BCS Appreciation Day
« Julie Denton's Son Killed In Car Crash | Main | Brother Can You Spare A Dime »
Last Saturday turned into BCS appreciation day as all of the possible results that would make the BCS look good happened. Oregeon St lost, Florida won, and Oklahoma won. Ugh!
We are left with only one more scenario that would make the BCS look bad. Florida and Oklahoma win their conference championship games and Texas finishes ahead of Florida in the BCS rankings. A result which would mean an OU/Texas rematch in the championship game. I have to believe that would make the BCS look stupid. Not only would a team who didn't "win" their conference make the championship game, the winner of the SEC would be snubbed. Especially since BCS proponents are talking about the SEC championship game as a "semi-final" game.
The BCS is assinine. It has no logical reason for being. My favorite argument for the BCS is that every week during the season is a playoff. If that is true, how come Florida wasn't eliminated after they lost to Mississippi? How come Oklahoma wasn't eliminated when they lost to Texas? How come Texas wasn't eliminated after they lost to Texas Tech? Who eliminated Utah, Boise State, and Ball State? No the BCS is some crappy concoction to keep bowl games and make money for the schools. Oh yeah and to annoint the MNC (Mythical National Champion).
