37. I do agree with a good handful of your points
especially the BCS system...I hate/loathe the BCS system. I hate the fact that some teams seem to get a cake walk season, and go to a high bowl game, and then get creamed...and the bias in College Football is pretty apparent in a good number of cases...I even had issue with OU playing Washington St. in the Rose bowl that year, I thought for sure, OU vs Georgia, and Mich vs Washington st, where pac-10/big 10 usually meet up.

OU who I, and many others thought, would play Georgia, got Washington St. for some strange reason, now why is that? I don't understand the BCS, its contradicts itself so much, I cannot even explain it, without getting a head ache. OU did blow Wash st out of the water, I watched half that game and I knew W. ST was complete toast....

So far this year has been pretty decent, as far as cross/division games go, and I would hope that they implement some sort of play off system soon. Its sad that if you lose 1 game...your season is pretty much toast, what a shame that is. And, last year, or the year before we had three undeafted teams at the end, wait...four...USC, Okla, Georgia, and Utah St I believe...now, with 4 undeafted teams, I think its a farce that they can't all play for the national title...but instead we delve into

"this division is weak, and that pac 10 is weaker, but the big 12 didn't do this or that, or SEC didn't do this or that" type of debate. I believe that there are some influence that certain college teams have on the BCS system, some people say its a computer, and it tabulates blah blah blah, but I don't buy it for a minute. I haven't been a college football fan for long, maybe 10 yrs tops, but I see serious flaws in the BCS, and I would love to have a playoff type system...I cannot even think of another major sport, who doesn't have a play off system in place....so, why does College Football get a pass on that?

Sorry, I didn't mean to give the impression I was ranting on you at all, I just got caught up in BCS bashing, so please forgive me...:)
