BCS ATROCITY

By Scott Daniels, Esq., NFL Draft Bible

By now we have heard every argument on the planet that rationalizes the need for a playoff in college football. The BCS doesn't work. Nothing new. But after the BCS draw was announced last week, the formula should be illegal.

I'm not going to discuss Ohio State allegedly backing into the National Championship with a weak schedule. Nor will I discuss LSU getting a National Championship bid with two losses. The major atrocity with the BCS involves Missouri.

Missouri was number two in the BCS going into their showdown with Kansas a few weeks ago. Following their victory, Missouri found themselves number one in the BCS. While Missouri was headed to the Big 12 title game against Oklahoma, Kansas's regular season ended with a disappointing loss.

Missouri entered the Big 12 Title game knowing that a win would solidify their bid to play in the BCS National Championship. What ensued was downright disastrous.

Missouri was beaten convincingly by a determined Oklahoma Sooner squad. Unfortunately for Missouri, that wasn't the disastrous part. The next day, the BCS Bowl games were announced on national television.

Kansas - the team that was beaten by Missouri and denied a shot at the Big 12 Title - received a bid to the Orange Bowl. The Missouri Tigers - the team that beat Kansas two weeks earlier - was robbed of their BCS hopes. Missouri was essentially punished by the BCS gods for beating Kansas and losing in the Big 12 Title.

Missouri was a victim of first degree robbery. They were penalized for reaching the Big 12 title game. How could Kansas, a team that is third at best in the Big 12 conference, reach a BCS Bowl game over Missouri?

WANTED FOR CRIMES IN SEVERAL STATES: BCS Formula. It has robbed several colleges and universities of bowl bid appearances, committed fraud on each school's fan base and is alleged to be armed with horrific logic. If you have any information on this highly dangerous criminal, please contact your local authorities.
