How can you say they are the real champion?

With the fall semester coming to an end and Christmas just around the corner, it must mean that college football season has come to the end of another season as well. I love this time of the year. From December 19th, with my hometown hosting the New Mexico Bowl, and it all coming to an end on January 7th in Pasadena for the national championship. A total of 34 different bowl games take place and I love every minute of it. Now I do like how spread out the games are with only having two or three games a day. But, it isn't as exciting as the first two rounds of the NCAA college basketball tournament that has drama just about every other game. However, that isn't til March and this will do just find during the holiday break. My favorite thing about this is I get to go to the Fiesta Bowl and the Sun Bowl this year. I kinda wish the running back from Standford would have won the Heisman so I could witness a Heisman winner play, but what can you do. And getting to see two undefeated teams like Boise State and TCU play is going to be awesome. Finally, I just want to say being a big Oregon Ducks fan that I hope we can beat Ohio State for the first time in school's history. Go Ducks! Bring home the yellow roses.

However, I do have a problem with this whole BCS system that is going on. And this time every year I like to take a moment and say how once again this system is a disaster. Alabama will play Texas and I'm sure it will be a great match up. But, how can you say a true champion is crowned. I must mention that there was three other teams that went undefeated also (Cincinnati, TCU, and Boise State). How is it fair for these teams to not get a shot to win the championship after such a great season? The BCS reminded me of a class discussion we had on how football is the dominate sport and how it is the main money maker/loser for a university. BCS isn't fair at all. These lower schools will never be able to get the opportunity to prove themselves if they don't get the chance. And to have Boise play TCU in a BCS game is a low blow because neither team gets to prove what they can do against a major conference. This is what I like about March Madness is because it allows for even the smallest school like George Mason the chance to prove themselves. And if I recall since non-BCS teams have made it to BCS games, there record is pretty good. Utah has beaten both Pittsburgh and Alabama, yes just one year ago the number one team in the nation was beaten by a non-BCS school. Boise State shocked Oklahoma in one of the best games of all-time. By making a playoff you can take the top eight teams and it will not only make more money because of more games, but it will determine a true national champion. Here is the great ending of Boise State winning the Fiesta Bowl: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zb2ntCDZz0w
