A Playoff Is Coming
If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times: the SEC has won the current BCS system. After Auburn got left out of the title game 2004, SEC partisans relentlessly pushed the idea that it was ludicrous to exclude the champion from the nation's best conference if it was one of the worthy...

BCS Two Team Conference Limit Helps The Pac-12
Knock-knock. Who's there? The BCS. ... Yeah, that's it, that's the joke. The BCS is a pretty big joke, and it makes perfect sense that it would be the process to reward an dystopian institution like big-time college football. But for the near future it's the corrupt and malignant process we're...
