I think about the BCS system. I can't even think of a name insulting enough for the system. It looks as though the system is in place, as is, until 2014, at least.

The lowlights for me in the article are the quotes about the slippery slope to a playoff and the "best interests" of college football are particularly galling.

They (meaning the BCS Bumjuggers) are THE ultimate trolls.

Bottom line:

Quote:

Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese and Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe, for the first time, made it known publicly that their leagues were also against moving the BCS in any way toward a playoff.

“There’s a strong sense in that room of the slippery slope view that there’s never been a collegiate or professional playoff that’s stopped at four teams,” Delany said.

Quote:

“The seeded model looked like a playoff, and we don’t think a playoff is in the best interest of college football,” he said.

Filthy, lying, greedy sons of bitches. May they rot in hell.

Translation:

the seeded model looked like a playoff and we don't think a playoff is in OUR best interests.

Did that need a translation?

I would state how I really feel about the BCS, but my 9 year old is here in the den with me watching tv and I really shouldn't use that kind of language.

This is one time that I would like to see the folks who run the government do something to earn my tax dollars as their pay. There has to be some kind of little known law being violated that could allow all federal money to be yanked away from all public BCS schools.

I like how these scumbags claim they are against a playoff because it would add more games to these poor student-athletes already demanding lives, and would extend the season too long - and then they go and add a 12th game for EVERY team, and push the bowl season well past the once sacrosanct January 1st end date. Wait, "scumbags" is definitely too tame of a description.

If BYU were to move to a BCS conference, would all of our righteous indignation against the BCS suddenly dry up?
