Lazy Days

Yesterday and today are pretty lazy days.
It is still pretty cold out, around 27 as I write this. I went out yesterday and got groceries for a few days so I am set.

It's alright though, yesterday there were some very good college football games on and one more nail in the coffin of the BCS. The consensus number 2 team USC was beaten by unranked UCLA which sets up either a rematch between Ohio State and Michigan or a Ohio State and Florida match up.

Either way it should be a good game however Boise State is undefeated at 12-0 and they are relegated to the Fiesta Bowl to play OU. A undefeated team doesn't get a chance to play for the National Championship. A team that is 12-0!!!!

Give me a sixteen team playoff. That is the solution. A four team would be a baby step in the right direction. What needs to happen though is the abolition of the BCS. When teams can't settle it on the field and who plays is left up to a computer program, well that takes the fun out of the sport and is unfair to the athletes who worked very hard to become undefeated.

What do they get to play for? "We are the Fiesta Bowl Winners....great.....woohoooo.....yep....I'm hungry, where do you want to eat?"
No one is going to remember that or care but they will remember the National Champion.
What I'll remember is a team that has done everything it could do to play for a National Championship and get the very short end of the stick because of a system that is blatantly biased to big schools. They have nothing to gain except a win in a meaningless bowl. If they win then so what? If they lose then they were supposed to lose and have no business playing against the top conferences anyway.

Who loses? Boise State and the fans.
Who wins? The Bowl hosts who have conned the public that their bowl games mean something today.
