I'm pissed off, so I'm going to tell the internet about it. The BCS again boned Boise State from any opportunity to get national recognition. "Well, they lost to TCU and didn't play anybody good all year!" says uneducated college sports fan. They beat the SEC East winner Georgia, additionally they lost to TCU on a missed field goal and TCU (10-2) is a talented team this year. That one loss definitely took them out of the National Champion game, that's completely reasonable but, I expected a good BCS Bowl match up between a decent SEC school like South Carolina (10-2) perhaps Arkansas (10-2) or a Big 12 team like Kansas State (10-2) or Oklahoma (9-3). Nope! Screw that! Y'all are going to play Arizona State (6-6) team who just fired their head coach and has lost to Washington State (4-8) and Arizona (4-8).
I fully respect Chris Petersen's decision on calling out the BCS after waiting patiently for 5 years and posting a record of 44-3 in the regular season and 3-2 in bowl games. Boise State is good dammit! I'm sorry that you can't make money off of a team that no one cares about but at least protect the sanctity of the game and allow the best teams to play each other. Also, I need to clarify that I am not saying Boise State deserves to play for the National Championship, they deserve to be in one of the four other bowl games the BCS hosts.
And now I'll vent on how stupid it is for Alabama & LSU to have a rematch. Very simply Alabama had it's chance and they lost. End of story. Let someone else lose to LSU this year. It makes no sense for two teams from the same conference to play each other, and it makes less sense that it's a rematch. So everyone can get a good mental image of how little sense this makes I'll paint you a picture.
I play my friend Frank in beer pong. Now, me and Frank are really really badass beer pong players, in fact we are so good that I'm #1 in the world according to robot-polls and he's #2 according to that same poll. We play and I beat him in a regular sanctioned beer pong event in my beer pong mansion. My friend Doug is also a very badass beer pong player he's ranked #3 by robots. Unfortunately I don't play Doug very often because I like to play at my sweet ass mansion that I only let really shady people play in and he only plays at his house which is kind of nice but he's got a few poor friends who aren't very established beer pong players.
So the BPCS (Beer Pong Championship Series) gives me a call and says that they are flying me out of my mansion to play beer pong in front of millions of people to prove that I am the best beer pong player in the world this year. I gladly accept and ask who I will be playing. They say Frank. I say, "Well, I've already beaten Frank this year, so I'd rather play Doug. I hear that Doug is pretty damn good this year."
They say, "Well, Sam that guy lost to some dick in Iowa, and so our robot advisers have deduced that Doug sucks ass."
I say, "I've beaten Frank once this year, so if he somehow beats me will we get a third game for the grudge match?"
They say, "Nope, if you lose, you aren't the best beer pong player in the world this year."
Well, I guess I'll play Frank again, but I really think it would have made a lot more sense if I played Doug I thought. Then it hits me! I know what can solve all of our problems! I call the BPCS and say, "Hear me out, I've been watching a lot of baseball, volleyball, basketball, hockey, soccer, chess, handball, 4-square, kickball and cricket, and in those sports they do something called playoffs! It seems like it's pretty smart."
They promptly said, "Don't be an asshole," and hung up. One and half months later I was watching Frank and Doug playing for the National Beer Pong Championship on Fox or CBS or NBC. DAMMIT BPCS!!!!
The End
