There are six unbeaten teams ...
There are six unbeaten teams left in college football and at least 3 of them have no shot at winning a championship. Cincinnati has two interesting games left but a victory in both games wont put them in the title game. Boise St. has to play 3 games and Nevada is their toughest opponent and T.C.U. doesn't have a tough schedule remaining either. The only hope these teams have is if during rivalry week or Championship week 2 of the big three falls. Florida has to play Florida St. Alabama has to play Auburn and Texas has to play Texas A&M. The next big games after that will be Florida and Alabama and Texas probably against Nebraska. Kansas was supposed to be a threat to Texas but they have too much turmoil to get ready for this weekend. The system stinks as I have mentioned before in one of my blogs earlier this fall. Today it was confirmed that there will be no playoff in the near future. I listened to the new head of the B.C.S explain his reasons and I nearly fainted. He not only is a former college player but he really is a big fan of the B.C.S. He said today that he has talked to many players in the past and present and their experience at the Bowl Games were memories that they would never forget. He talked about going jet skiing and having fun at the Orange Bowl and the Bowl experience was amazing. In other words since his team wasn't playing for a championship having a chance to go jet skiing was more important than the game itself. Is he serious? He flat out said that he would be upset if he was a supporter of Cincinnati, T.C.U, and Boise St. if they went unbeaten and did not have a chance to play for a title. Trust me when I say this, THE PUBLIC DOES NOT WANT TO SEE BOISE STATE PLAY T.C.U OR CINCINNATI PLAY ANY OF THE TWO TEAMS EITHER!!!! What is the point? I would much rather see Cincinnati play Ohio St. or T.C.U play the loser of Alabama and Florida on a neutral field. Georgia Tech versus Boise St. would be even cool to see!!! No one wants to play Georgia tech with that triple option clicking. Forget about it!!!We have never had six unbeaten teams this late in the season and if everything goes to plan, there could be 5 teams unbeaten at the end of championship week. God I wish Notre Dame or USC had gone unbeaten just to see what the committee would have done then!!! Notre Dame had chances to beat all of the teams they have lost to this year. They should have beaten Michigan, Navy and had the ball at the goal line against USC. I just could not believe that this man was saying that he would be upset if his team was in the mix and not playing for a title. You would think that would make him want to create a playoff system. He is right on one angle though. Determining who plays in the game would be difficult because not everyone plays the same strength of schedule. Plus if you have want is happening this year 6 teams with an unbeaten record going into the final month of the season, you are panicking because you don't want the fans to think that the B.C.S is fraudulent. We all know that it is and the only reason there will not be a playoff in the future is MONEY!!!! I want his job.. I could create a playoff system right now that makes everyone happy. Plus stop using final exams as an excuse. Division1AA they and Divisions 2 and 3 do a playoff in December. Plus don't bowl games happen during final exams anyways? I believe the bowl season begins in mid December and goes through the end of the month.
You know I won a jet ski on a sports trivia show 6 years ago. I should have kept and rode it so that I would have gotten a feel of what it was like to play in a college football bowl game!!! Damn!!
