Tom Dienhart's latest Sporting News "Blog Fog" (http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news;_ylt=AnQbuakwCS6BGyBENNFRwXccvrYF?slug=blogfo gsendoutsearchpart&prov=tsn&type=lgns) starts badly...
1. Are you enjoying this "playoff"? That's what has been going on all season, people. And, it has been terrific. Admit it. Embrace it. Love it. March Madness is three weeks. This is three glorious months.
Well it's been glorious, alright. But it would have been more glorious with a playoff system at the end. And try telling unbeaten-but-not-#1 KU that every game is a playoff!
Of course Dienhart more or less admits this in his second point...
2. What's the $64,000 question? If Kansas finishes unbeaten -- and Oregon and LSU win out -- will the Jayhawks leap one to earn a spot in the BCS title game? Fascinating.
Gaaah! If there's any question whether or not an undefeated team from a BCS conference makes the BCS title game over any once defeated team from a BCS conference every game is NOT a playoff. I'm so friggin' sick of BCS apologists.
(takes deep breath)
But we're stuck with the BCS this year (and for the foreseeable future) and Dienhart's column picks up as it goes along...
9. Am I the only one who feels somehow, some way, Oklahoma is going to wind up in the BCS title game?
You most certainly are not, Tom. You may be an idiot about the BCS system, but you have good instincts about who'll end up on top!
And I gotta agree with this, too...
17. Give up 76 one week; score 73 the next? Way to go, Bill Callahan. But, you still can't keep your job.
:D
