The BCS; How Is This Fair?

Anybody who expects me to believe that the BCS system is fair is freaking insane! The BCS is suppose to be the "Great Equalizer" for teams who face tougher schedules. The problem is, it doesn't help them. In fact, it hurts them. The reason I say that is because a team like USC can go out and run up the score against a weak team like Washington, while a team like Georgia or Texas goes out and beats a really tough team by 10 or 14, and USC gets "style points" while a team like Georgia or Texas really doesn't get a whole lot of love. Notice that Texas had to play 4 consecutive games against top 10 teams, while USC, Penn State, and Ohio State combined didn't even play that many top 10 teams. And then you've got Texas Tech, whose schedule was just as brutal. They aren't even going to be in a BCS game because of the way the system is set up. Only two teams per conference are allowed in BCS games.

How is it fair that a team like Texas Tech, who only lost one game(to #3 Oklahoma) is not going to be in a BCS game, while a team like Ohio State, who lost to USC and Penn State(both of which are ranked behind Oklahoma) gets to play in a BCS game? How is it fair that a team like USC, who lost to Oregon State, and realistically only beat two good teams, gets to play in a BCS game, while a team like Georgia, who played against at least 5 ranked teams, and lost to the top 2 ranked teams, doesn't? How is it fair that an ACC and a Big East team get to play in a BCS game when their records are no better than 9-3, while teams with the same records, or in some cases better, don't get the same privilege?

The system is skewed. They're are 5 Big 12 teams, and 3 SEC teams who are ranked better than the potential Big East, ACC, and PAC 10 champions. And while they all go to a BCS game, 3 Big 12 and 1 SEC team ranked better than those potential champions, won't be in a BCS game. In some cases, they may not even play on New Years Day.

What's worse, is that the BCS promotes poor sportsmanship by rewarding those teams that run up the score. These kids are still in school, and they should have good sportsmanship preached to them, not be taught that running up the score is a good thing.

The NCAA needs a playoff system, and they need it NOW!!!!
