BCS Selection Show

They are decided largely by timing and who plays the best at the right time, rather than by who plays the best throughout the season. So, conference championships, influenced by timing, help decide BCS placements, which are supposed to be a snapshot of the season.

What a minute. Conference championships are decided by timing? I thought conference championship games were determined by the wins/loses to other teams in the conference. LSU won the SEC West because it had the best conference record in the SEC West. Tennessee may have won because of a tie-breaker, but it still came out on top in the SEC East. TIMING HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT! IT DON'T MATTER WHEN YOU WIN OR LOSE A CONFERENCE GAME IT ONLY MATTERS HOW MANY OF THE GAMES YOU WIN.

Going down the list of all the bowl games, I think there are some pretty good match-ups down the line...Michigan vs. Florida (Capital One), Wisconsin vs. Tennessee (Outback), Auburn vs. Clemson (Chick-fil-A), just to name a few.

I'm looking forward to the Sugar Bowl to see just how good Hawaii is.

Think I'll go fishing instead of watching boring bowl games!

haha actually, not a bad idea. I was thinking about going out to my friend's farm and fish/hunt for a few days over winter break. I'll have to schedule it in the heat of the bowl season. Better than watching BC and Mich State or Illinois and SoCal. I won't be making much of an effort to watch many games like I did in the past. I find it hard to believe that the BCS and NCAA really thinks that this system makes more money than another system would. They're missing a bigger gold mine than they have, and they're turning a lot of football fans away.
