At the conclusion of 3 BCS games, my scorecard tells me that the fans have been robbed by the BCS system 4 times. While it's fun to watch people dance in the end zone and score relentlessly, we have yet to have a competitive game on the field. Nationally, USC is getting kudos for beating a poor team at home while UGA is being labeled a bully for hammering Hawaii, who may have run the table in the WAC, but would face stiffer competition on Tucker's Fitzgerald Field.
West Virginia took it to Oklahoma as we mercifully watched time expire last night. And number 4 comes from the exclusion of Missouri from the system. What system matches a 2 loss team against a 4 loss team who is arguably the 6th best team in the SEC?
In 3 at bats, the BCS is 0-4. While I am pumped that the SEC is 6-2, a remarkable season has been diminished by this system.
While I am a limited-government conservative, I hereby pledge my vote to the first presidential candidate to add the abolition of the BCS to his platform. Good evening, and may God Bless the United States of America.

You know, I read your Fitzgerald field as a joke, but I do wonder how Lowndes or Tucker or Northside would fare against Hawaii. They're bigger, sure, and would score a ton of points and win the game, but defensive speed runneth aplenty in the Southland. That's the biggest difference that these national pundit idiots have yet to figure out.
I loved the OU game, not only because I felt bad for WV but because OU was one team being mentioned in the same breath as USC / UGA as the real best teams. This simply solidifies the argument that USC / UGA would've been the marquis matchup of the year and emphasizes the way in which the college football world was cheated.
Barnhart says, "the Rose bowl just doesn't care." Well, my hope is they will start caring when Corporate America chews some TV exec a$$ and Fox turns around and chews some ivory tower/college president / conference commisioner a$$ because viewers are going to bed at halftime and the advertisers are pissed off.
Prediction: we have another butt whooping with Kansas and VT but then a close one for the championship and everyone tries to say, "See, the system worked!"
It is kind of sad that again the best bowl I've watched has been the Peach/Chick-Fil-A Bowl.....this one always seems to be good....I thought that it should become a BCS bowl but they would just screw it up...don't get me wrong....I loved beating the pooh out of HI....but it wasn't a good game by any stretch.
Here's the problem, or one of them as I see it,......this system is all about money....Sponsors are as much to blame as anyone...but less than the BCS themselves because they allow the sponsors to be what they are...marketing whores....you can't blame Allstate or any of the others for being who they are anymore than you can blame a pig for being a pig...
So LSU wins the SEC and gets the bid for the NC....leaving the Allstate (Sugar) without the "traditional" SEC champ...the Citi (Rose) Bowl got their coveted Pac-10 USC....but looking at the landscape a perfect match would be USC/UGA in the Grand-Daddy....but then Allstate would have to settle for TN if they were to keep their SEC ties in place and they would be sad because now CITI is going to get more marketing exposure because they have the better game and that's just not fair....after all it's not really about the football....it's about the money generated for sponsors, NCAA, BCS and University Presidents and networks.....it stopped being about the football when sponsors began re-naming the bowls.
Yes we got cheated....is it going to change?? No, it's too late...there is already too much money to be lost if it changes.
And you know the Tucker Lions ain't skeered!
