College Football

What's funny about college football right now is that half of the press it gets is about how badly the BCS works. And now that the Associated Press has [url=http://proxy.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/story?columnist=gilmore_rod&id=1951552] called for a cease and desist [/url] of the BCS using AP standings in the ranking (which were always less biased than the ESPN/coaches poll), it seems the NCAA will get more free publicity for years to come. This year 2 undefeated Div 1-A (not AA) teams, Utah and Boise State, will not be in the Championship tournament, and Texas which lost a game, will be as the #4 seed. "Well what about mutual opponents?" you ask. OK, Utah beat Texas A&M handily by 20 points (they were up 27-0). Texas beat A&M by 13, but A&M was up 13-6 at halftime. Huh? I have said it before, I will say it again: If you refuse to do a tournament of 16 teams or even 8 teams, so all of the undefeated teams get a chance to win "The National Championship," then don't do it. Give me a Rose Bowl Champ, an Orange Bowl Champ, a Fiesta Bowl Champ, and that's it. Stop the Season. Then maybe I'll care about it....
