The BCS Champion Is The Champion Of Nothing

-  The BCS does not control how the game is played, when it is played, or how long it takes to select a champion.  The school presidents do.

-  The NCAA doesn't care to work with the BCS.

-  The BCS people do not control the system they have in place.  The voting coaches, by contract, must vote for the winner of the BCS title game.  There have been years that the coaches have refused to do so.  Utah received votes last year and USC received votes, including from SEC coaches when a SEC team won the game.

-  The coaches have now made their vote secret.  Now why would that be?

-  The computer people don't work from a set of instructions on how information and what information is fed into their computers.

-  The BCS selects people to be in the Harris Poll who have no experience in sports, but do have experience in making friends.

The NFL has a championship based on their teams playing in controlled schedules.  All of their games mean something, because they cannot play a lower division team.  All of the NFL conferences work from the same rule book.  None of this takes place in the BCS.

I'm a man of common sense.  I had to develop my common sense over decades of experiencing the bumps, bruises, cuts, broken bones, various projectiles to the body, and a knife to the  back.  In other words, I've learned to pay attention.   Therefore, I know that it is only right to offer a recommendation after making a complaint.

Scrap the BCS.  Tear it down.  Throw the people and papers out.  Sell the furniture and buildings.  Cancel the phone service.  Don't hand out severance pay, because none of the employees earned a darn thing.  Do the same thing to the Harris and computer people.

Next, return to the AP and Coaches' Polls.  They are as close to anyone you would call an expert on college football.  Let them crown their own National Champion. 

The school presidents, bowl committees, and associated communities will love it.

Currently, there is no "Bowl Championship Series."  There are just two teams selected by the most faulty method known to man.  Just two teams out of 120.  The winner of that game is a "champion" of nothing.
