BCS Chokes Again!

It's no secret that I despise the BCS and all it stands for. SO you can imagine my joy at discovering this article by ESPN's Rick Reilly:

And so we can add Utah (again) to the list of teams the BCS has failed to account for in its system. I am beginning to wonder at the intelligence of the men and women who call it a "National" championship game. Apparently the word 'nation' in their minds does not include the state of Utah.

College football continues to revolve not around the character of the athletes, their education and morals, not around the quality of the programs, their wins and losses, but around the value of the dollars those programs can bring in. This sad state of affairs is so lamentable that I don't really watch D-I (FBS) football anymore. I'd rather read a book or go for a hike with my son that watch a "sport" that eliminates half its teams from championship contention before the season starts automatically (via conference ties) and another quarter through opinion polls. The only real exception I make for that, obviously, is the the Oregon Ducks, for whom I will gladly bleed green and yellow forever.

Live green, Yell-O!
