Laughing at you, BCS.

This is my angry post regarding football this weekend. Not so much regarding the Alabama victory over Georgia in the SEC Championship. I’m not necessarily mad about that game, I’m more distraught about the events that occurred on Sunday night.

The BCS selection committee graced us with their BCS bowl game announcements and if you are thinking along the lines with me, they are disgraceful. I blogged about who I thought should be playing in these games last week over at www.zonedefenders.blogspot.com.

Clearly I do not like the limit of two teams per conference in BCS games. I also find the rule rather unfair to a conference, like the SEC for instance. To be punished as a conference for having more than two good teams is an absolute shame and the BCS should look back and wonder why the rule was even made. Seeing LSU, Texas A&M, Georgia and South Carolina in games other than the Sugar, Rose, Fiesta and Orange is a shame. The schools and conference deserve the recognition that comes with the high-profile games, the money that is earned from a season of hard work, and the chance to square off against a BCS-caliber opponent, again.

Another point into my last one is that Northern Illinois, Wisconsin and Louisville are in BCS games and in my opinion are not the most deserving candidates. Here are my three teams that were robbed.

Oklahoma Sooners lead the way among teams that are most deserving of playing in a BCS game. The Sooners have two losses, both of which are against BCS teams (Kansas State and Notre Dame). Seeing Northern Illinois in place of the Sooners is a shame. Usually for a non-AQ member to make the game they run the table. NIU lost to Iowa in its first game this year. Iowa is the worst team in a Big Ten Conference that is sending a five-loss champion to represent them in the Rose Bowl.

LSU is another team that deserves of a BCS game, since their two losses also came against BCS opponents (Florida and Alabama). LSU lost to Florida on the road and to Bama at home on the last drive of the game. LSU is a team that could beat anybody in the country, especially at home. Besides, who doesn’t like to see the Fighting Tigers take over New Orleans in the Sugar Bowl (goodbye Louisville).

Georgia is the third and final team deserving of a BCS Bowl Game. Lose one game early against South Carolina and then run the table until losing in exciting fashion (coming three yards short) against Alabama in the SEC Championship game. The Dawgs are in the same line as LSU as they could beat any team in the country. After losing to Alabama, Georgia fell four spots in the BCS rankings and got absolutely screwed after a great showing on Saturday. Move over five-loss Wisconsin, your 70 point performance didn't impress me this much. 

All I know, I wouldn’t want to be on the opposing side of these ELITE teams in their non-BCS Bowl Game.

WingMan Out!
