Well, with the bowl season coming up, I decided to revive this discussion. So, what do you think of the BCS bowl pairings (and other pairings, too)?
Personally, I think it's pretty messed up. As glad as I am to see a traditional Big Ten-Pac 10 matchup in the Rose Bowl, USC really got the shaft from the BCS. To be ranked #1 in both polls and not make the championship game shows that the BCS has failed. I think the only fair way to go, while keeping the bowl system, is to have a one or two round playoff after the bowl season, taking the top two or four bowl winners, to play for an actual championship. That way, bowls like the Rose Bowl can keep their traditional matchups, but there's no risk of a split championship, or any other funky results like this year's.
That being said, however... I'm VERY excited for the Rose Bowl. Yesterday's results should only make it more interesting. I can't wait to go to Pasadena and beat the Trojans
I've been given a mission by a certain UCLA student (*cough* Kristina *cough*), so I can't let her down
