BS not BCS

Okay I know I have been lacking this week in updating I will get to that tomorrow or sometime this weekend. The big news from this past weekend, ISU won and is now bowl eligible and Iowa lost at OSU. The real reason why I am writing this is because I am very unhappy about the state of the BCS and it's leaders.

I was listening to an interview by Dan Patrick with the Director of the BCS Bill Hancock. This guy is a complete tool and obviously has the big companies in his pocket. When Mr. Patrick asks him why they can't have a "Final Four" playoff between the teams that are left undefeated at the end of the regular season. Mr Hancock basically replies saying that the "Big" teams are the ones that will be in the Championship game and everyone else deserves a pat on the back and a congratulations on a great season while they are shipped off to a less important bowl. He also claims that a playoff would completely ruin the bowl system. DUDE IT WOULDN'T!!! All you have to do is take the teams that are left undefeated from every BCS conference and put them into a play off at these bowls just move the dates around. For example this year you would put whoever wins the SEC (granted they are all undefeated) against TCU, and Texas against Boise State. you could put the SEC vs TCU game in say the Fiesta Bowl and the Texas BSU game in say the Orange Bowl. Hold these games say December 23rd or something after finals but before Christmas. Then you have the winners of those games play in the Rose Bowl on New Years Day to crown a national champion. The only reason why this couldn't work is because the ones with the big money don't want the current system to end and think it isn't broken, or use their money to convince themselves and others that it isn't broken.

Oh keep in mind that this director use to run the Men's Basketball Final Four. If you really want to get your blood boiling then hop on itunes, go to podcast's section and download the November 18th 2009 third hour, the interview starts a couple minutes in. I think this subject would be much more popular and heated in this state had Iowa gone undefeated and ended up not playing for the national championship.

Well how was that for a rant? Moving on. Iowa hosts Minnesota which will be a probable win for them, and Iowa State heads down to Columbia to take on the Missouri Tigers. This is an interesting match up that in my opinion if we show up and play like we can and stay focused we will be able to come out of town with a win and finish 7-5...take that Chizik. GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!

p.s. there is no 'z' in Missouri.
