College football update

I didn't get a chance to post on college football games since I watched so many.

Now that the BCS selections are over, let me make these comment. If you ever wondered about leagues fixing games, you need only watch the WVU - Pitt game.

There were three absolutely horrible calls against Pitt, a personal foul and two holding calls. It was truly a travesty. It was patently clear the officials were out to game it so WVU could get into the title game.

We'll finally see how OSU performs against a non conference team not from NE Ohio. What, couldn't the BCS choose John Carroll as OSU's opponent?

I'm still trying to figure out how a team that was fourth last week (Georgia) went to fifth when they didn't play and two teams in front of them lost.

How do you choose LSU over Oklahoma or USC? For that matter, how about Hawaii who didn't lose to a D-1 team all year.

The BCS is the worst thing in college sports. While college presidents like to hide behind "we think that the possibility of a playoff adds too many games to the schedule", the fact is, they had no problem adding a twelfth game for all teams and conference championship games and the like.

They also conveniently forget that all the other divisions in college football play playoff games and that most of the games will be played during campus shutdowns.

If you ever wondered how the current system exists, just answer money.... the same reason the Big East tried to screw Pitt Saturday night.
