Musical Number Ones

It's that time of year where whoever is ranked number one in college football gets beat.

Ohio State from the incredibly overrated Big 10 conference just got dumped yesterday. This places the best scenario for a BCS meltdown on the table now! If TCU and Boise State run the table and wind up 1 and 2 then they'll have to be considered the best in the nation and play in the BCS game!

Of course they aren't eligible to play in the BCS game as they are not BCS teams. That should be enough to bring an end to the BCS and calls for a playoff system that everyone wants to see. Well everyone but the college presidents who make more money from the current system that is.

Fans, teams, most coaches, want a system where the best team is determined on the field by the teams themselves. No one is happy with the current system. It's convoluted and doesn't get the job done. There are always questions at the end of the season that will always go unanswered.

College basketball is different, everyone knows who the best team is. They prove it on the court. There is no question at all left. Even the lower divisions of college football have a playoff system and there are no problems with it. Division One has the problems though. It'll take teams that are not BCS eligible to get into the top games to melt down the system, let's hope it happens year after year after year!
