It goes well with this article.
Check out this sweet graph (plus commentary) that helps us figure out why teams are ranked in their position.
I thought we could compare this chart to some other sports and see how the BCS really is superior.
For instance, in the 2009 NCAA Tournament (pictured below) the team that wound up being the champion was the one won one the tournament. I know it seems amateur, but the people over in basketball think it's wise to have a team win on the court !!! in a tournament !!! I'm seriously laughing out loud at how stupid this idea is. I mean when you think about it, it really is stupid to play the games on the court. Just think how much better College Basketball would be if there was no tournament. Oh man, I can't wait for the day when this tournament no longer exists and we can have a basketball BCS. That will really be a good day for the sports world.
Let's be honest. The BCS clearly has the best system. A system based on playing games on the field is laughable. The computers know best. They definitely can predict who the best teams are, even if they have never played each other. Putting those teams against each other would be a mistake because that way, we wouldn't need the computers!!! And we all know that computers are very important in life. So, based on this logic, the actual game of football is not the best way to figure it out. One of the best things in college football is the bowl games. You cannot forfeit those in order to have a champion. It would be much too big of a sacrifice to drop the bowl games in order to have a real champion! HA! Removing bowl games in order to have a champion! That would be really stupid. So, no one complain about this system. After all, it is based on the computers!!! OOOooooo

Don't be misled by popular headlines and succumb to the two symptoms of hysteria: perception and proportion. Every weekend in College Football is your damn playoff, Jamie.
Take Texas’ playoff matchup this weekend, for instance. A loss inevitably sends them flying back to Austin shaking their heads in disgust as hopes of a national championship bid have now vanished; a win carries them to the next round in a minimizing schedule of games leading to the National Championship against the SEC Champ. In order to keep playing for the NC, they must keep winning. How is that not a playoff?
Oregon lost last weekend, they no longer have a chance to play for the National Championship…The loser of the SEC Championship will have zero odds of playing for the Crystal Football… Sounds like a playoff system to me?
If no acceptance of my argument is warranted, understand that you must win big games in College Football to make it to the big game. Substance over form, actuality over practicality, whatver, my premise is rooted in the excitement that is the BCS. Why else are you talking about it??
Excitement? Did you look at that chart? I can't find anything exciting about that chart. The BCS is a joke, just ask teams like TCU, Boise St., and Cincinnati. That's 3 teams (three (3)) that might be undefeated, not playing for the title, and even possibly, not playing in the BCS at all. HA. No bigger joke than that. Mangino knew what he was talking about a few years ago when he said it's all about $$$.
Win big games? You must not have read that article at the top of this blog post about Boise St. and their attempt to get big games. If you had, you would know that playing big games is not as easy as simply putting it on your schedule. In their case, it's nearly impossible. Read that article, please.
Substance over form, you say? Form is what you thrive on. You believe that form is all you need to win an argument. Substance over form is right and you should take your own advice.
