an overtime game against Green Bay in what was the coldest game ever.

The Giants won.

We like our champions to Earn their rings. They are better for it. We are better for it.


But be careful about what you think you know. We thought...once, that Ohio State and Michigan were the two best teams in the country. EACH was undefeated. They played each other in an incredible game. Michigan lost. Ohio State won.

Should there be a rematch? No.

Only Ohio State was undefeated, and even though Michigan had 'the best loss' to Ohio State, Florida would be given the opportunity to defeat Ohio State, Michigan would play USC.

The results? Both Big Ten teams were destroyed and the prevailing wisdom was how wrong everyone must have been for putting up those teams in the first place.

That opportunity will not happen this year. That is not fair.

If the SEC is who we think they are. Let them prove it again. Earn their rings by playing a Boise State, a Wisconsin ANYONE from a different conference would be more fair.

Alabama had an opportunity to beat LSU and they failed. Would a Boise State, a Stanford, a Oklahoma State or Wisconsin win that game? I don't know. But I would take any of those games over a rematch.

Okay. So in conclusion

More money will be generated by the simple fact that there are more games and interest will spike.

You have a fair and equitable system to determine a winner.

I'd prefer a 16 team playoff system, the other bowls can still exist, (don't worry, I'm sure if people are going to the ticket city bowl now with a crappy system they'll still go with a good one)


The only thing that's stopping this would be lazyness of individuals. If you are truly content with the system, then so be it.

But it's such a flawed system that it's very existence is an affront to any logical and ethical person.

Oh and here.

BCS controversies over the years.
