The Bowl Championship Series: Watch this one, it's about to get obvious...

There is really only one reason I would have any interest in the corrupt toilet which is the Bowl Championship $erie$, or major college football at all.

(Or, as I call it, the BSCS or the B$C$.)

I want the BCS motherfucking dead, to paraphrase a former radio host I used to listen to.

I believe the BCS to be nothing more than a cabal; it's sole purpose, to keep the recognized FBS/Former Division I-A National Championship to a very small number of schools.

Here's a little primer for you to counter a lot of the BCS' arguments about the fairness of the system:

In the last seven years:

How many different schools have been involved in the BCS National Championship Game?

The answer? Seven.

LSU
Alabama
Florida
Texas
Oklahoma
Ohio State
USC (one appearance to be vacated -- the other, almost certainly, as well)

What this means is that the BCS does not consist of six conferences. It really consists of two conferences plus the only other two elite schools the mediots want us to care about.

Why is this? You say that there are other bowls in the BCS? Other conferences??

Remember the one stated goal of the Bowl Championship Series: To decide the National Championship on the field. It cares nothing for other than it's #1 vs. it's #2.

Never mind that that issue was probably settled in each of the last two SEC Championship Games, both Alabama vs. Florida.

The SEC has won the last four BCS titles, and five of the last six the BCS will eventually recognize.

So why is this important?? Well, there was a nice little article inserted just before the beginning of the college football season this year.

Just 14 of the 120 FBS/Former Division I-A colleges made money on their sports programs this year.

It has been confirmed that Alabama, Florida, Ohio State, and Texas made this list.

Coincidence? I think not. A BCS bowl bid nets the conference nearly $10 million.

So, why do I say to watch this one as if it were a train wreck you can't turn away from?

Because the BCS is in trouble.

BIG TROUBLE.

I gave you the stated version of the BCS' mission. The real reason is to keep what are called "non-AQ" schools out of the championship process. They don't want another BYU.

And, for that, I have two words for you: Boise State.

Boise State, for those who do not know, is, by won-loss record, the most successful FBS program of the last decade. It has more wins in the last 10 years than any team in any 0-9 decade in the history of Division I-A/FBS.

Boise State has FOUR undefeated regular seasons since 2004. They DO have two BCS appearances, and have won them both against top-flight competition.

But they have NEVER played for the National Championship.

Well, the alarm bells have already sounded -- as the call has gone out to make sure they never will.

The ESPN BCS experts, one week before the official first BCS rankings, have confirmed that, unless San Jose State can upset the Broncos of Boise State, that Boise State will be #1 BCS for the first official rankings.

I can confirm this. So can anyone with an Internet connection. Both BCS polls (the Coaches'/USA Today and the Harris), as well as five of the six BCS computers are now on the Internet, and can be accessed as soon as the results are updated.

(I'll give links later -- we'll come back to this as a recurring series.)

They show that Boise State is #1 BCS right now, and it's not close -- even though Boise State is a distant #3 to Ohio State and Oregon in the polls, and a distant #2 to LSU in the computers.

So, why be concerned?

The ESPN mediots (and, remember doubly, ESPN takes over the BCS this year) are trying to sound long and hard that Boise State will eventually be dropped for the weakness of their conference.

Well, let's take a look at a few FACTS:

The NCAA publishes a list of the cumulative records of all the opposition of all 120 FBS teams -- their Strength of Schedule.

This list goes backwards AND forwards.

Boise State ranks just below the middle at #63.

The following schools in the current Top 10 BCS (at least as I can figure with five of the six computers) are below Boise State in that measure:

Oregon and TCU.

Just above Boise, in a seven-way tie at #55, is Ohio State.

Michigan State is #37.

Only when you factor in just the SEC and Big XII teams do you get impressive results.

It is as if, bluntly, the ESPN mediots (and the B$C$/Cabal supporters) are trying to prepare us for yet another game between the Big XII Champion and the SEC Champion for the BCS National Title.

If you add USC and Ohio State into this mix, it will be the EIGHTH consecutive year that two of those four entities (Big XII Champ, SEC Champ, Ohio State USC) play for the BCS title.

Watch this space.
