This time of year brings all of us college football fans together around the proverbial campfire we call the BCS ranking system. Everyone comes out with their expert opinions and reasons why the undefeated teams are undeserving of any credit. Joe Schmo says Michigan should be number 1 because their SOS is 10 and blah, blah, blah. Tom, ####, and Harry say West Virginia has a better shot at the championship game because their schedule was supposed to be good. Peter, Paul, and Mary say Ohio State doesn’t deserve to be punished for their loss late in the season. You know it’s just not fair to lose early and have a chance to climb back up the polls, right over teams that don’t lose. Here’s an idea, Jim Bob over here thinks Florida is a top team even though they have three losses because Jim Bob said so at the beginning of the year.
All in all I feel sorry for you people who actually believe the BCS has any merit what so ever. The people who have stood to make the make the most cash off of these “amateur” athletes have got you all fooled. Don’t you see? They come up with a system called a “computer”, and a “ranking system.” As the season progresses the necessary changes are made within the system and in the computers to ensure the most financially viable match-up is the one we get for the NC game. How else would you explain Florida jumping over Michigan at the end of last season? How else would you explain any of the other ridiculous match-ups the computers have spit out since the system was introduced? These cowards at the top can then hide behind the “computer” and count the millions of dollars they rake in. Rather ingenious if you ask me. So, good luck with your rankings and all this other baloney. It’s a freaking conspiracy if you ask me.
I realize I was not the only person yesterday who was disappointed that Michigan held its spot at #2 in the BCS poll as they announced it on FOX. I've decided I will not be corrupted by a Big Ten National Championship. My disapointment has led me to one revolutionary conclusion and I am looking for support. I know asking the fans to boycott the whole BCS would be asking too much. What I am asking is that we the people join as one (literally join as millions) and boycott the National Championship game if Ohio State and Michigan meet in Glendale. I am dead serious, this is legitimate. I am going on record this morning to gather as many fans together as possible. And of course we will have to do this without the support of FOX, they are airing the game. If you would be willing to support this campaign tell all of your friends and send emails out, spread the word, we have 49 days to prepare. I am using this venue as a litmus test to see if I am going to spend my time organizing the masses. If one of the other schools gets the bid, all bets are off. I really think we can change the culture of the BCS if we can gather enough support. The BCS supercedes what happens on the field. Lets join in a crusade to take down the evil empire.
Published sports column contributor, but I'm about the 560th ranked blogger on this site. I'll keep most of my posts sports related. My sense of humor exists to amuse myself. This has happened by default because I rarely seem to amuse anyone else. I'm ashamed that my favorite professional sports teams are from the city of San Francisco.
