The BCS is not a system designed to choose a national champion. It is a bogus system set up to hold off the inevitable, a playoff that will truly select a national championship. Until a playoff comes they must do away with the current 1-2 system.
The largest part of the selection process are human opinion polls that are used by coaches and boosters to raise up their conferences and lower their rival conferences. They are influenced by a mob mentality and the uneducated and that is the good part. The computer rankings are mostly secret, even from the BCS themselves. No one knows how they get their rankings, let alone if they are honest or influenced by money.
The fix is a playoff and even a four team formula would be a good start, but until then a single computer based system, like the QB rating, where the public could follow and keep the system honest would be preferable to a system that like Kenneth Massey’s rankings had Arizona Western, a community college, 30th overall. This happened in October of this year in one of the computer rankings.
This week is Championship Week and in the Big Twelve all eyes will be focused on Bedlam, the game between OSU and OU. In reality the once beaten OSU Cowboys have no chance at the BCS title game, even with a resounding win.
That is being taken over by LSU and Bama rematch. It doesn't even matter if LSU loses to Georgia because the mob mentality, led by ESPN who owns the television rights to the BCS game, will fight to the death to assure they get their game.
The same goes for once beaten Stanford, who's one loss was to Oregon, on the road. Yet Alabama's loss didn't matter. Nor does the fact they won't even win their conference. We have a possible set up that could have two teams in the BCS Championship Game that finished second and third in their conference. I thank the BCS, their computers, ESPN and all the idiots that will watch the game.
