BCS is a Joke

I used to live in Arizona and am a huge Arizona Wildcats fan. I hate schools like USC and Cal but when it comes to bowl games it is all about Pac-10 pride. I am slowly being innoculated into the Big Ten Conference and the Iowa Hawkeyes now that I live in Iowa.

But the travesty that happened to Cal is down right criminal. First you have Cal beating teams by an average of 23 points a game and their only loss was on the road and by 6pts to USC. Cal was ranked 4th all year long yet is shut out of the BCS because Mack Brown of Texas went begging for votes.

"If you've got a vote, vote for us," Brown said, pleading directly to voters in The Associated Press writers poll. "I'm asking you to do that and I'm asking everyone across the nation. This team deserves to be in the BCS. They deserve to go more than some teams that are being talked about."

And Cal still played another game and won while Texas sat idle. Yet Cal was bumped by Texas. Maybe it should of been known at the time he was begging that Mack Brown gets a $50,000 bonus for getting a BCS berth.

The other thing going on is making votes public to see who is voting for the financial gains of a conference over who is really the better team. I feel sorry for Auburn as well but they will atleast reap the financial rewards of a BCS berth to the tune of #17.5 million or so. Cal will only recieve $4.7 million.
