Congress takes a stand

For the second year in a row, a bill about the BCS has been sent to congress. The bill this year is very simple and states that the BCS cannot use the term "National Chapionship Game" unless that game is determined by a playoff like in every other sport.

I dont know what this will accomplish, because it still needs to get passed, but i think that just the idea that bills are even getting through to congress speaks a lot about how much americans hate the system. Even Texas QB Colt McCoy say that college football needs a playoff even though his team is the beneficiary of the BCS system as they will be in the title game. Thats another thing. People are getting behind the playoff idea and i think sooner or later, we will see one in college football.

Complaints

Alright, so this year the BCS machine actually got the championship game right. It should be Texas-Alabama. But i have something else to complain about. For the first time TWO small conference teams, Boise St. and TCU got BCS bowls. That means that two teams would get a chance to prove their worth against a big conference team, like Florida or Georgia Tech. Now why am I mad at this, you ask? Because guess what the BCS Machine did?! They put the two in THE SAME GAME!!! Are you joking?!?! They deprived the nation of getting to witness a Cinderella story, maybe two! Instead when the game is over, we will have no idea whether a TCU or a Boise can beat a Florida. The BCS did this to protect itself from controversy. They don't want to give us any reason to believe that the small conference teams are worthy. This is total garbage, and needs to be stopped. That BCS has got to go...

1 second really IS the difference

Texas will play in the national championship, as you all have heard by now, I'm sure. But let's take a look at how Texas got to the big game. In my last post, I ended with "as i write this, the score Texas 10 Nebraska 9..." Well craziness DID ensue, but it didn't finish the job. Nebraska, hit a field goal with less than a minute left to take a 12-10 lead, but Texas moved the ball down the field with the help of a bad kickoff and a horse-collar penalty and kicked the game winner with :00 showing on the clock, even after a near clock management debacle. a 13-12 victory lands them in the championship vs. 'Bama. Here are the highlights from this game, if you haven't seen these, they are must see material.

This year, Texas is on the right side of the :01 clock. last year, Texas lost this game to Texas tech on a last second touchdown. This year they win a on a last second field goal. Things finally go right for Texas and they will meet Alabama in the National Championship game.

'Bama: In

In a somewhat stunning game Alabama rolled over Florida as only they could do, in a dominant 32-13 win. So that punches Alabama's ticket to Pasadena for the National Championship Game. But who will the opponent be? Texas, needs only to beat 22 Nebraska in order to get into the big game. But if they lose, we will have a mess. But since I have no emotional connection to Texas, I hope they lose because that would create a mother-sized BCS mess. The Machine would have to pick either Cincinnati, TCU or do the unthinkable and pick Florida. No matter who the BCS Machine picks, there would be serious controversy. If it picks TCU, people would be in an uproar that an undefeated major conference team got left out. If it takes Cincinnati, the little conference executives would go insane because TCU got snubbed. But the BCS machine could do the unthinkable and take Florida. Not only would that create a rematch of a game we have already seen, but it would mean that a one loss team got taken over an undefeated team.

As i write this, the score Texas 10, Nebraska 9 early 4th quarter. I hope that craziness will ensue.
