BCS
Can you believe that BCS??? How much garbage is this system. I'm okay with the championship game, those two teams are good, but putting TCU and Boise St. together is just wrong. I heard someone say it's like the kids table at Thanksgiving. Yeah, they'll let you be there, but you're not going to get respect and you'll be with those who they don't respect either. The BCS is afraid to admit they have a flawed system by having a non-BCS team beat a BCS team again. Utah did it last year, BYU beat Oklahoma earlier this year. Boise St. beat Oregon this very year! And Oregon's in the Rose Bowl! I don't know how to do any better, I've heard some good ideas in the past, but it's going to take the entire nation to be together for it to work.

BCS = Bull Crap System. Last year, there were only 2 undefeated teams: Utah and Florida. Yet Florida DIDN'T play Utah for the BCS National Championship. They played Oklahoma, who had lost to Texas but got into the BCS Championship by hundredths of a point because of the Big 12's tiebreaking system. So what if they are from the bigger conference? So what if they are from a "BCS" conference. Give 'em a chance to play! Seeing as how there are 5 teams this year that are undefeated (Alabama, Texas, TCU, Boise St., and Cincinnati), lets think about how we could make this into a "playoff" based on the BCS rankings. Forget about the BCS National Championship game. Let Boise St. play Alabama. Let Texas play TCU (that would be the true battle of Texas), and let Cincinnati play Florida. And then take the two highest remaining teams and seed them against each other. That way the "Non-BCS" little guys can prove to the BCS big boys that they can play. FACT: The three times that Non-BCS teams have played in a BCS bowl, they have WON (Utah in 2004 vs. Pitt, Boise St. in 2006 vs. Oklahoma, Utah in 2008 vs. Alabama). Let the undefeateds battle it out. There should not be 2 teams left undefeated at the end of a season. How could you say that they are not National championship worthy? Explain that one BCS Committee! And I dont want to hear from your lame-o BCS Public Relations rep. If you would do things the proper way in the first place, you wouldn't have to have a BCS Public Relations Rep!
Now on to the Fiesta Bowl....or as I like to call it the "BCS Cop-Out Bowl". The director of the Fiesta Bowl said that he was "taking a TV ratings chance" on having Boise St. and TCU playing each other. Nice cover-up Fiesta Bowl. Did the BCS PR guy tell you to say that? The BCS knows they are in trouble. Why else would they A) hire a PR guy and B) put two "mid-major" schools in the same BCS bowl. And both of these events happened within the same month! They will do anything and everything to keep the little guys out. Some of the BCS ego's must have been badly bruised when Alex Smith and the Utah Utes destroyed the Pitt Panthers in '04, or when Chris Peterson and Boise St. busted out their trickery against Adrian Peterson and Oklahoma, or when Utah in 2008 humiliated Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. They will get their TV ratings. They always do. But this year, the ratings will be for a different reason. The people watching this game on TV will be wondering "What if....what if they got to play the big boys?". Now that the lowest of the lows of the BCS is being exposed on National TV (lowest of lows so far I should add), maybe, just maybe, the nation can finally come together on at least ONE topic and make the necessary changes for college football to be fair.
