Fix the Dang System

Now it is important that I state to the BLOG UNIVERSE that I am not disputing some of the teams that have won the National Championship over the last 11 years.  Some of these teams were clearly the best teams.   Florida, Alabama, Miami, FSU, Texas….. The rest ehhhhh

The REAL problem that needs to be corrected is the way the opponents to these eventual national champions are determined. To many times we are force fed a media opinion of a "Strong Conference" instead of play on the field, and that is one of the many reasons why Oklahoma and Ohio State got in year after year only to get beat by a total of 179-85.  

To give you some other ideas of why the BCS continually misses the mark of giving us the best championship games each year, and why the #2 team is not always the issue.  

Oklahoma and Ohio State were the #1 ranked team 4 out of the 5 years they were blown out.  Here are the main 3 reasons they get it wrong: Pre-Season Ranking in the Top 5, Strength of Schedule for both Conference and Non Conference.  

All of these items we will dig into down the road.  Needless to say, because of these reasons we don't get to see a real national championship game.  Instead we get one that the BCS, NCAA, and Media determine year after year, and why so many people believe it is a Paper Championship. 

This blog is open to anyone who wants to prove why the BCS is the best system ever invented to prove who are the real National Champions.

The BCS debate goes on and on and on.........

So the year ended and Auburn was crowned the National Champions of College Football after beating Oregon 22-19 in what was the first real game the BCS Championship has put together in 5 years since Texas beat USC in the Rose Bowl. 

The underlining problem is that we as fans are still left wondering what could have been since there was another undefeated team in TCU who beat the Big 10 Champion (Second strongest conference last year) Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.


Look the thing that makes college football so great year round are these "what if" scenarios that fans continually argue about during the off-season; with all roads leading back to a playoff system to decide a winner to these arguments.


GIVE ME YOUR WHAT IF SCENARIO FROM THIS PAST YEAR?
Here is mine...


What if TCU was allowed to play Auburn after each played their respective 1st Bowl Game?
