BCS should be BSC (guess what BS stands for)

The Bowl Championship Series was the brain child of Roy Kramer (former SEC chairman) and was instituted in 1998 to elimnate doubt for the NCAA college football championship. This formula can easily decide which 2 teams from 119 are deserving enough to play for the championship. I can't wait until we get a playoff series 40 years from now and I have to explain to my kids that, when I watched college football, the championship was not determined on the field but was determined in cyberspace by a bunch of nerds who haven't seen a woman naked other than Aunt Gerti at the family reunion and have never touched a football EVER. Ever since it's inception in 1998 there has been controversy. How can you pick from the top 8 teams in the country based on biased opinions (which is basically what the polling system is)? Well, the BCS uses strength of schedule to help elimnate that (which ironically is based on the same biased polling system). To counteract human bias, the BCS is also made up of 6 computer polls which are so erratic. Some polls have teams with 3 losses ahead of undefeated teams as of today. I don't care who you are playing, if you are 5-0, clearly you did enough to NOT LOSE three times no matter to who. In most of the polls used (the Billingsly Report for example) there are two 3-2 teams ahead of Alabama who is 5-0 coming off a schilacking of #3 Florida. The two teams are Michigan and Arizona State. Arizona State's schedule is now giving them inflated rankings. They are the only team #1 USC has played that is ANY GOOD so they get inflated rankings JUST for playing this team. How dumb is that? The fans don't like this system, the players don't like this system, I guarantee the coaches don't like this system, the media doesn't like this system (the AP said the BCS can't use their poll anymore because the system is sooo stupid (how's that for a blow of confidence)), so who does like the system? School presidents and the networks. I don't understand how but they do. They would make more money if they just had a 4 team playoff. This would just mean AN additional game on top of the normal bowls. You can't use the tired excuse of "Well the players would just be out of school too long." BULL SHIT ITS OVER WINTER BREAK YOU DUMB FUCKS. How can you justify keeping basketball players out for THE WHOLE MONTH OF MARCH but you can't keep football players out probably 3-4 days max??? DUMB EXCUSE. So the real excuse has to be money. It doesn't make any sense to me though. More games + more TV commercials = MORE MONEY. I don't know, all I know is the BCS is about as smart as slamming your dick in a car door.

I'll tell you something that's real screwed up... I forget which poll it is (And I'm too lazy to look it up right now), but one of the 8 formula-based polls that make up the BCS actually factors in the disparity in the score of a game. And, no, it's not the way you think. The larger the disparity in the score between the two teams, the worse... yes I said WORSE the BCS score for the WINNING team. How fucked up is that? So you actually get penalized for blowing a team out. I don't understand it...
