College Football: Bowls

The BCS was brought in so the 2 human polls were not the final descion makers. THe first year it was obvious that they didn't want the choice to be the hands of the humans alone.

As for the readjustments, with so many people compl,aining they had to readjust to make the happy. IT was not because the BCS failed in their eyes. If you listen to the BCS people they believe that it has worked.

Dave, congrats on the Pelini hire. If he can avoid an on the field meltdown (he is a VERY emotional type A personality) he should do well for the Orange. He is one of the better defensive minds in the country & his Youngstown connections are going to do wonders for recruiting.

BTW has anyone noticed that Weis has put together quite a staff for the Irish? Cutcliffe at OC, Rick Minter at DC & Bill Lewis as assistant head coach. That is a pretty impressive group.

When Miami trashed a Nebraska team that lost the Big 12 title game, while consensus #2 Oregon made Colorado look silly, the BCS failed, and the comissioners knew it. Anything they said otherwise was spin. When USC was left out of the BCS title game last year and beat Michigan handily, while Oklahoma backed into the BCS title and lost ugly, the BCS failed, the comissioners knew it, and anything they said otherwise was spin.

The "readjustments" they made put greater emphasis on the human polls they were trying to demphasize in the first place. How do you fix something by trying to fix it with what was supposed to be broken?

Well, #1 vs #2 didn't live up to the hype. Doesn't feel very suprising. Big let down in my opinion. Well, see you guys next year!


GO BUCKS!!!!!!!!

There's a bigger issue than the BCS that needs to be addressed during the off-season.

The NCAA should pass a regulation prohibiting coaches from pimping their teams to the press for votes on the polls. Listening to Mack Brown and Tommy Tuberville plead and whine made me ill. Man up and shut up, you babies.

Can't be worse than pimping your players to be candidates for the Heisman.

THis is nothing new to the college football. You don't think the coaches of the teams from old did thei when they and another team both finished undefeated, didn't play each other, and it was up to the polls to choice who was number one?
