The BCS is a joke
My friend and fellow blogger is upset about Michigan getting left out of the BCS Championship game. Blog 1. Blog 2.
Pee-Wee football has a playoff. High school has a playoff. The NAIA has a playoff. NCAA Division I-AA, Div. II and Div. III have playoffs. The NFL has a playoff. The CFL has a playoff. Why can't NCAA Division I-A have a playoff?
There will be no legitimate champion until there is a playoff. The run that George Mason University made in the NCAA Basketball Tournament last year is proof that it isn't always the big dogs that can win. Michigan deserves a chance to play for the football championship. Boise State deserves a chance.
It is absolutely stupid that only two selected teams get to play for the championship.

to quote the immortal "Deep Throat" of Watergate fame, "follow the money." There is big money in the BCS and 6 conferences get it. A playoff would have to share with everyone.
One thing that gets me is teams like Duke, Vanderbilt and Baylor are considered "BCS Schools." These are teams that couldn't win a game at the Division II level. While Utah, Boise State and Southern Miss are much better "non-BCS" teams.
