We Are All BCS Experts

There is a big brew-ha going on right now because the name of Condoleezza Rice has been mentioned to serve on the BCS playoff committee.  There are those that say she is a woman and knows nothing about sports.  There are plenty of reason  but except for being a women every reason could apply to any one.

She doesn't know about all the teams and my answer to that is who does?  Who can possibly know everything about every team.  Let's just use local high school football as an example. I know a lot about the teams in the Edgecombe, Nash and Wilson counties, but I know nothing about say Franklin
high or Newton Conover.  Just look at the Heisman voting.  The winner always dominates the voting in his section of the country and gets little from other areas.  The winners most of the time had just enough votes from the other areas to win.  The reason for that is we have no idea who the best player California is so we are not going to vote for someone we don't know anything about.  If you rely on TV experts to tell you, you might as well  draw out of a hat for what TV knows. They are going to promote what they  are pushing for what they want to show on TV.

Remember that the BCS will only have four teams and that in itself is a fallacy  of the system.  There are six BCS conferences and five other D-1leagues being left out in the cold.  Why worry who's on the committee because nobody knows all the teams.  Let's have a 16 team playoff with all 11 conferences champions in and let the computer tell us who are the best five teams not a conference champion.  Those that don 't make the BCS can go play in all the other bowl games

We are a people who wants instant gratification. The Bible says because of the sins of Adam and Eve all the rest of us that have been born since have been punished with sin. The pursuit of power is  one of those sins.  Why is the BCS such a mess and it hasn't even been put in place as of yet.  The reason just look at the power seekers who will do what ever they need to do to get what they want.  Sounds a lot like our federal government doesn't it?  The president right on down the line there is the power seekers willing to destroy their own country to get what they want, more power.
