Could the Bowl Championship Series fall victim to its own biased design?
BCS Beware!
Let’s take a few lines to recount everything good that the Bowl Championship Series has done for college football:
Oh, wait, I almost forgot–the BCS has done nothing worthwhile for college football.
Last year I extrapolated on a Yahoo! Sports article by Dan Wetzel in [...]

BCS controversies–has there been a year without one? A big thank you to our friends at Sports Management Degrees for the following post, just in time for the launch of the new college football season.
BCS Controversies by Year

The BCS and controversy go together like maize and blue, scarlet and grey, crimson and cream or [...]

We’re roughly two-thirds of the way through the college football regular season, smack dab in the middle of the conference portion of the season, a time when one has come to expect multiple Top 25 showdowns every week. Not so during Week 8, when only two such match-ups existed, and one of those was [...]

Dan Wetzel had a great column on Yahoo! Sports last week entitled “Will Boise blow up BCS?” His treatise is that because of the screwed up nature of how the Bowl Championship Series works, Boise State could accomplish just that feat the BCS was created to prevent–a non-BCS conference school playing in the title [...]

Another college football season has come and gone, and the Florida Gators are the unanimous national champions. I was hoping against hope that the AP would go out on a limb and name Utah #1. Not surprisingly, that possibility didn’t realize, but the Utes did garner the AP’s #2 spot, in the process grabbing an [...]

This is a cross-post of an article I wrote for FierceAndNerdy.com, for whom I will be writing a periodic blogumn. It’s actually an expansion and elaboration of my comments on the title square-off put forth in Nate’s Most Intriguing Bowl Matchups, worth revisiting here on game day.
The first pseudo major sports championship of the year [...]

Every time a team continues to pile on the points long after the game is out of reach, crybabies who belong on hippie communes where competition is forbidden complain about running up the score.
I like running up the score. I believe in running up the score, in demoralizing your opponent so viciously that they trble [...]

Congratulations to the Utah Utes on an undefeated 13-0 season. To complete perfection in such dominating fashion over the highly-ranked and nearly-perfect Crimson Tide… there is no doubt in my mind that the Utes are the true national champions of college football this season. Too bad there isn’t a playoff to prove it, but at [...]

San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl (San Diego, CA – December 23)
#11 TCU Horned Frogs (10-2) vs. #9 Boise State Broncos (12-0)
In my mind, this is easily the most intriguing matchup of the bowl season outside the national championship game itself. Don’t let those two losses for a non-BCS school fool you; TCU has [...]

AT&T Cotton Bowl (Dallas, TX – January 2)

#8 Texas Tech Red Raiders (11-1) vs. #20 Mississippi Rebels (8-4)
Like their Big 12 brethren Oklahoma and Texas, Mike Leach and his Texas Tech squad ended the season with only a single loss. Unfortunately for the Red Raiders, that loss came at the hands of Oklahoma and [...]
