The BCS Needs To DIE!
Ah, the Bowl Championship Series… Everyone loves it, there is nothing like waking up come bowl time and finding out how fucked your team got by the “Beyond Common Sense” system. Does ANYONE actually want the BCS to stay, besides the BCS? I mean what better way to determine sports championships then by having nerdy computer guys using programs to analyze stats that determine a National Championship…Right…? For me personally, I like college football more then college basketball, even though I love both. But when it comes to the championships, college basketball wins by miles! I can’t even tell you how many bullshit BCS bowl games I didn’t even bother to watch this year, but you can bet your life I won’t miss one minute of march madness!
This got me to thinking, who are the teams that got MOST fucked over by the bullshit BCS system….
5. 2004 California Loses Rose Bowl Bid - At the end of the season California was 10-1 and ahead of Texas, also 10-1, at the end of the year and all lined out for their Rose Bowl invitation. That invitation never came. Mack Brown, coach of Texas, had launched the most disgusting cry baby campaign and successfully begged his way into the Rose Bowl. The Associated Press was so disgusted with his ploy that they refused to be associated with the BCS anymore.
4. 2006 Wisconsin is the Odd Man Out - As a Wisconsin fan, this one makes my fingers shake in angers as I even write about this now. If you don’t remember in 2006 the Badgers were 11-1 in what was arguably the best conference that year. With the BCS’s only 2 teams from each conference rule, Wisconsin was the odd man out. Ohio State, Michigan and Wisconsin all had more then amazing years and yet Wisconsin played in a second teir bullshit bull game, while the powder puff Notre Dame team went on to a BCS Bowl game.
3. 2007 Georgia Finishes 2nd, Doesn’t Play a BCS Game - In 2007 Ohio State went to the National Championship… Does anyone remember how? Well they were sitting at the #5 spot but after proving their National Championship worthiness by losing to LSU, they jumped from #5 to National Championship, while Georgia (second in final rankings), didn’t even play in a BCS game… That is how good the BCS worked that year!
2. 2001 Colorado Gets Jumped - In 2001 Nebraska went to the National Championship even though they lost their own conference. Colorado defeated Nebraska for the Big 12 chip was surpassed by the #4 Huskers who got a thumping in the National Championship by Miami.
1. 2000 Washington AND Miami - Yes folks, in the year 2000 not ONE but TWO teams got fucked in the ass with no lube by the BCS. Oklahoma was the clear favorite this year with an undefeated historic year. But who would they play? Well Miami was ranked #2 in the country and beat Florida State earlier that year, and losing to Washington. Washington lost one to a 10-2 Oregon… Surely one of these two teams would get the bid… but what happened? Florida State, who lost to the Miami team, who lost to Washington, got the bid. Of course they got a beat down by the Sooners in the championship in yet another bullshit National Championship.

Money making scheme……BCS = Backwoods Communist System
Everyone loves to talk shit about the BCS and personally I hate the GD thing, but playoffs would bring in very little money and there would always, always be a huge debate about what teams should get in and which ones shouldnt… there are always going to be snubs in college championship systems…
Commericals during the NCAA Mens Football Playoffs would be MUCH more valuable so they could make money there. Also The schools don’t need more money i mean my God they dont even have to pay the players lol
I say we take a captain off each of the top 5 schools in the country and settle the score with a no holds barred game of 500. Possible candidates to quarterback the game: Kordell Stewart. Doug Flutie.
@ Respect This Hustle - makes about as much sense as the BCS…
ps - my vote is for Slash
“makes about as much sense as the BCS…” LOL
we might as well put the teams in a hat and pick
“and the winner of the national championship is…. James Madison”
BULL SHIT - YOU PEAKED!!
1,2,3,4….I declare a thumb war
secret finger trap! I win!
Death to the BCS!
or we could do it roulette style and put all the teams on a wheel and let the magic ball fall where it will
Let’s be honest…..there is only one real way to settle this: Leg wrestling followed by climbing a baseball field backstop fence, first one to the top brings home the trophy
Well might as well give me the trophy now then… Back on a serious note, the Mountain West proposed an actual playoff system yesterday… http://www.themwc.com/ot/mwc-09-proposal.html
Yeah because the Moutain West Conference has a lot of pull in the NCAA…..
they are getting two teams into the tourney this, movin on up!!!
