Beef with the BCS

Rich DeVita

So I have been thinking about the current BCS system. I have never liked it and after hearing Chris Berman interview Obama at the halftime of Monday Night Football last week, it seems that everyone has an opinion on this. It is a great water cooler discussion but it seems like a playoff is light years away. Here is something to think about. 

Should Penn State be jumped by a Texas Tech team after Tech beat #1 Texas? At first I thought to myself "of course they should! They just bet the #1 team in the country and have not lost this year. " But then I thought more about it. Penn State has won every game so far this season by 2 touchdowns or more. Should they be punished because they had an off week? This has been discussed all week on ESPN and other media outlets. I was wondering what everyone out there thinks. Is it just me or was anyone else surprised when they saw the current rankings this past week?

 

Another topic of discussion that has come up is the National Championship. Should a one loss team from conferences such as the SEC or the Big 12 get the nod instead of an undefeated Big 10 school? You can only play who is on your schedule. Has Ohio State's past failures hurt chances for other teams in their conference?

The computers also get on my nerves sometimes. I believe that voters should have the final say in the polls. If a good portion of sports writers vote a team #2 yet the computers have them at #4 because of strength of schedule and average win margin then the team can end up number 3 and possibly miss out on accomplishing the ultimate goal of winning a championship.

For once in my life I agree with President-elect Barack Obama. We need an 8 team playoff system in college football. Forget this voting nonsense. Have the top 8 teams at the end of the year put into a bracket and have the national champion be decided on the gridiron, just like it should be. We would probably have some of the most intriguing games in recent history. 

Reactions? Comments and opinions? Let me know.

Luck number 13

This will be short. So I was in the bar last night and caught the 2nd and 3rd Periods of the Vancouver and Anaheim game, and I must say that it ranks as maybe the best game I've seen this year as far as offense. Going into the second, the Ducks had a 2-1 lead. I go get another beer, look back and its 3-2 Canucks, in about 2 minutes, they scored twice. Next two minutes, its 2-2, and then Vancouver goes on a Blitz, scoring three times in a little over 2 minutes. Games over right? NO, Anaheim comes back and scores three times in the next 5 minutes to tie it up at 5 all. Third Period, and the Canucks go up by one with about 9 minutes left. Anaheim keeps pushing and with 52 seconds ties it up again. OT and nothing so we go to the shoot out. 13 rounds it goes, 13 ROUNDS! Vancuver finally scores the last shot in the 13th round, what could be better than to win a game on Halloween in the 13th round?
