A Great Day in College Football.....Well Maybe

Yesterday I sat in front of the TV, remote in hand, and watched college football all day as usual. "Championship Saturday" lived up to the hype. Almost every game was exciting and close. I even stayed up until 12:30 am and watched the Hawaii vs Oregon State game. By the time it started however, I was already tired from all the excitement of the day.

Of course I am talking about my beloved Florida Gators beating Arkansas for the SEC championship while USC got beat by UCLA, opening the door for the Gators to play Ohio State in the national chamionship game..........or will they?

I have already posted about the BCS in my blog and what a bunch of money hungry crap that is. You can read about it HERE if you like, so I won't go into why it sucks or how to fix it.

However, again this year it has failed miserably and there is no clear number 2 team out there and now the voters must decide who plays OSU. It's between Michigan and Florida.

NCAA 1A college football is the only sport professionally or collegiate that doesn't have a playoff system, and without it, there is never a true champion. It is the biggest fallacy in sports. Money and greed are still more important than sportsmanship and letting the top teams decide their fate on the field. Shame on the NCAA and the university presidents for continuing to allow this to happen.

With the current and hosed up system, here is why Florida should go to the national championship game over Michigan. Numbers wise, there really is no choice.

Florida ----------------------------------- Michigan
12-1 --------------Record---------------- 11-1
4 ------Beat # of current top 25 teams----- 2
Yes --------conference champion---------- No
#1 -------schedule difficulty rank--------- #3


Take these into consideration as well: Florida is in the SEC, the consensus most difficult league to play in. Michigan already lost to OSU in the last game of the year for both teams and they are in the same conference.

Today at 8 pm EST, the bowl selection special will air on ESPN and we'll find out if at least the most deserving team, Florida, will play for the national chamionship or not.

The BCS SUCKS, either way.
