College Football Playoffs, Please
Can we now agree that the Bowl Championship Series is just utterly ridiculous?

Hasn’t that been the consensus from the start? Or are we moving from the consensus that the BCS was ridiculous to the new consensus that it is utterly ridiculous? Another word that I think is appropriate is FUBAR.

I agree that the BCS has been understood as ridiculous. Nebraska in the 2001-2002 title game? The split national championship in 2003-2004? I’m just waiting to hear from the handful of (influential) holdouts who have maintained that this flawed system works. This season is utter proof that the BCS does not work. I don’t think Ohio St. should be in the championship game and LSU is hanging on by a thread. But I can’t suggest good replacements. A playoff could solve that issue. How does the #1 ranked team (Missouri) lose its conference championship game and drop out of the BCS only to be replaced by a team (Kansas) from its own conference that did not play in the championship game and that Missouri beat just a few weeks ago? A perfect solution to these problems would be to have teams compete in a playoff.

Preach it. The BCS gives way too much weight to the SEC (it’s a religion down here).

It’s interesting because the game as part of its very identity is too violent to carry forward a scheduling system that could show who is the best without beating college athletes to a pulp.
Go Celtics.
lol.
