The BCS got it right

Although everyone likes to pile on the BCS for their screwjobs of worthy teams, this year they got it right. Despite the circumstances of the Big XII South, a decision was made, agreed upon and executed. Dan Beebe, The Big XII Commissioner, is going to look into the tiebreaker rule in the Big XII. That's not a problem to me. Texas may have beaten Oklahoma on the field, but they didn't beat Texas Tech. If they would have beaten Texas Tech and then Missouri in the Big XII Championship, we wouldn't have this problem. It was decided on the field. If you didn't let Micheal Crabtree high wire to the end zone, you would be in Miami without any arguments. The same argument can go for Texas Tech. If they didn't lay an egg like they did in Norman, The Red Raiders would be in Miami. The only decision I questioned at first was the selection of Ohio St. After looking at the remaining eligible teams, I've decided to cease my argument. Boise St.'s strongest opponent was Oregon and everyone else was weak. Putting the Broncos in the BCS vs. Texas would have been a bad move. It would have made Colt Brennan and Hawai'i blush. What about Utah? Why not? They beat quality teams who have beaten quality opponents. Why do you deny Utah? I think Utah and Alabama will be a good game. Alabama played a hell of a game against Florida only to come up short in the 4th quarter.

Everyone cries for a playoff. I've said it before, I'll say it again. I think it's hypocritcal and bias when people screamed about Nebraska (2001), Oklahoma (2003), and Georgia (2007) not winning their conference or division, but it's OK if Texas played for the NC. I think it's ridiculous. I know in other divisions there are teams that don't win their conference playing the playoff. My argument is If you're going to cry foul that a team that didn't win their conference shouldn't play for a national title, it's not OK for Texas. It was a sticky situation. You have three good teams in the Big XII South and they happen to be tied, in the Top 10 and competing for a National Title. What can you do? Move Oklahoma to the North? Then what if Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas have the same situation years from now. These tiebreakers are more rare than you think. When was the last situation of this magnitude? It was 2003 with Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. The BCS decided that Georgia would play for the SEC Championship, only to get whacked by eventual champion LSU.

In conclusion, The BCS got it right. The teams that are playing in the BCS are worthy and we should just sit back and enjoy the games. I'm not a fan of the BCS, but I'm not letting my emotions overshadow my logic. It was the right decision to make.
