BCS = Big time College Stupidity

Take these facts into account, Missouri is
rated number one by the BCS with a record
of 11-1 and their opponents have a winning
percentage of 554. West Virginia is ranked
number two at 10-1 and their opponents have
a 529 winning percentage. Florida has a 9-3
record and is ranked 10th in the BCS polls,
the Holy Grail of polls, but Hawai'i who is 11-0
is ranked 12th because their opponents have
367%, or at least that's the justification that is
used when explaining why they are not ranked
higher.

You play who you play, some of these big time
time programs such as Michigan even put
Division II teams on their schedule and when
they lose it's a travesty. You may argue and
rightfully so, that Hawai'i probably wouldn't
beat a big time school. An argument I made
myself just two weeks ago. However shouldn't
they be given that opportunity being that they
may end their regular season 12-0 if they beat
Washington this week, who by the way despite
their losing record is a so called big time program?
Also keep in mind that last week they beat the
number 17 BCS ranked team in the country,
who at the time had the number three ranked
pass defense in the country, and passing is all
Hawai'i does, and did that night. Boise St a team
that got no respect for the same reason last year
did play in a big time bowl, though not for the
Championship, won the game they weren't
supposed to and managed to finish the year ranked
number three in the BCS, but in this years
preseason rankings again got no respect and were
ranked in the 20's to start an all but impossible
climb to the top.

Lastly the New England Patriots have a shot at
going undefeated this year, but perhaps they to
shouldn't got a shot at their league's crown
because their opponents have a winning percentage
of .452 and a record of 80-97, not to mention they
face the 0-11 Dolphins twice and the 2-9 Jets twice.

It's clear that either the NCAA institute a playoff
system and stopping lying to the public about the
fact that these athletes are students first or they
give teams like Hawai'i a chance to win the brass
ring like everyone else. By the way does the fact
that Division II get to play in a playoff system
make them any less studious?
