One more time for emphasis

The BCS system makes me sick.

College football pundits say we have the best two teams playing for it all in Alabama and Texas.

We'll never know.

The NCAA corporation loves the underdogs and Cinderella's when it comes to March Madness or the College World Series. George Mason and Fresno State anyone?

But TCU, Cincinnati and Boise State get to sit this one out. Sure they get to play for third, or fourth but wasn't this the doomsday scenario?

Five undefeated teams, all worthy of a title shot, that only goes to two? Has everyone gone soft.

It's totally unacceptable. No other sport demands perfection, and then when you get it from five teams, three are told "sorry, but you didn't play in a power conference." Not sure if anyone noticed but neither the Big 12 or SEC weren't exactly chalked full of great teams this year.

Worse the BCS bowl arrangement is in place for another FOUR years.

The NCAA should be embarrassed and ashamed. They continue to screw this up and line their pockets in the process.

Decide it on the field, not in an office somewhere, that's the purpose of athletics.
