We're taking bets that BCS stands for Big Crappy System...

Even if you are not a College football fan you can appreciate the craziness that is the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) this year. There are 5 teams that are undefeated this year in College Football. Only two teams get to play for the "National Championship" and the others get relegated to another BCS bowl. Or in Boise State's case the Liberty Bowl against Louisville which might be the best team in the country, but played one average game against Miami and lost.

Now I have probably lost a bunch of you already so let me put this in terms that you can understand. It is kind of like if the top two singers of American Idol get voted off early because white America wants the Hawaiian chick to win. Oh wait that happened. It is more like the TV Producers of Friends could only keep two of the Friends including Gunther, Mr. & Mrs. Geller and Phoebe's husband. They decide to use a TV critics poll, 6 obscure internet sites that decide who the best characters are based on clothing and hairstyles. Even though Gunther is one of the true gems of the show you know that he has no shot. Everyone knows it is probably going to be Ross and Rachel, but so many people think that Joey had a great couple of seasons. Everyone just wishes that they all could get a chance in some sort of playoff system where maybe the audience votes or something. This is what College Football Fans are dealing with this year. Could you even imagine if this happen in TV Land?

The undefeated teams are USC, Oklahoma, Auburn, Utah and Boise State. Utah and Boise State don't matter because they are not one of the precious BCS Conferences so they are going to get the shaft no matter what. The BCS has even gone on record as saying that they would not even consider putting Utah against Auburn if they both remain undefeated. That would be like saying that CSI couldn't go on the air Thursday nights because ER is going to beat it. Looking back that would have been a huge mistake.

The reason we don't have a playoff is because the college presidents of the major football schools say it would be too tough for kids with finals. Funny thing is that Division 1-AA, Division 2 and Division 3 football all have a playoff system that is completed before Christmas. Last I checked if schools who actually make education important can do that so can Division 1-A. The sad thing is that everything is about money and the Big Conferences are not going to give that up and let the little guys get some play. It is always about money.

So this upcoming football weekend I am praying for 3 things to happen. USC plays UCLA, Oklahoma plays Colorado, and Auburn plays Tennessee. I hope each of these teams lose and the BCS is forced to play Utah vs. Boise State for the National Championship. Oh wait that can't happen because California and Texas are both ahead of Utah in the BCS rankings and they would play for the title. UGH!!!
