The BCS is a terrible system of determining a champion. Under their logic, Germany won WWII. Just look at the strength of their opponents and all of those quality wins, several on the road. The BCS also tells us Virginia Tech is better than Clemson, even though they played two times, once at Virginia Tech, [...]

Well I started to watch last night’s BCS title game. But I stopped. I found The Bachelor to be far more entertaining than the “big boy” football I was being subjected to. Although based on the Twitter explosion after the game it wasn’t hard to know who won, or what the implications were. There was [...]

Sorry it has been so long since the last post. Being the offseason and all there isn’t much going on. But today there was an article on ESPN about the NCAA President’s support of a playoff that needs mentioning. Oddly he only supports a 4 team playoff instead of 16 or 20 like is done [...]

It’s that time of year again, the time when one season ends and all the hype starts to build for the next season.

It is going to look at five different variables, rank teams accordingly, then take your average ranking to give you an overall rating. So based on how you rank in the five categories, that’s where you [...]

People turn on their station when they are showing something people want to see. So ESPN wants to show what most people want [...]

Everyone knows the BCS bigwigs are getting together and discussing the future of the BCS. Several topics will be on the table, such as bowl selection, automatic qualifiers and the plus one model. A plus one would be a good start, but 8 teams would be ideal. Still, if a plus one playoff is possible, [...]

Well now that the 2011 season is in the books it is time to look ahead to the 2012 season. Wait, what? There’s still more games? Oh, because I was under the impression LSU had already played Alabama and beat them so…you know, didn’t think those two playing each other again was worth mentioning. And [...]

Well, we’ve gone through 31 of the 35 bowls. Thankfully, the ACC isn’t in any more of them, so I might be able to get the outcome of one correct. Given the way the last several games have gone, however, I doubt it… Let me be frank here, however: These bowls only serve to irritate [...]
