BCS Problems

Everybody knows the BCS is screwed up, that's nothing new to anyone. But does anyone see it for what it really is? I'll explain:


Texas has a VERY valid argument. They should have been in the Big 12 title game, and ultimately the national championship game. Look at it this way: OU beat Texas Tech in Norman. Texas Tech beat Texas in Lubbock. Texas beat OU on a neutral site. Home field advantage is HUGE in college football these days, especially when you play in the Big 12 South. Stadiums that hold 70,000 or more are loud, hostile, and just plain intimidating when they're 90% opposing fans. The OU-Texas game in Dallas was split straight down the middle, and if you watched the game you know what I mean. The stadium was almost exactly half red, half orange. If you want a true champion next year, play all 3 of those games on neutral sites. You'll find out who is truly the best in that division.


The Alabama vs. Utah matchup is intriguing. Utah went undefeated in the MWC and is ranked 6 in the latest BCS poll. If Utah can pull out a win against a pissed off Alabama team, there's the biggest argument of all time for a playoff system. If it happens that Utah wins, how would you know that Utah couldn't beat OU, UF, Texas, USC, or any of the other "major" schools? You wouldn't. If you had a playoff system, even if Utah lost, at least you'd know that you got it right and truly had the best team in the country.


Ohio State has got to be paying someone off. They do NOT deserve to be in the Fiesta bowl AT ALL. They had to hope for Iowa to beat Penn State to just share the Big 10 title. Why couldn't Boise State- a team that went undefeated in the regular season, and beat OU in the Fiesta bowl 2 years ago- replace Ohio State? Another dropped ball by the BCS system.


DOH! Well, after this article, it should be obvious who gets this article's award. the BCS comissioners. Your system sucks. Get rid of it so everyone will be happy. Noone gets upset when the other sports crown their champions.
