BCS (Bi-partisan Charisma Status?)

One of my great passions as of the past year has been college football an it makes for such an interesting debate each year who should play in the championship and all the bowl games which are the so-called post season for that system. Everyone thinks that there should be a playoff system but where would we be if not for tradition in college football. Then all this controversy over who can be in and out. I dig the arguments and as I was watching around the Horn this morning one of my favorite sports talk shows they were in heated argument about this year's championship game. Of course everyone knows that Oklahoma is a high-powered offense but they ran up the score no question to put 60 on a team that you know you can beat is not sportsmanship. However if they did not beat teams by this margin would they be where they are today? it is a good question and one I will let you ponder. Texas got shafted so did USC and Tech in my opinion. Texas has the biggest gripe because they played and beat Oklahoma on a neutral field, however they lost to Tech who also only has one loss to Oklahoma(ran up the score there as well). USC lost to Oregon state on the road but decisively it was a close game but they did lose. Texas lost int eh last second on the road witht eh famous Crabtree catch. I argue least for Tech because they are not as agood a team as Texas or USC however the only team not slated for controversy is Florida who as of a few weeks ago were not in the title game and became relevant all of a sudden. BCS is not a good system but a tradition oreiented one. If Michigan or Ohio State went undefeated in teh Big 10 even though Ohio State played USC this year(got killed) they would be in the national championship because they are two of the more storied programs in college football. Michigan for good reason being the winningest program in NCAA history. It's not fair but who should be in the titele game, and who is to say? 1 time 4 your mind...out
