BCS Discrimination Continues

The Bowl Championship Series...(Freedom Dawg translation...Bull Crap System), known to college football fans across the country as the BCS, has been in existence since 1998. During the last 12 years, the BCS, an organization equivalent to the "whites only need apply" groups that existed in the Civil Rights era, continues to declare that the college football teams from its fraternity of elitism are the only ones worthy of being national champions. Who are the annointed leagues that are considered good enough to be favored by this KKK'esque type of organization known as the BCS? They are the ACC, the Big East, the SEC, the PAC-10, the Big Ten, and the Big Twelve.

So why have the teams of these six leagues been so willing to sell their collective souls to become elitists willing to spit in the eye of their fellow football brothers? Why is it that they don't cry for equality and justice for all-Automatic Qualifier and Non-Automatic Qualifier(AQ)teams alike? The answer is two-fold. First they have bought into the false idea that no one outside of the AQ leagues can be as good as those within the elite fraternity; Second, the MONEY is just too much of a temptation to resist. When the BCS jingled the 20 pieces silver, they all cried out, "please, please, I want to be the next Judas Iscariot."

Much to the relief of the BCS this year, there were two undefeated teams from the ranks of the Automatic Qualifiers. They are the Auburn Tigers and the Oregon Ducks. These two will meet next month for the BCS National Championship in Glendale, AZ. But wait, wasn't there another college football team that went undefeated? Yes! The Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University, and they won in dominant fashion all year long. But according to the BCS supremacists, TCU doesn't belong in the Big Game because they play in the inferior Mountain West Conference. Gosh, I guess we all should have seen that one coming.

So what is a team like TCU supposed to do to overcome BCS Discrimination? Well this one appears to have been already answered. TCU accepted an Invitation to join one of the annointed AQ leagues; The Big Easy, uh, I mean the Big East. For whatever reason, the Big East must feel that adding an overrated team from the weak Mountain West Conference just might bolster it's sagging credibility. Trust me, Auburn and Oregon are thanking their lucky stars that this didn't happen a couple of years ago, otherwise one of them could possibly be feeling the cold for having been left out of the Big Game. The University of Utah has also accepted an invitation to join an annointed league with an automatic bid to a BCS bowl; the Utes are off to the PAC-10. But why is this happening now? To understand why we need to back up a few years.

Not long after the BCS began its Darwinian method of natural selection to determine who would play for the national championship, you could hear the cries for a playoff system become louder and louder. No matter how good a Non-AQ team was it would never be considered for a BCS Bowl. In response to the ever increasing pressure from the outside, the BCS decided to throw out a bone for the undefeated Non-AQ teams. The bone being an opportunity to play in a BCS bowl other than the national championship game.

In the majority of these games, to the chagrin of the BCS supremacists, the Non-AQ team actually beat the annointed elite team from the AQ ranks. The most pivotal game, in my opinion, came in January 2009 when the Utah Utes took on Alabama, sweetheart of the SEC. I joined the game late into the first quarter thinking that I probably hadn't missed much. Man, was I ever wrong. The scoreboard read Utah "14" Alabama "0". Three plays later, the Utes scored again and never looked back. In the end, Utah, the champions of the 2nd rate Mountain West Conference rolled the BCS elite, Alabama, in dominating fashion 31 to 17.

Imagine, Utah in a BCS Bowl, Awesome! Utah winning big over an SEC opponent, thrilling. The chance to see the faces of Crimson Tide fans, even the pretty Southern Bells, stunned, silent, dazed, and bewildered at the their team's ineptness against the MWC champion-Priceless!!

The Utes were very fortunate to get to the Sugar Bowl. They were able to stay undefeated in league play thanks to the TCU place-kicker who missed two simple field goals in the closing minutes of the TCU-Utah game. Had either kick gone through the uprights it would have been TCU not Utah pounding Alabama.

The 2009/2010 Bowl season didn't make it any easier on the BCS supremacists. Not just one, but two Non-AQ teams went undefeated and neither of them were push-overs. How was the BCS going to exclude these two teams from the chance to play in the Big Game? Simple, throw them a BCS bone and have them play against each other. The reason they pitted TCU against Boise State was to prevent another Utah vs Alabama humiliation. The BCS elitists had learned their lesson from the last Sugar Bowl, and they weren't about to let that happen again. The possibility of not just one, but two of the annointed teams getting skunked was totally unacceptable. This was BCS damage control at it's best.

So here we are with the 2010/2011 college football bowl season just weeks away, and nothing has changed. Thanks to the supremacists of the Bull Crap System we already know that the National Champions will be either the Auburn Tigers or the Oregon Ducks. Oh! the suspense of not knowing who will win it all is just killing Freedom Dawg of www.freedomdawg.com March Madness has nothing on the BCS. Heck if college basketball was smart, it would do their post season play just like the BCS. We can only hope, right? To know what else Freedom
