OK, another year, another mindless conclusion to the NCAA football season.  This is the breakdown for the playoffs starting next week:

Just to make it a little clearer, that’s the power ranking of the two teams playing in that particular bowl.  For instance, in the R&L Carriers Bowl, the #74 rated team in the country will face off against the #67 rated team in the country.  I hear Obama has been notified not to preempt this game regardless of nuclear war or a John Cusack induced shifting of Earth’s poles.  Once the the winner of the #74 vs #67 wins this game, it’s over.  One team will have the bragging rights to claim they are the #67 best team in the country.  They’ll get a little tiny statue with R&L Carriers stamped on it.  Their grandchildren will be awed.

In the meantime, Boise State will most likely go undefeated.  Cincinnati and TCU have a shot as well.  Cincinnati will be facing a pissed off Tim Tebow, so I got my money on Florida.  But, regardless of what happens, Boise State, Cincinnati, and TCU will not be allowed to be #1. Alabama and Texas have been anointed to challenge each other to be the National Champion.  No one else is allowed.

Yet another, yet another probably controversy.  And, most definitely another year where several teams could have made a claim of being the best in the country.

BCS is BS.  No one will ever watch Southern Miss and Middle Tennessee State battle it out for 67th place.  Just trust me on that network peeps.

They would however, if it meant something the following week.  A playoff system would make the networks, and schools, millions of bucks.  Corporate bowls that draw hundreds of fans will suddenly draw tens of thousands because it will mean something.  Rather than an entire nation basically waiting for one single game, the entire nation will watch bunches of games to see who’s gonna make it or not.

It just makes too much sense.  What also makes sense to me is the NCAA selection committee won’t let go of it because they have a God complex.  So, following that line of thought, it the NCAA won’t do what’s best for college sports, then the NCAA must go.

Or, give me a damn playoff.
