Forget the BCS... What Would Bear Bryant Do?

Can I pile on the overflowing bandwagon of people who think the BCS system is a bunch of hooey? Is there room for me in the Steerage Class section?

We're now in the dead season, where the top teams wait, like, seven months or something before they play again. What is wrong with doing a 4-team or 8-team playoff?

I'd like to know who exactly would be against this?

If it's a money thing, and the NCAA honks think that there is too much money at stake, imagine how much MORE money they would rake in with a couple more super-top-tier games.

Having the Dr. Scholl's Foot-Odor-That-Smells-Like-Corn-Chips Bowl for one semifinal, and the Loaded Chunky Soup In the Black Can Bowl for the other semifinal - there would be at least another $50 million for the NCAA fat cats to divide up between them.

And best of all?

The championship would actually be decided ON the field, instead of by a computer.

As I learned on www.bcs-sucks.com the final Jeff Sagarin computer poll of the season had Virginia Tech ranked *above* LSU, after LSU not only won the SEC, but LSU played the Hokies, and beat them by 41! What in the name of Keith Jackson's pouch is going on around here?For several Bible-length volumes of truth on the BCS shenanigans, you can go here, here or here.


I have just one message for all the folks in charge of the BCS:
