The BCS amazes...

Hello,

... with it's stupidity.

In the 11/15/10 SI I referred to yesterday, there are several points that points out to why the BCS has to go away. Of several points I could pick many. Here are two that show the lameness of the BCS.

1) BCS executive director Bill Hancock says "We believe the bowl system wouldn't survive a playoff". (Thanks to SI.) That's stupid, who cares if the bowl system survives? If it can't sustain itself, what does that tell you about it's viability? Also if it's so crucial to save the bowls, just implement them into the playoff system. For instance, the Orange Bowl National Semi-Final Game. Not only does college football do well with a playoff system, it soars. NCAA: there's a reason why March Madness is one of the biggest sporting events each year. The same could be said for college football, the current system waters down what would be just as great as March Madness.

2) In that same issue of SI: "The NCAA crowns 88 champions in 23 sports. The only champion it does not crown is Division 1-A football". Isn't that interesting. What does it say about the NCAA that it lets the self-serving BCS block a playoff system? And the NCAA is the organization that polices the schools for inappropriate recruiting and myriad other offenses. Of course, the NCAA is the same organization that said Cam Newton was allowed to play in the National Championship Game. Sure his Dad offered him up for money, but Cam didn't know about it. wink, wink. That college football is still is so magnificent is amazing.

This is what I'd like to see happen to the BCS, and dedicate the following song to the BCS:



Right now they are the crushers, of ethics, common sense and fairness.

I'm sorry for writing about the BCS so much, but that something so blatantly greedy and nasty goes on in a system of higher learning irritates me.
