Is it just me or is the college bowl situation getting more and more dilute every season? Perhaps it's thanks to the current trend of being "fair" to everyone, everyone gets to participate. I think it draws away from the privilege that bowl games used to seem to afford. It's great for the teams I suppose. A little chump change for the team and a nice trip as long as it's not to East Bumblefuck, Idaho like the Tech bowl game last season. I don't necessarily believe that the current eight consecutive bowl game streak for Tech compares to the six straight in the 50's under Bobby Dodd. Hell, there's even a bowl game sponsored by Vitalis now. I can't even find a website that tells me what the hell Vitalis is. After a few years of whoopin' up on Directional State University, maybe they'll go further down the chain and start letting high school teams into the bowl games.
Anyhow, it seems like Tech has gotten itself into the Champs Sports Bowl, formerly the Carquest Bowl, formerly who the hell knows what? (I'm pretty sure it was the Tangerine Bowl) At least we'll be playing a team from the Big 12 and not Team Congeniality like the last few years. Thank God that Clemson removed themselves from bowl eligibility so we could get an east coast bowl this year.
And talk about some real shit. What the hell is up with Oklahoma being ahead of USC in the BCS computer rankings? Bullshit! I hope to hell that one of those teams loses and Auburn wins this weekend.
I still think that college football needs a bad-ass tournament style championship like basketball has. Start with the top 16 or 32 teams and let them brawl. It's a gambling man's wet dream come true.
