Now we can certainly debate whether multiple BCS entries really helps the Big Ten, which consequently faces tougher postseason matchups in a bowl system that has several built-in disadvantages for the league. But from a financial and a competitive standpoint, the current setup certainly benefits Jim Delany and the conference.
I can assure you if the Big Ten expanded and held a championship game, you wouldn't see multiple BCS entries as often. - Senator Blutarsky: Like the swallows to Capistrano...
They made the BCS selections yesterday, so you know what that means.
John Feinstein is very, very unhappy.
...
It is my fervent hope that we never see John Feinstein and Ari Fleischer debate this issue. Because I’m afraid that if we did, millions of Americans would promptly lose complete interest in college football forever.

Bryan Burwell from StlToday.com goes off on the bcs “BCS gets it wrong again”
Fight Tigers Fight!
I actually passed on that one...
…as I’m getting fatigued on the columns simply saying that the BCS failed because it once again couldn’t figure out how to get 3-4 teams on the same field for the national title game. I was all for TCU making it, and I think Cincy had a case too (and technically Boise), but anytime there are more than two undefeated teams, we get 15 columns about how the BCS “failed”…and the only reason it failed was that it could only take two teams.
Then again, I rarely pass on posting a link, so I probably should have anyway just to start a debate. :-)

and to add to the debate...

Perhaps if you had the solution to this conundrum
like I do, then you would have posted the link. It’s very simple and would require a minor construction job, but I think it would be worth it to determine a true national champion. What you do is this: You open the edges of a stadium and construct a stadium cross-wise to the existing stadium. (Hidden benefit: Increased seating capacity. More tickets!) You then have 2 teams playing on one of the fields… and the other two on the other. Losing teams will rotate at each quarter. If both games are at midfield at the same time, it would be legal for any player to hit any other player on any opposing team. National Champion is the team that scores the highest cumulative score total with slight adjustment for come-from-behind quarterly victories following rotations. Done. Problem solved.

I know I'm biased against KU
but why in the hell would Houston Nutt want to move from a football-crazed SEC school to a basketball-crazed Big 12 North school? Particularly since he apparently already gets paid more than Mangino did this year? I mean, I could understand why he might want to work a KU interview to get a raise out of Ole Miss, but actually moving wouldn’t make a lick of sense to me.
Aaaand now I see
that if I just would have clicked on the link in the sidebar of the story, Nutt has already declined interest 12 hours after the original Star article was posted. Awesome.
I hope KU puts Urban Meyer on their list next. I could get used to this.

But then...
… what do we do with future KU coaches Ron Prince and Ron Zook?
by RPT on Dec 8, 2009 9:39 PM CST up reply actions
If you combine them
and create Prince Zook, combine their salaries, and you’ve got a savings of around $300,000 per year and 100 pounds over Mangino…
