My Fun & Fascinating Fact of the Game: BCS Championship

Posted by Stiletto Jen 95 views

The fun, fascinating and downright weird fact of the game:

I knew this whole BCS system would come back and bite someone in the tushy sooner or later. The BCS Championship game teams are handpicked according to stats and rankings that are interpreted by a panel. What have I said about stats? They just muddle things up! Even in college basketball the rankings can be highly disputed but at least the teams all fight it out for the playoff game.

In college football, the panel says “hmmm, we think Florida and Oklahoma are the two best teams this year.” And then Florida and Oklahoma get to be in the big game.

And I’m sure Florida and Oklahoma were thrilled. Utah, USC and Texas, however, were not. All three of them believe they were the #1 team this season and should have had their chance to prove it in the championship game. Personally I think they are all a bunch of whinners (whinners not winners). Except maybe Utah because they were undefeated unlike the teams that were in the championship game.

I think I heard on the radio tonight that Utah is considering sueing over this. First, who on earth would you even sue? The entire BCS selection committee? Or all of Gator Nation that totally disagrees and thinks they are justifiably #1. And second, are you serious? Get over it you freaking crybabies.

Next you are going to see Phil Jackson, Kobe and the Lakers sueing the Celtics because they had six games to beat them and didn’t.

Oooh actually, I’d like the Rays to sue the Phillies. Blame them for the whole rain delay thing and say they really should be the World Series Champs!
