The BCS is a complete sham
« on: December 06, 2009, 11:57:06 PM »
How do TCU and Boise State not get to play actual BCS teams in a bowl game?  Why you ask?  Because the NCAA is affraid that TCU or Boise State (more TCU) would beat the ever-living crap out of whomever they played.  I love college football, but I don't at the same time. 

And before anyone says I'm a griping TCU fan just know that I bleed Texas A&M white and maroon. 

And how the hell is Cincinnati ranked higher than TCU?  What a crock.

If you want more ammo for your argument, ask how Auburn goes unbeaten in consecutive years and never sniffs a chance (they're an SEC team, btw).

Also, preaching to the choir. :tongue:

This is the one main reason why I hate college football.

I don't watch Football, but I notice College Football seems to be as popular as the professional game.
Why is that?

I used to be a bigger football fan than I am now, but I would have to say it's because college football coaches are more willing to make big plays to win than to play it safe for the salary.

The problem with the BCS system as a whole, as it's a group of corporations that control your destiny. If you're not popular enough, you don't get the ultimate bowl game.

Fact is, the whole system is meant to be a moneymaker, and the fact that the whole committee scoffs at a playoff series type of idea is a symptom of the problem. I can EASILY see college football fan or people aligned to a team lining up for tickets to watch a playoff system, like the Final Four AND still make the $$$. So, it's just a matter of $$$ and "rigging" of the system. There's no meaningful sense in the college game other than a title that truly isn't what it represents.

It is definitely about money that's for sure.
