Dr. Hak's Last College Football Blog of the Season

For those of you who hate all these sports blogs I'm here to tell you - your prayers have been answered. There will be no more college football blogs this season. Except maybe for a New Year's Day Bowl Special but I doubt that since nearly all the bowls involve teams who don't want to be there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well there you have it. The college football regular season is over.
Ohio State vs Florida for all the marbles
January 8th in Glendale, AZ
And you know what?
This is some bullshit.
I was all prepared to say hey! Florida deserves a shot at the Buckeyes. They did what they had to do and are 12-1, SEC Champions.
But then I read this artcile entitled "Michigan was Robbed"
And then I read Lloyd Carr's comments (or saw them on SportsCenter) and he made one really really good point...
If USC had beaten UCLA, and Florida had still beaten Arkansas...Would Michigan THEN have been ranked behind Florida?

SH*T NO!

Thus, the Wolverines were robbed. And there in lies the entire fallacy with the BCS. Here we have an example of voters manipulating the poll to get a certain matchup in the championship game as opposed to RANKING the teams. So until they institute at the very minimum - a plus one system - this won't go away.

In fact, Let's see how a plus one system would've worked this year
Jan 1 - Rose Bowl - #1 Ohio State v #5 USC
Jan 1 - Sugar Bowl - #2 Michigan v #3 Florida
Jan 1 - Fiesta Bowl - #10 Oklahoma v #4 LSU
Jan 2 - Orange Bowl - #14 Wake Forest v #6 Louisville
Jan 8th - BCS Title Game - Sugar Bowl Winner v Rose Bowl Winner

So anyway...I don't know what I'm here to say. I guess that's it. Congrats to the Gators...who DO deserve to play in the title game despite the shady way it came about. I wish they could schedule each other for next season. I dare Lloyd Carr to tell Urban Meyer on national TV that he'll take the Wolverines TO THE SWAMP to start next season if he's man enough to accept...
