Tradition

Ah...Saturday. A day to get in the house, click on the tube, and watch almost grown men beat the shit out of each other wrestling over a brown leather oblong ball.

In other words...SATURDAY IS FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!!!!

Now, my No 2 ranked (in every poll) Texas Longhorns aren't playing today. I can see your tears. I will miss seeing them kick some ass, but look on the bright side.

One more week to prepare for the party when they beat the shit outta Texas A&M NEXT weekend.

The Longhorns have been rooted in the Number 2 spot all season, aside from a one week freak when they were Number 1 in the BCS.

While I'm on the subject, why does a computer decide who plays for it all?

The BCS started a couple years back to end the debate on who should be in the National Title Game. And every year since, its been controversy after controversy. When will they decide to put in a playoff system? Its quite simple, I'll explain it to you.

There are 12 Conferences in the NCAA Division I:

Big 12
Big 10
SEC
ACC
Big East
CUSA
PAC 10
Mountain West
Independent
WAC
MAC
Sun Belt

Now, you set up a simple bracket system, with the top 2 ranked teams on both sides of the country with a bye week, with the Conference Champions only making the cut. Break it up into East and West.

Or, nobody gets a bye week, and the 4 second place teams with the highest rankings making the cut (kinda like the wild card in baseball).

While these are going on, the other teams get their bowl games played. As other teams get eliminated, they play their bowl games. The Championship Game is played with one of the top 5 bowls (Orange, Rose, Fiesta, Cotton, Sugar). The others are played with the losers that make it the farthest.

And there you have it. A Championship without the Polls getting in the way, especially the BCS nightmare.
