Who is #1? Who is the best college football team in America? According to the current BCS rankings, its Ohio State, LSU, Oregon, and Kansas.
Ohio State is the master of scheduling and expose the biggest loophole of this crappy ranking system. Do not play any tough out-of-conference games and get lucky and win your mediocure conference. So far, so good. They have not beaten anyone, but yet they’re ranked #1 and probably headed to the BCS Title game if they can just beat Michigan. LSU seems to have 9 lives as they pulled out another big win with another big 4th quarter comeback. Then there is Oregon who just beat highly-ranked ASU and Kansas who continues to steam roll thru the Big 12. If this tend continues, Oregon and Kansas are about th get screwed just like Auburn (who were undefeated) did a few years ago.
I am a PAC-10 guy myself and would love to see Oregon in the title game, but I want to see change! Fix this crappy BCS system and go to a playoff. No one wants to see Kansas go undefeated and finish 3rd or 4th in the final BCS Standings with no change to play for the national title. How many times is it going to take for a team in a power conference to go undefeated and finish out of the top 2 before this system gets fixed?
I understand the tradition of the Bowl games and the amount of money associated with them. Times hve changed for example, not all the major bowl games are on Jan 1 like in years past. The NCAA can do better needs to do something about this by developing a playoff system that incorporates the major bowl games as part of it.
Go Kansas and screw the BCS!
