BCS has got to go

I'm really not sure how to feel about this current BSC Poll. I mean I understand how the computer picks the teams and the rankings, but I just can't support it. I guess because I'm a Pac 10 guy I should be happy that we've got 4 teams in the top 25. But 3 of the computers don't even have USC ranked. Oh well... maybe this will be the last year of the mighty "BCS" I'm quite tired of allowing a computer decide who is the best team in the country. Let the game play out as it should... By the teams who deserve to be there. Every division (except the Pac 10 & Big 10) has a conference championship game and it should stay that way. The Big 10 and Pac 10 have their own way of deciding who's the champ. As for every other conference, let them send their champions to a playoff. And since we've seen it done with Division 2 & 3, we all know it can happen.

I think its well overdue. Since the BCS came in to play we've not only been spoiled by the historical schools continued dominace, we've let a computer dictate to us who we will watch on the final collegate bowl of the season. . No one would have expected last years Fiesta Bowl between Oklahoma and Boisie State to be as good of a game as we saw. And maybe if the teams had a playoff system in play, we've might have seen a much better National Championship Game out of better matched teams. Don't think that just because a team goes undefeated they deserve to play in the National Championship Game. But they have earned the chance to play for one against other schools who have qualified. We're used to crowning "World Champions", Baseball, Basketball and other sports. I've always asked myself how can we crown a NFL Team "World Champion" when we really only play Pro Football in the US. Same can be said about the other sports as well. But since we have a chance to crown the National Champion... we should make sure that we've elimniated all other challengers on the way to being Number 1.
