Gutter Ball

Lets go bowling and grab your orange ball. It is time for the BCS and the NCAA National Football Champion to be crowned. The system the BCS uses to determine a bonafied national champion is broken. Ok maybe this year the BCS got lucky. They can rest easy with the number 1 team playing the number 2 team. It looks like the USC-TEXAS game is gift wrapped with a big red holiday bow and the winner will be presented as the genuine national champion. This year there can't be any complaints, controversy or wondering why we can put a man on the moon but we can't figure out how to divvy up the bowl goodies. Just plain luck, that's all I've got to say. The BCS will bowl a gutter ball once again next year.
This is the only sport on the planet where the national championship is not strictly decided on the field. For years the BCS has been the equivalent of getting to the final four, playing the semis and instead of playing the title game, turning to the writers and computers and saying OK you watched the games, you have all the stats, who do you think the best team is? What the teams actually did on the field does not count.
College football at it's highest level is a miltibillion dollar industry, it will never have to answer to the fans. No system will ever be perfect but there is a better way. We need what we've always needed, a play off.
I hope all the negative talk does not rain on your Rose Bowl parade. At least number 1 plays number 2 and both are unbeaten. That has not happened in a long time. How could anybody throw darts at those who run the NCAA cartel? Game of the century, I don't think so! Does it really matter? NO! I just hope the Texas Longhorns remembered to bring their orange umbrellas because there is a real good chance it will rain on their Rose Bowl parade.
