Phew, a busy week hath produced a late post on week 6, but nonetheless here we go:
-The BCS has got trouble (right here in River City!): Ooops. the BCS is getting itself into the mess it didn't want. Alabama lost to South Carolina and Ohio State and Oregon have ridiculous schedules looming. Oklahoma might get through the regular season unscathed, but it is doubtful that LSU and Auburn will. There is also the issue of the Big-12 Championship game, which may eliminate a title hopeful of either the Sooners or Nebraska. The BCS's nightmare of TCU and Boise State both going undefeated, and no one else accomplishing it, is on the horizon. What is a BCS-er to do? Here are the questions a BCS-er must ask himself/herself:
1) Is a one loss Alabama or SEC team better than TCU and/or Boise State?
2) Is a one loss Ohio State or Oregon better than TCU and/or Boise State?
3) What about if Auburn, LSU, or even Michigan State go undefeated? Will they leap the Broncos and Horned Frogs who have taken a firm seat on the BCS totem pole's pinnacle?
4) Then there is Utah, if they beat TCU and go undefeated, shouldn't they replace TCU and jump all one loss teams?
5) Nevada is the same as Utah, but in the WAC.
6) Does a 1-loss Boise State or TCU get a BCS berth?
The Road to this years championship is being paved with disaster for the BCS-ers....People talk about a playoff, but the regular season is the playoff. The College Football regular season means everything, which is what makes it so exciting, but what happens when the formula goes wrong? Can anyone outside of Idaho and Fort Worth really think a MWC or WAC team deserves the BCS Championship game more than a 1-loss SEC team or 1-loss Big Ten team? It is another discussion for a later post.
-In other news, Michigan lost, Arizona lost (picked!), and nothing else exciting happened
