Bowl Championship Series officials rejected a plan to turn the controversial system for deciding a national champ into a four-team playoff, starting in the 2010 season.

I just do not get it.  There is an obvious problem with this system, yet the people in charge do not want to fix it.  We fans want to see a playoff, so why not give it to us!  

I do not want to ever see another undefeated team from a power conference finish 3rd in the BCS final standings and be shut of  the title game.  Like this past season, I do not want to see Ohio State weisel their way into the title game by playing a soft schedule over stronger teams like Georgia. 

These officials are idiots and clearly have no idea what they are doing.  They have already ruined the New Years’ Day bowl day by scattering the BCS Bowl games to other days.  I wonder what is next..

UCLA Football is back.  To go along with the hiring of Slick Rick Neuheisel, UCLA has just hired offensive guru and former USC and Tennessee Titans offensive coordinator, Norm Chow to run their offense.  What high school QB would not want to play in an offense run by Norm Chow?   Chow has coach three Heisman Trophy QBs during his career and shown that he can run an explosive offense in both college and in the NFL.  If you can make Vince Young look like a good QB, then you are a very very good offensive coordinator who can turn any average QB into a great one.

I thought the season was over about one week ago, but there was one more game to be played and that was tonight’s BCS National Championship game where once again we watched a more dominant LSU Tigers team out of the SEC, easily defeat the overrated Big-10 champion Ohio State Buckeyes. 

I have to ask why the hell was Ohio State in this game? They lost to Illinois and were clearly not that good and it showed in this game just how easiy it is for a team to buck this horrible BCS system.  Win all your games with an easy schedule and you will at least make the BCS.  Look at Ohio State and Hawaii as great examples of this.  

Hopefully the BCS voters will rethink voting any team into the top 2 or into the top 14 that qualify for a BCS bid that plays a weak schedule.  As a huge sports fan, I am sick and tired of seeing these lop-sided BCS games. 

There is all this stupid talk about a “plus one” game to decide the national champion.  “Plus One” is another stupid idea and it is sure to fail somehow.  When is the stupid BCS Committee going to get their acts together and put together and put a playoff system in place.  Enough is enough..

Despite the efforts of fans and even the governor of Hawaii, June Jones has decided to leave Hawaii to become the head coach at SMU.  The move makes sense despite leading Hawaii to a 12-0 record before getting their butts kicked against Georgia in the BCS Sugar Bowl. 

Firstly, Hawaii were lucky to be selected into the BCS this season since they played a weak schedule despite winning the WAC Conference.  With their unimpressive showing in the Sugar Bowl, I doubt voters will give them another chance at making at that far for a long time. 

Secondly, the facilities at Hawaii need a significant upgrade and the recruiting budget is minimal.  At SMU, Jones will receives more money, recently renovated facilities, better recruiting, and a another chance at revitalizing an SMU program that is basically at rock bottom.   Jones has accomplished all that any coach could have accomplished at Hawaii and it was time for a new challenge at SMU.

Other than the beautiful beaches of Hawaii, there was really nothing keeping Jones at Hawaii.  I am sure Jones was just imagining what his offense will be able to do with great players he will be able to recruit that he otherwise could not have at Hawaii.

Yet again, I just thought of another flaw with this screwed up BCS system.  Many teams have 4 or more weeks off between their last game and the BCS Bowl game.  Why?  The BCS/NCAA bitch and complain about the season lasting too long if there was a playoff, but yet most teams finish their season in late November or early December and have to wait until at least January 1st to play their BCS Bowl game. 

Firstly, Most teams are going to be rusty which means they will not be playing their best in the most important game of the season.    Usually makes for a bad BCS game.  Just ask Ohio State last season in the BCS Title game.  They looked great against Michigan in November, but looked like crap against Florida.   What else is new.

Secondly,  when coaching positions at top schools open up, occasionally a BCS team will lost their coach in the process like the case with West Virginia’s Rich Rodriguez.  A great job opens up that they cannot refuse, and simply must leave their teams immediately leaving their team while they are preparing for their BCS Bowl game.  Often times, a team without its leader usually falters making for a bad BCS game which we have all grown used to.  Although it did not seem to effect them as they whooped ass on Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.  Much credit to the WV players for hanging tough and playing hard.

Thirdly, there is nothing special about playing the bowl games on January 1st anymore.  The traditional January 1st bowl schedule is no more.  Only 2 of the top 5 bowl games take place that day. 

How about a playoff that starts in early or mid-December and finishes around the early January time frame?  Its a great idea which means it will never happen. 

The BCS idiots just do not have a clue…
