Quite The Mess With The BCS
When the clock struck 0:00 at last night’s Louisville/Rutgers game, millions of people cheered. They didn’t cheer because it was a great game or because Rutgers had pulled off an upset of a high magnitude. No, they didn’t cheer for those reasons at all.
They cheered because now there will be no Big East teams in the BCS Championship Game. Something that no one wanted to happen.
A Big East team playing either Ohio St or Michigan would be overmatched. The game would be a blowout. The National Championship would be anti-climatic.
What a bunch of B-S.
The Big East is a BCS Conference. They deserve all the rewards that come with that status.
If the Pac-10 is down and USC goes undefeated, they are still awarded with their undefeated season by playing in the BCS Championship Game. The same should go for a Big East school.
Before last night everyone was all set to put Louisville in the BCS Title game. They were undefeated, they beat West Virginia last week, so that made them the 3rd best team in the land.
Now, why can’t Rutgers, who beat that Louisville team, and is still undefeated, not be rewarded for their remarkable season with the opportunity to play for the title.
The whole thing doesn’t make sense to me. But then again, the BCS very rarely makes any sense.
Proponents for the BCS argue that college football does not need a playoff system because the whole season is a playoff. What a bunch of garbage. If that were true, then only 4 teams would remain in the hunt for the BCS Title: Ohio State, Michigan, Boise State and Rutgers.
Instead only 2 of those teams (Ohio St and Michigan) have a shot at even playing for the national championship, let alone winning it.
This is why the BCS sucks and it needs to be thrown away faster than Britney is throwing away K-Fed.
Greedy presidents and schools are prolonging the ineptitude that is the way the college football champion is decided. It is a method that makes casual fans like myself hate the game all together.
How can we take a game seriously when it is run by a bunch of morons?
Some argue that a playoff in college football would belittle the entire season, but that statement is completely untrue.
March Madness is the greatest time of the year for college basketball. It doesn’t take away from that season.
For college football December Madness could be just as exciting.
Too bad we’ll never see it.
