I'm not going to go in depth with this issue, because I know Hoogs has been formulating a post on this topic for a while, but I felt I had to share this article with everyone. This one is through SI.com, but ESPN and Foxsports also do similar things each year during the lull between conference championship weekend and the BCS Bowls. NEWSFLASH: the media wants a playoff! It'd be like basketball! I love basketball! Let's make football like basketball! I also like eating and sex! Next time in a restaurant, I'm going to drop trout and bone my Heart of Texas Burger.
But I digress. Why this particular article infuriates me is that the media is desperate to push a playoff down our throats, even though they refuse to consider any logistics or implications of switching systems, yet even in a playoff they'd still want the exact same match up! It's the part of the BCS that no one seems to bring up. Many people want a playoff, but at the end of the day, they still want to see the exact match up the BCS comes up with each year. This year:
we as a nation apparently still want to see Oklahamo-Florida. Last year, everyone wanted to see LSU in the championship over #2 ranked VA Tech (yes, they were the next choice for the championship game, USC was off everyone's radar until the Rose Bowl. Same with Georgia). If the match up is good, that's what matters, and I'm really excited for this game.
