Bowl messes...

[Darkhawk24]

Looks like the Orange Bowl wanted the Miami vs Ohio State match up but the Fiesta Bowl invited Ohio State messing up their plans. So now the Orange Bowl is stuck with a rematch of FSU and Miami in witch the two teams will open next year against one another again. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=ap-fiestabowl&prov=ap&type=lgns

Now the BCS shows it's true cracks this year. I have been a mild supporter in the past. After seeing what has gone down this year I am not sure I like the system after all. USC the obvious #1 team in the nation right now will miss out on the opportunity to win the national title. Instead Oklahoma who didn't even win their divison will go to face LSU. It will be interesting to see if the BCS system can make any changes before they resign the contracts with the bowls.

not exactly. although i hate the BCS as well especially after the Nebraska fiasco 2 years ago the BCS did do its job this year. even though USC was voted by the coaches and fan polls to be #1 the BCS took the schedules of the top 3 teams and broke it down according to strength and the teams the top 3 lost too. the only way to get out of this is too have every conference hold a championship game. the ACC will have one next year but the rest of conferences need to do the same in order for the system to work properly. also, teams that continully schedule soft opponents need to schedule harder ones. teams like K-state and BYU will never get a championship birth scheduleing soft teams. the only other option is too have a playoff between the top teams.

It's from the Dan Patrick show website. They were talking about McPherson College being #1 because of the string of victories it had against teams who beat, who beat,......etc. But it turns out that they beat teams who beat teams that beat all 3 of the top seeds in the BCS......it was pretty funny.

Excerpt from page:

McPherson rules college football
Darrell Davis of Fulton, Mo., forwarded an email from his son, a student at McPherson College in Kansas, to the Dan Patrick Show that proves conclusively that the Bulldogs deserve a Sugar Bowl bid more than Oklahoma, LSU, or USC .
