BS, I mean...BCS

So after an extremely mismatched and boring bowl season, there was only one way to cap it off. With yet another unbearable game to watch. How the BCS allowed an "Independent" team to play for a national championship is beyond me. Did they honestly think we were going to get a good show?

Brian Kelly and his Fighting Irish had absolutely no answer for Bama's hot start. Down 28-0 at the half and unable to put up a single point of offense in the first half, Kelly said "we have to make tackles"... That's it? I'm sorry coach, but tackling a guy, isn't going to put the ball in the end zone.
Maybe deep out patterns called on 3rd and 2, 3rd and 7, and 4th down; going up against ine of the most lock-down corners in the NCAA had something to do with deficit. In all fairness to Notre Dame, they had no business being there. They haven't had to see an offense or defense like that all season. Hopefully, moving forward the BCS will take into account that there are much more deserving teams of the spotlight.

On the other hand, I'd like to see a little less favoritism for the SEC. They all end up losing to each other, and staying in the top 15. I think this bowl season showed that they can be beat: ie. South Carolina squeaking by a weak Michigan team. Clemson of the ACC beat LSU, in a "big" bowl game, and alas Louisville beating the pulp out of Florida. What does that say about the "greatest conference"? It just didn't sit well with me that Georgia and Oklahoma had to watch teams far inferior in BCS bowl games.

There has to be a better way for the BCS to grade teams. It's an extremely biased and unfair system. Even with the new playoff system being put into place; it will be a 4-team playoff format, with those teams being chosen by a committee. Although it will be a step in the right direction, but i'm not counting on an unflawed system. With so many teams and conferences, it's almost impossible to make it fair, but maybe if we take the competition of the game a little more seriously come bowl time, rather than how much money each team will generate, it may be a step in the right direction.

Thank you for reading.
