BCS is Bullshit

I just read an article by Dan Wetzel that piqued my interest and ire. According to Wetzel, Boise State has been trying to schedule a non conference opponent from a "major" conference for an open date on Sept 3, 2011. So far no takers. Why? BCS schools do not want to have Boise come to their house and embarrass them. Then when it comes time to dole out BCS bids, the outcry is "Boise State does not play a tough enough schedule." That is crap. While true their schedule is not that tough, there is so much parity in the college game that a good WAC, CUSA or Mountain West team could easily surprise a top SEC team. I would put Fresno State up against anybody at this point and of course Boise can beat any team in the country on a good day. The Pac 10 and Big 10 are perhaps only marginally better than the WAC in talent level so what is the problem? It is cowardice and collusion. According to Wetzel; Mr Harvey Perlman of Nebraska dissed the University of Utah program when confronted with the BCS question before Congress. Apparently he insinuated that Utah did not deserve to play for the BCS championship because they did not play a tough enough schedule. Mr. Perlman should look around. The Big Twelve and Nebraska in particular is not all that special either. Mr. Wetzel also points out that Nebraska has an open date, ironically just when Boise is looking for a "quality" opponent. Here is your chance to prove your point Mr. Perlman; or are you just a loudmouth? Don't be a pussy Harv. Schedule up.
