1. The system does create some perverse incentives.

The conflicts are more apparent in the minor conferences that don't have guaranteed BCS spots, but they can also exist in the major conferences as they try to obtain bowls with higher payouts. For instance, the Big Ten would lose big if Ohio State loses this weekend.

3. The good fortunes of any Big 10 team are none of my concern.

However, when a team throws a game because of the financial implications then it degrades the integrity of the game for everyone.

That's good!

5. As well I...

Figure it out!! I do not gamble either and it is not even sports related!!



Of course with the potential of The Ohio State University in BCS Championship is also good for me!!

6. Nice post, trumad. You did notice that The Ohio Oil Company is sponsoring the game!!

7. Have I mentioned to you that Marathon's research center used to be here in Denver?

What a bust!
