The BCS is the Anti-Christ!

Most people around the country agree, the BCS may in fact be the Anti-Christ. While listening to ESPN “BCS expert analyst” Brad Edwards on the ESPNU pod-cast found within this very website (Page 4), Edwards expressed the fact that there were not any glaring surprises considering the fallout of the BCS in 2007.

I agree whole-heartily, but under a different set of circumstances. The riddle wrapped up inside the enigma, often hidden, or better yet, ignored by even the most astute college football fan, is the fact that the BCS cronies talk about the super alliance of bowls truly only being about a one versus two match-up. This simply is not the case. In fact it is a major smoke screen which fails to illuminate the hidden alliance and agenda within the BCS era.

According to Edwards, the reason why Missouri and Arizona state were left out of the BCS Bowl games is the fact that one, the major bowls do not like to take a team who has lost in their conference championship game, especially one which lost by 21 points to Oklahoma, and two, the BCS Bowls are not out to reward the teams who deserve the marquee games, but are focused primarily on selling the most tickets and corporate advertising.

First of all, these comments would be honorable and acceptable to the majority of the people. However, I can’t believe the fans can’t see through this oligarchic monopoly called the BCS. I can’t help but notice the irony here as the Nebraska Cornhuskers were graciously awarded the opportunity to play for the National Championship in 2002, when they were blown out 62 - 36 by their arch-rivals, the Colorado Buffalos in the last game of the regular season. The Cornhuskers not only didn’t win the Big-12 Championship, but they didn’t even win their division as well.

It was explained back then that if the Cornhuskers played in a conference like the PAC-10, they most certainly would have won the division. Of course, the team that blew out the Huskers in their last regular season game on Friday after Thanksgiving, and won the Big-12 Conference championship a week later, couldn’t hang with PAC-10 champion Oregon in the Fiesta Bowl less than a month later on New Years Day, as the Ducks Col-O-Routed the Buffalos 38-16 to finish second in the national polls that season. The Huskers were down 34-0 at half-time a day later in the BCS National Championship Rose Bowl.
