Gotta love the BCS
The BCS has spoken.
It's message - I'm outdated.
This is the only thing that we can conclude from the fiasco that is the end to the 2006 college-football season.
Voters in the Harris and coaches polls decided that they didn't want an Ohio State-Michigan rematch - with all due respect to Florida, that's why the Gators were given the title-game spot with the Buckeyes.
You want proof of that? You need to look no further than the computers - which had the Wolverines and Gators tied for second behind Ohio State.
It was the leapfrog maneuver that the voters in the Harris Poll and coaches poll used to move Florida ahead of Michigan that put the 12-1 Gators ahead of the 11-1 Michigan team.
Somehow, some way, Michigan got worse on Saturday despite not having played a down.
That, or Florida's 38-28 win over Arkansas wasn't as sloppy as it appeared to be to me.
I don't know, blowing a 17-0 lead and regaining momentum only when your opponent fumbles a punt inside the 3-yard line doesn't come across as noteworthy to me.
But I digress.
This is what the BCS gives us, ladies and germs - endless debates over the merits of this one-loss team or that one, ruminations over whether hot two-loss teams like LSU or Virginia Tech might not be getting the short end of the stick ...
Alas, the idiots-that-be in charge of college football seem to think this is what passes for an end to their season.
My message to the BCS - nothing personal, but drop dead.
