Sports and Politics

Believe it or not, CNN wrote a really good article about the BCS and how politicians from the loosing side, like some from Utah or Texas, have tried to dismantle it and install a play off to determine the national championship. So we should all know that Florida won the (air quote) national championship (air quote) last night, even though USC destroyed their oponet and Utah was undefeated ... UNDEFEATED and slaughter former #1 Alabama. It make your head want to burst open. what the hell does Utah have to do to win a nation championship? This is the second time they went undefeated and got left out of the title game. Politicians have seen the injustice and perhaps have heard moans from their electorate and are now answering the call and taking up the fight in the way politicians fight: talk, bills, hearings, and whining. Even the president-elect, Barak Obama, is not a fan of the BCS and wants to "throw some weight around."

I really want a play off, but I really like the bowl setup, just not how the champion is determined. I love all the bowl games, each matchup intrigues me, but we have got to have at least one more game, like Utah vs. Florida, for me to be convinced that the champion is really the champion. If it takes some politicing, or even the president, to make it happen, then make it happen because it's time.
