The BCS is Nothing More Than a Gathering of Asshats

LSU vs. Ohio State in the National Championship game? Not to say that this wont be an entertaining game, but a two-loss team against a one-loss team just doesn't equal a true champion to me. It does seem logical to give Les Miles (a Michigan alum, and candidate for a future Michigan head coach) a chance to kick Ohio State's ass, but perhaps an undefeated team like Hawaii deserves a shot.
The other bowl games should be pretty exciting too. Oklahoma vs. Pat White and West Virginia will no doubt be a great match-up. Hawaii gets a shot at a SEC powerhouse, the Georgia Bulldogs, who ended their regular season with six consecutive wins. No doubt that will be a thrilling game. Despite Arizona State's resilience this season they concede the PAC-10 title to USC who will face Illinois in the Rose Bowl. I think I'm more excited to see the Texas/Arizona State game in the Holliday Bowl though. Perhaps that is my regional bias coming through.
This season has been insane, and it just goes to show that a tournament is needed to find a true champion. Maybe the asshats in the BCS will figure this out some day.
