there's a special place in hell for those who came up with the BCS


so the BCS is ten and every body's jacking off about how much better things are, flawed system or not, blah fucking blah. i love how all the writers at ESPN have been screaming for a playoff and then write these glowing pieces on how much better thing are since the BSC has arrived...granted i guess it's better that we have a match up of fictional number one vs. number twos than a bunch of random bowl match ups and then leave it up to the sportswriters (we all know how fair and objective they can be)...but still in the ten years since the BCS was invented how many times have they actually gotten in right? as far as i can tell just twice. in 2005 with Texas and USC and in 2002 with Ohio State and Miami. other than that it's been clusterfuck after glorious clusterfuck. 2004 Auburn being shutout and Oklahoma being beaten like a red headed step child by USC. Nebraska getting into the title game after getting blown out by Colorado and not winning the Big 12 and then getting murdered by Miami. Oklahoma getting blown out by Kansas State in the Big 12 title game and still getting into the BCS championship game which resulted in the number 1 team in the country, USC, being shut out of the title game?!?! fail. fail. fail. fail. and let's not even get into the poor bowl matchups we've gotten the last few years (which really is more about the Bowls picking bad games instead of the BCS screwing things up). all in all 10 years is enough time for us all to know that this shit is broke and you can't use the greatest college football game of all time (USC vs. Texas in the Rose Bowl) as your argument for keeping such a horribly flawed and fucked up system that rewards preseason poll position and soft schedules (hello Ohio State) instead of matching up the best teams in college football. whatever, fuck it. shit is never gonna change. might as well stop bitching about it.
