The BCS should just take the C out and be BS. This is the worst system that has ever been made. Before this system we just had people vote for the winners through the AP. That is not the best way either but either is the BCS. This really bad system is leaving out the Mid Major conferences who have proven they can compete with the big boys. We saw Boise to this against Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl and when they beat Oregon this past season. Utah has proven this twice and TCU as well has proven they can compete. We have had seasons end with 2 undefeated teams. There is no other sport that has more than one undefeated team left at the end of the year.
A few years ago we saw a team from the SEC get left out of the National Title game. That was Auburn, they got to see USC and Oklahoma play. Utah twice has been undefeated and Boise once I believe. Why is it so hard to get a playoff in college football? I know .. I know…. THE MONEY issue schools want their money. GARBAGE! A playoff eliminates so much confusion and a 8 or 16 team playoff would be great. This for sure would come into play this season. What would have happen if Texas would have lost to Nebraska? We would have a problem folks, a mix up in the BCS.
As for people saying the Mid Majors need to play someone, I say well the big schools do not want to play them. They much rather play 1AA schools and play the Citidal, Chattanooga, or Alabama State. Why would they want to risk their undefeated seasons against a Boise, Utah or TCU. As for this years Fiesta Bowl, we have a problem. The BCS made sure Boise and TCU would play each other so there would be one less team at the end of the year. They also did not want the top dog like Florida to have the chance to lose to TCU. I would bet $10 TCU would be Florida and Boise would beat Georgia Tech.
It seams not matter the situation the BCS will get what they want.
I love the BCS, it always seems to give us something to talk about. I also wrote a blog about this same topic and we have different views. I believe the BCS finally did it right and put the two best undefeated teams in the championship game. As you mentioned what other sport has so many undefeated teams at the end of the year, what other sport plays less then 20 games? Although going undefeated is hard, it is easiest in a college football season compared to a baseball or basketball season. Football is played one day a week whereas baseball, basketball, and hockey is played multiple times a week therefore having more games each season. You also said the Mid Major conferences don't have a shot at a championship because of their schedules. But THIS years champion should be determined by what they did THIS year. For example, Boise beat Oregon the first game of the season who is going to the Rose Bowl this year, but their next closest games were against Louisiana Tech and Nevada...WHO?!? And as for TCU and Cincy, the only ranked games they won were against South Florida, West Virginia, Pitt (Cincy) and BYU, and Utah (TCU). With all this said, Texas and Bama deserve the title game.
ReplyDeleteYes Texas or Alabama will be a "National Champion" but we will still have two undefeated teams... I believe there is no reason to ever have two undefeated teams. As for your comment about weak schedules... The big time schools do not want to play teams like Boise and Cinci in the non conference. They do not want to lose in the first few weeks of the season. The BCS is all about MONEYYYYYYYYYY! I am so glad that congress will maybe vote on this. YOU CANNOT END THE SEASON WILL MORE THAN ONE UNDEFEATED TEAM.
ReplyDeleteI believe the BCS is a huge travesty. Enough said!
