I Don't Like the BCS


I don't like the Bowl Championship Series. Yeah, I know, no real shocker there. What college football fan likes the BCS? Well, I don't like the Bowl Championship Series for a different reason that most. I miss the the excitement of New Year's Day. The BCS took the most important bowl games away from me on January 1st under the premise that we would get an undisputed national champion. Well, that didn't happen this year, and the bowl games on New Year's Day, with the exception of the Cotton Bowl, were of no interest to most people. I loved getting up on January 1st to watch the parades, and then I spent the day watching the Cotton Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Rose Bowl, and the Orange Bowl. It was the best day of the year for college football fans. We don't have that anymore, and we don't have an undisputed national champion. I say that's a lose-lose for college football fans. I don't want a playoff in Division 1 football. I want the old bowl system. I want the excitement of New Year's Day back in my life.
