BS...I mean BCS recap

So, I'm sure that a lot of you tuned into the BS...BCS national championship game last night. For those of you not familiar with the BS...BCS championship system. I'll sum it up for you in one sentence. The computers go ring-a-ding-ding and we have two teams with one loss records playing for a national championship that 8 teams deserve.

Almost every year something goes awry with this god awful system. In 2004, there were four undefeated teams in college football (Utah, Auburn, Oklahoma, and USC). Of course, this would make perfect sense if this was for the WWE Championship, (Fatal Four Way anyone?) but in football, only two teams can play each other at the same time. Auburn and Utah were screwed and USC won the national championship.

After a year where the system actually worked, every year since has been marred with an undefeated team and a slew of one loss teams. Hell, this year Utah went 13-0 and beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Yeah, Alabama who was the cat's ass for the majority of the college football season. The two teams in the BCS championship game both had one loss, but Utah was the only undefeated team in college football. Apparently, the Associated Press poll sort of agreed with me. Florida was chosen as the national champion, but 16 first place votes went to Utah.

The TV executives and college presidents have their heads so far up their ass on this issue that they can't hear the millions of fans and the freakin' president-elect screaming for a playoff system. Of course they give arguments that make my head hurt.

"But Chris, every game is a playoff when it's like this."

FALSE! Texas beat Oklahoma on a neutral field. If this were truly a playoff, Oklahoma would be gone from memory. In this system, Oklahoma leap frogged Texas mainly because they lost earlier than Texas. That's another flaw in this system. If a team loses in week 1 to South Dakota State and then another team goes undefeated until the last week of the season where they lose in their conference's championship game, the team who lost to some cupcake gets rewarded while the team who lost to a legit team gets penalized.

"But Chris, these players are students too, they need to take their finals."

FALSE! Yes, they are students, but the main players on each team are probably the dumbest human beings on the face of the earth. Look at your high school class. I guarantee you that there was one kid in your class that if it weren't for football he would be completely worthless. Every time I see that Brian Urlacher commercial for Old Spice, I laugh hysterically. "MY NAME BRIAN URLACHER AND I PLAY THE FOOTBALL! URLACHER WEAR THE SWAGGER CAUSE HE GET MAKE FUN OF WHEN URLACHER LITTLE! WHO LAUGH NOW...URLACHER LAUGH NOW!" For every Myron Rolle (who is a Rhodes scholar) there's 300 Brian Urlachers. Watch national signing day this year and look at all the people that can barely speak English correctly.

So how do we fix this? Here's my proposal.

- Eliminate the conference championship games and have all teams play 12 games.

- Take the top 16 teams in the final BCS standings. Some people say this is too many, but in reality, it's about the top 13 percent of college teams.

- The high seed hosts the games up until the national championship. Then the national championship game is rotated along the four BCS bowls. This would ensure that all games mean something. Could you imagine the road to the national championship going through the Los Angeles Coliseum, or Between the Hedges, or even through TCF Bank Stadium???

- As teams are eliminated, the bowls can select their participants. For example, if Michigan loses in the first round of the tournament, the Capital One Bowl can call and invite them to their game.

- The winner of the national championship game, wins....um...self-explanitory.

This would be as big as March Madness. This would also help the struggling economy. There would be so many people pouring money into these host cities that it would have to do something positive. Unfortunately, those big wigs will keep talking about their millions of dollars in TV contracts and I don't believe we'll ever see anything of this magnitude. Until then, our best chance is to break out our copies of NCAA Football 2009 and play it out ourselves.
