As another season of college football comes to an end, the BSC has left players, coaches and teams upset…again. A sign to another successful topsy-turvy season.
Pat Forde, senior sportswriter for ESPN, has pin-pointed the plays and teams that made this BCS selection difficult as always. His article, “Controversy constant along annual twisting BCS path,” does a good job of discussing not only the controversial decision to leave Texas out of the championship game, but also the teams that failed to live up to the hype and those that went above it.
December and January will be full of excited bowl games, beginning Dec. 20 at 11 a.m. ET when Wake Forrest takes on Navy in the EagleBank Bowl. The final conclusion of the season will take place on Jan. 8 at 8 p.m. ET with a battle between the Florida Gators and the Oklahoma Sooners for the BSC National Championship.

The BCS got it right once again!!! — that is right in accordance with their rules, criteria, and objectives. Now, their objectives and the want of the fans don’t match, but that does not mean they are wrong.
Remember … the BCS is NOT about picking a champion … never was and still isn’t.
