The Best Way to Fix the BCS

Posted in Football, NCAA, tagged , , , , , , , on December 4, 2011 | 2 Comments »


The BCS has once again left us with more questions than answers. I suppose the most pressing question is what are the purposes of the BCS system? Is it to place the two best teams in the National Championship, or the two most deserving? After that is determined, what about the rest of the BCS Bowl Games? Is the goal to put the largest drawing schools together? Is it to put those snubbed Cinderella teams in the spotlight? Is it to what we all believe it’s about, money? Frankly, I’m tired of this and this is how I propose to fix it.

 Ohio St. finally beat an SEC opponent in a BCS Bowl Game, too bad the victory was completely tarnished by the fact the NCAA ruled that the five players suspended for rules violations were allowed to play. All they had to do was promise to come back to the university next season and say they were really, really, really sorry… (more…)

I usually find myself rooting for the underdog if I don’t have a horse in the race. In this year’s college football season, there is an outside chance that the greatest underdog of the BCS era may actually get their shot. Strangely, however, I don’t know if I want to see it. (more…)

I decided to put together a top 10 list of best places to watch a college football game. I wanted to factor in more than just sheer size. Fans bring passion and create atmosphere, and atmosphere is what separates college football from the pro game. So, here we go. (more…)

And the finger pointing begins

Well, the NCAA handed down it’s punishment to the University of Southern California and to say it was harsh is an understatement.

The NCAA has in it’s own words, confirmed allegations that former USC running back and Heisman Trophy recipient Reggie Bush received illegal benefits while in the USC athletic program. (more…)

Colorado to Pac 10, Nebraska to Big 10

Posted in Football, NCAA, tagged , , , , , on June 11, 2010 | 1 Comment »


As previously discussed,  the college football conference shift has begun. The first two pieces of the puzzle have been made official and so far, I am two for two.

On Thursday the University of Colorado made their plans to join the Pac 10 conference official, today the University of Nebraska did the same announcing their commitment to the Big 10 conference.

Posted in Football, NCAA, tagged , , , , , on June 8, 2010 | Leave a Comment »


We’ve all been hearing a lot about the possible expansion of conferences in major college football. Over this past weekend, presidents of both the Pac 10 and the Big Ten held meetings in San Francisco and Chicago, respectively.

The Pac 10 recognizing that they are incredibly top heavy in the conference with only USC being considered an elite level program, made it known that they are actively pursuing an expansion to 16 teams. UCLA, Cal, and Oregon are respected programs, but not the heavy hitter USC is. The other major problem in the Pac 10 is revenue, specifically, there isn’t much of it. Here’s why… (more…)
