Told You It Works

Last night Pizza Parlor Derek texted me to say he was watching the Fiesta Bowl featuring Boise State again. He previously called the game part of the greatest night of his life.

On behalf of the BCS, I say to PPD, "you're welcome."

Without the BCS there would have been no major bowl for Boise State, it would have been MPC Computers on the Blue turf. And even if there were a 8-team playoff Boise State would have missed out, they were ranked #9. Only through the BCS do small conference teams get the chance to compete against the behemoths (David 2, Goliath 0).



One other thing the BCS gave you this year was the classic between Ohio State and Michigan. Under the old system the game would have still been very important to both schools, but under a playoff, OSU could have rested Troy Smith, Ted Ginn and everyone else and still gotten the #2 seed in a playoff. But because of the unforgiving nature of college football as it is and should be (every game is important), therefore we got our game of the century out of the way in 2006.

Pizza Parlor Derek would have deprived this happy couple (look they're in front of the Statue of Liberty) of their moment in the sun because of his selfish need to crown a mythical national champion.
