The BCS Sucks!!!!!
« on: December 05, 2004, 07:12:38 PM »
Not just because Auburn didn't get a shot at the title...however someone will have them ranked #1 should they beat Virginia Tech in the Sugar bowl. It sucks because a weak bellybutton Texas team got into the Rose Bowl because Mack Brown whined enough and politicized the whole package and case for Texas to get into the BCS when it wasn't deserved. California deserved a shot at the Rose and they got SCREWED!!!!!!!

They should just shorten BCS to BS.

I'm sorry.  But to require these students to have a true playoff and decide the champion on the field would be far too damaging to their academic future.  We must remember that they are student-atheletes.  And the history of the bowls are too precious to just throw away just to appease some fans by letting them know if Texas or Auburn or some other school is really the best.  As if a one and done-type of playoff can really determine who is the best.  It's far better to let sports writer and computers make these decisions.





















I'm kidding btw.

Who would rank them #1, especially after USC beats the crap out of Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl?   Auburn might be a decent team but they are in no way as good as USC.  Nor is Oklahoma for that matter.

HA!
Just HA!, how can you expect to beat aurburn, if you struggle against UCLA, let standford roll over you in the first half, and have a close game against OSU?  You are seriously kidding yourself there.  OU going to spank you in the orange bowl.  Im going to watch White, and Peterson eat you guys, and watch bushwhack and linart get eaten.

If USC plays like they did in their conference championship and OU plays like they did in their conference championship.  Bye bye USC.  If we played like we did last year.. beh.. oh well I'm used to feeling shafted.

My bet is on OU beating USC like the pretenders they are....seriously it will be a good game and would have been a good game no matter who ended up in the "championship" game. As for who will have Auburn ranked #1...I am sure that they will be able to claim some no name championship like some of the ones that many universities claim.

My prediction is Auburn beat Virginia Tech in a good game that gets wild at the end one 35-17 and USC looses by 10 to OU 34-24. Oh and as a sidebar my team UAB gets their doors blown off 55-20 by Hawaii and we end up firing the head coach and AD the day after christmas.

Why not just have a mini playoff of the top four ranked BCS teams?

Have 1 play 4 and 2 play 3 during the regular bowl time then add another week and another bowl game to have the winners of the above games play for the undisputed national championship. That way tyhe top 4 teams get a fair shot at a national championship and only 1 week is added to the post season....

I really want USC to win because of that BS last year but I have my concerns...

I don't disagree, Texas has no business being in the Rose Bowl.

Bah, there will never be a system that establishes conclusively the "best" college team. Part of college football is to argue controversy and insult, and insist that your team from god-knows-when was the best.

The BCS system as such is BS; much better to do away with it and go back to old-fashioned bowl games that mean even less.

A championship? That's just the road to reduced revenue and more controversy.
Besides, these bowl games in sunny parts of the country unfairly favor the wussy aerial attack and west-coast BS of SEC teams.  Promise me the NCAA national championship will be decided new years day on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field, and you've got a deal.

Texas belongs in the Rose bowl, and they will win the Rose bowl.... the only reason Cal was ranked ahead of Texas is because the only team they lost to was #1 USC, and TX lost to #2 OU... but we will see in the Orange bowl that OU ( and I hate to say this ) is the best team in the nation right now.

Don't get me wrong tho, I think the BCS is screwed! I think the top 8 teams should be in the BCS bowls no matter what.

There is no PAC-10 conference championship game.  USC usually plays UCLA last during the regular schedule.

Auburn had to fight uphill, USC and OU were #1 and #2 starting this year, based partially on their performance from last year, when USC beat Auburn at home.
