The BCS is BS!!!
Hi all,

I really enjoy when college basketball has March Madness this is where some of the best college basketball teams in the nation(USA) have an opportunity to compete against each other competively and eventually have a champion,

while this strategy is not perfect, (and incorporates a bracket system), it's darn close to being objective and very unlikely to be scrutinized negatively

at the very least each year there are but a few people who will not acknowledge that the team that wins the national championship in college basketball is a TRUE CHAMPION

now for my necessary Rant:
and unfortunately in NCAA division 1 college football the way it is designed there is only a PAPER champion

like right now, on the final night of college football, after ALL the college football games have been played,

NO ONE knows which teams will get an opportunity to compete

THAT IS JUST WRONG and many people are unhappy,

and they have every right to be,

right now there is 1 team that is UNDEFEATED in the entire nation and WILL NOT play for the National Championship
FYI: this is important
(this happened last year as well as only one team(Boise State)went undefeated last year in NCAA div1 football and never got an oppotunity to compete in the national championship even though they won and likely played the greatest college football game in the history of college football)

because of the way the BCS is set up and the Political(college politics) bias of it all, good deserving teams do not get the opportunity to compete competively and decide a champion

here's how messed up this poll system is,

there are teams that are ranked 3 and 4th in the nation, and some of them won't advance in this dysfunctional poll system,

doesn't make sense does it?

I mean you would think that if the "number 1 team in the nation" loses, and the "number 2 team in the nation" loses then the 3rd and 4th teams would advance up the poll and take their place,

but not with this messed up poll system,

you would think an UNDEFEATED team would have a chance to compete for the National Championship,(as it is very difficult to go undefeated in Div 1 NCAA football) but not with this system

you would think that the teams that are likely playing the BEST right now like Oklahoma and USC, would have a chance to compete in the National Championship

but NO, instead all the BSC really gives is just BS and a PAPER champion

all other major college sports let the teams compete competively, have playoffs, and eventually a Champion

that's certainly a reasonable request, let the best college football teams in the nation(USA) have an opportunity to compete against each other competively and eventually have a champion,

but not College football,

it's sad, frustrating, biased, and especially ridiculous:

Man! I was typing too fast, and lost a rather lengthy post!


In summation.....There are those who would say that the current system makes each and every game very important. When Mich. lost to Appalachian State to begin the season, it was as if someone shot the President. It was the biggest news for weeks.

Then, one by one, all the powerhouses lost at least one game. Kansas, until last week, was perfect. Some said they had a much easier schedule. If they ran the table, should they play for the championship?


I have been disappointed in the past, with the selections too. One interesting point that I heard the other day...

When the Colts lost to NE, it wasn't as devastating as a loss in college football. We all know that the Colts will make the playoffs, and perhaps avenge that loss. Not so in college ball.



I agree with those who say that these next few (inactive) weeks should be used for some sort of tournament style system, to try and come up with a true champion.

Maybe they don't want to compete for ratings with the NFL, during their end of season race for the top.


You do have to admit that the current system makes every game extremely important, though.

I hate the BCS!

But Boise State.....ppppphhhhhttttt....don't make me laugh.

metaldeth_shredder

you give me a break DRS112,

lets be objective(something the BCS is not)

Boise STate last year deserved to have an opportunity.

last year boise state WAS one of the best teams in the nation, BAR NONE

Boise State last year had one of the highest scoring offenses in the nation, and could have scored against ANYONE last year,

let me repeat that because it's important, BOISE STATE had a VERY HIGH POWERED OFFENSE last year and could have scored against ANYONE

what they did last year is just one reason the BCS is BS

they played the Oklahoma Sooners a team that won easily the big 12 championship(last year and this year), the same oklahoma sooners team that just beat the #1 team in the nation easily and likely at the end of the season should be #2 in the nation for 2007
(and currently if you look at their roster has less talent than last year)

Boise State controlled the game for pretty much the whole game,

the so called "experts" couldn't believe it,

but there it was for everyone to see watching the Fiesta Bowl of 2007

The Boise State defensive line shut down the running game

remarkable since oklahoma had an destined NFL runningback, who now leads the NFL in rushing,

they pretty much shut Adrian Peterson down,
(Adrian Peterson who thought by playing this fiesta bowl(especially due to how well his Oklahoma Sooners had been playing) game he would "run all over these idaho farmers" and position himself in a better position for the NFL draft)

that didn't happen, instead he was pretty much nullified

remarkable because schools like Boise State don't get the opportunity to have big time players recruitment opportunities,

remarkable because their school budget was not even 1/10th of what other big time successful football schools allow to be allocated

so give me a break I can find tons of links from "experts" saying who the best team was in the nation last year and they ALL LOST, (same as what happened this year)

so why should I think this BCS BS system works? its a fact the BCS system doesn't work

argue all you want, fact is BOISE STATE was one of the BEST TEAMS IN THE NATION 2006 LAST YEAR,

Here's a link, I can find tons of other links to back up my facts,

here's the facts:
the BCS is too speculative and relies on political college bias, so let them play it out on the field

and each team should have a chance to compete competively so that we don't have another paper champion in NCAA div1 football!!!

yeah, Boise State did all of that against other crap teams, and they managed to EEK out a win against Oklahoma....Big deal, Appalachian State managed to fluke a win against Michigan too, but they're still a crap team too.

All that aside I still agree with everything you say about the BCS.

aloysious

I agree. I'm a LSU fan, and I'm not excited about them even being in the chanpionship game. Hell, I feel like the game should just be called off this year unless a real system could be had to determine a real champion.

wow Aloysious,

you are an objective person, Thank You.

many times I have found people who choose not be objective when their team is involved.

I take my hat off to you, it's a pleasure to have someone like you on this board in regards to this subject!

Long winded diatribes aside March Madness has become a thug passion breeding ground. Then again most seem to hail Sir Charles as an upstanding citizen whom is deemed worthy of children modeling themselves after.

But yeas, the BCS is BS! We need a playoff system.
