BCS weenies tell Congress the obvious

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Smoky Joe Barton. Never met a polluting industry he didn't like.

 

Screw you guys. I'm f**king pumped that this might actually happen.

College football is a multi-million dollar industry that affects each and every state. It's nice to see Congress step up and try to introduce a little legitimacy into the process.

Anyone who thinks a champion should be crowned via a popularity contest is a tool.

 

You're just saying that because you know all the congresspeople who try to put government in every single phase of our lives are all democrats.

 

Tony would be a lot more popular here if he'd just end every post with a smiley.

 

Yeah, smiley makes it all OK. As in this example: Football_Bat can't even get the friggin name right of someone he's paying tribute to.

 

I'm drunk off my ass enjoying an unexpected 11-day vacation. Cut a brutha a break.

 

Naming a college national champions isn't fair? Too damn bad, either is life. And this idea that if you can't get your way then run crying to the government is horseshit. Guess what commissioner of a non-BCS conference, you can have playoffs 'til the cows come home and one of your teams is never winning a title. Quit your fuckin' whining.

 

I don't care if BCS teams never win a playoff, what matters to me is that those schools like Utah and Boise State actually have a chance to win a national championship. Because right now, they don't.

 

Well, it's none of the government's Goddamn business. Even if the country was running on all cylinders, this is a colossal waste of time. Right now, it's beyond belief these asshats are wasting our time — and money — on this bullshit. On the list of things I care about, an occasional undefeated non-BCS school is about 8,543rd. If Americans are content to let their representatives fuck off trying to browbeat BCS conference commissioners and they truly care more about the fucking Longhorns winning the Big 12 South than what happens to something like, say, the economy, then we deserve the worst representation possible.

 

My post had nothing to do with the government. It only dealt with a playoff system vs. bowls. I've been in JoePa's corner since the 1980s -- there's no reason a playoff system couldn't work and shouldn't be in place.

Utah could run the table three years in a row, scheduling top-25 BCS opponents in non-conference play the whole way, and it would never sniff a BCS championship game with the system we have in place now. That's a flawed system.

 

Fine, but let the NCAA deal with it. And please, no, "Well, they'll never do anything about it." That may be the case, but a flawed system for fucking college football is not the end of the world. From a fan standpoint, a college football playoff would be incredible. But it's not so important than Congress needs to get involved. America will survive without Boise State and/or Utah getting its ass kicked at the end of every third or fourth season.
