More ludicrosity from the BCS format this week as three of the top 7 squads are from the same DIVISION of the same conference. Texas gets the 3way tie nod, which changes things up a little bit. As you can see with the 8 team format there would still be a lot of griping as teams like USC, Boise St, and Utah wouldn’t get a chance, which is why I’m still in favor of the 12 teamer.
Also this week we have included the FCS (formerly Division I-AA) bracket (I’m sure you are gasping for air right now trying to comprehend how in the world the subdivision of college football has a playoff but they claim it is just too impossible for the big boys to make it happen). Unlike the ig-nant BCS who end their season with polls and computers deciding champions, Division I – Football Championship Subdivision decides their champion like Division II, Division III, and practically every other NCAA team sport does, with a tournament. In December 2006 The I-AA label was replaced with FCS. Major recruits need to start going to App State or ‘Nova just to be a part of a playoff. Then we’ll see how quick the big boys get them a tournament to determine a true champion.

If there ever was a game where the NCAA might be in the business of fixing games, it’s the Oklahoma-Ok. St. game next week. How would the BCS deal with Texas Tech in the Big XII title game? They would have to rank them ahead of Texas (head to head and conference champs), right?
The moral of the story is: if you hate the BCS, cheer for every underdog next week to win (FSU, Auburn, Ok. St., Notre Dame, Texas A&M, Baylor), and maybe it will make the BCS computers explode.
