I truly love college football, I tolerate the NFL. I don't care for Baseball or basketball and I truly loathe soccer!

I never really cared for the BCS. This year in particular it is horrible at best.

Take my Sooners (11-2), they play U Conn (8-4) in the Fiesta. I have no doubt U Conn will give a good game, but shouldn't a top 25 team make it to a BCS bowl?

I'm not trying to put down U Conn, but the LOGIC.

Mississippi St (8-4), who lost to Auburn(1), LSU (11), 'Bama (16) and the Hogs(8) all top teams, and get stuck in the Gator Bowl. How is that logical, I wont even use the trem fair.

As for the non-BCS bowls, what money grubbing pukes thought they would put Washington (6-6) up agents Nebraska (10-3).

In the old ten (or eleven) game seasons I saw the 6-4 teams going bowling, better than 50%, sure why not.

I do not blame any school accepting a bowl invitation, it means money for them. But I think it cheapens any sort of prestige of the tradition of the bowls.

But 50/50 teams going to bowl games is just pathetic. Between ESPN and the BCS, college football is getting as sleazy as the NFL

A Great Big AMEN to that. To me it's getting to the point that the best sports left on tv are all college such as: basketball, baseball and hockey. One bright spot is Division II football, gotta brag our Whitewater Warhawks won again yesterday, 3 out of the last 4 years. But that doesn't get much of any press.

popplecop,

I agree, the Division II is still playing pure, I watched what ESPN had to offer this weekend too.

Now Jon, the last time your Sooners played for the BCS title, my Gators took 'em to the woodshed. :rolleyes:

And the refs weren't bias :rolleyes:

With plays and refs like this how could you not win?

it all depends on one's point of view, eh? :D

I thought most of the bad calls went against Florida.
