The BCS stands for "Bowl of Corporate Shit"

For years now we have had to endure this outrageous scam from the BCS that is supposed to put the top 2 teams together for the National Championship. I think they have got it right a couple of times, but for the most part they have failed miserably. There are great college football programs that go undefeated and and still don't get to play for the championship. This year, their are 5 undefeated teams and only two of them get to compete for the title. That whole bunch of garbage that says the regular season is a playoff is crazy. This is the most popular and profitable college sport and yet it is the only major college sport that doesn't have a playoff system. I do send out my congrats to Texas and Alabama, but Boise State, Cincinatti, and TCU also need a chance to prove they are the best. What does the BCS do to solve this? They make Boise State and TCU replay last year's Poinsetta Bowl at the Fiesta Bowl. Aren't they suppose to pair them up with a powerhouse like Florida or another top 10 team from a major conference to prove their relevancy. They did a couple of years ago when Boise State beat Oklahoma. I guess that was to much for them and made them realize their system is flawed. Cincy went undefeated andwon the BIG East and are still left out of the championship game. The same went for Auburn's undefeated season a few years back. I found an article that says it all and I can't wait for the author's book to come out. It will detail all of the big business and lobbying that the BCS has for their system. Here is a link to that article http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=dw-ncaafplayoff120709&prov=yhoo&type=lgns. This article also shows how easy it would be to have a playoff system and still have bowl games. Read it and see what you think.
