BCS Just Say No.

This is my public service announcement to the BCS to exclude the Brigham Young Cougars and the Utah Utes. Brett, a friend of mine hates, despises, (think of any other word) non-BCS teams in either football and basketball. He applies this opinion to both sports, "Non-BCS teams should not be involved in the Final Four/BCS what have you, but there is no reason why they should be playing when they are going against weak teams."

Basketball in my opinion, its a playoff to get to the Final Four and you arent playing easy opponents to get there. Although for football, its all based off who you play. So you are telling me that right now BYU is worth a BCS game when their toughest game has been UCLA whose a mid-level Pac-10 team. Now Utah is a different animal because they did go to Michigan to play despite the Wolverines being a mid-level Big 10 team and the Oregon State Beavers did beat USC but they still arent a top 25 team. Nonetheless, Utah at least has played two solid opponents to BYU one decent opponent.

Nevertheless, whoever wins the game between these two teams shouldnt be in one of the five BCS bowl games. Both of these teams might be top 3 in the Pac-10 but they arent one of the top ten teams in the nation by any means. Boise State who was the originator (sidenote I dont even count Utah's first time because the Pitt Panthers were just as worthless so it doesnt count) of this whole thing and they made everyone believe that a non-BCS team could beat a top-tier team any day of the week. In my opinion, you play this game 10 times, Oklahoma wins 9, it was just that Rick Moranis "One Time". It was a phenomenal effort and an amazing win but it didnt give me a huge reason to believe every year needed one of these teams. Just take a look at Hawaii, they are the bad example of this and if one of these teams gets in this year, it could be the exact same thing which if that were to happen, it will probably almost end this whole talk of getting a non-BCS team in the BCS Championship series.

Lets just hope they all lose for the sake of good football.
