The BCS: Beyond Common Sense


It's that time of year again!

10 teams will soon meet in College Football's bowls of all bowls that make up the Bowl Championship Series.

Fans are excited! In fact, a poll released Tuesday by the Quinnipac University Polling Institute shows that 63% of fans want to GET RID OF the current system in place. They would like to see it more like a March Madness type of event -- obviously with a lot less teams.

I agree with them -- but what else is new?

But who cares? It's the Bowl Championship Series -- but what does that even mean?

Isn't there only one championship game? But wait -- each BCS bowl winner is the champion of their respective bowl -- well, I guess that's kind of cool.

Then again, that would mean the winner of the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl is the champion of $2 crazy bread -- cool.

Regardless of our opinions, it seems as if the BCS is here to stay, at least for now -- but a dude can dream right?

I took this years teams and moved them around a bit. Check the BCS matchups I wish could happen this year!

BCS National Championship @ the Rose Bowl
Texas v. Florida

We already have a great NC match up, but it could be Colt McCoy v. Tim Tebow. Who doesn't want to see that match-up?

BCS Rose Bowl
Oregon v. Boise State

I know it's a rematch of the first game of the season— but that's why I want to see it! Boise smashed on Oregon, but Oregon ripped off a great season and has looked unstoppable at times. Could Boise pull off another huge upset?

BCS Fiesta Bowl
Ohio State v. Cincinatti

I want this argument to finally be decided: which is the better team in Ohio?

BCS Sugar Bowl
Alabama v. TCU

I want to see if TCU can hang with the big boys. Could TCU really stop both a tough and fast team in Alabama?

BCS Orange Bowl
Iowa v. Georgia Tech

We'll just keep this one the same...Yay...
