The BCS Joke!!!
I had to laugh... or cry at the following final rankings for the BCS.
#1 - Oklahoma State, Big 12 Conference Champions and finishing ranked 3rd and being left out of the BCS Title game to the SECOND place team in the SEC Alabama? 'Nuff said.
#2 - Boise State finished ranked #7 in the BCS and isn't going to a BCS Bowl Game?
#3 - Kansas State finished ranked #8 in the BCS and plays in a BCS Conference and isn't going to a BCS Bowl game?
#4 - Stanford, who finished second in the PAC 12 North Division behind Conference Champion Oregon... is ranked ABOVE them in the final BCS standings?
This list can go on and on and on and every years it's the same thing... The fact that these four even exist like this should be completely unacceptable yet the NCAA just allows it to happen. A playoff would produce a system where the teams who are left out will also cry, but a 9th, 13th or 17th ranked team crying foul because they were left out is much better than a 3rd ranked team like we seem to get EVERY YEAR. Start A Playoff Already!
I'm new to this site...but the only way anything will change is if we find a way to hit the BCS' pocket book. First, the BCS Championship game needs to be completely boycotted. Anyone who cares about college football should refuse to watch it, period. That should include LSU and Alabama fans who will never know how good their teams really are. Second, the way you get something like this moving is to protest it in a way that brings media coverage (i.e. Occupy Wall Street). For me, one obvious place to do it is in New Orleans where they picked the most unfair BCS game known to mankind. Another location would be were BCS administrators are located. Thoughts...
We seriously have to do something...Why not Occupy Bourbon Street in the days leading up to the game with some serious protests?
