Bowl Anarchy Society

written by Le Roux

It's come down to the last week of the season, and our hopes for a clear cut picture that exactly shows how bankrupt the BCS system is doesn't seem likely. Unless there is @ least one major upset next week, the lap dogs in the NCAA will attempt to claim victory for its shit caked system. However, there has now been 12 upsets of a top 5 team by an unranked opponent SO FAR this year, so we still watch with interest.

There were two major upsets this weekend. The major one, of course, was the triple OT 50-48 Arkansas win over then #1 LSU. With 2 losses, it seems LSU has no argument for the title game....unless.... The other 'upset' was less major- former #1 USC beat former #7 Arizona State, giving them two losses. They also are out....unless...... And the best game of the weekend was the Big 12 North match up that lead to now 11-1 Missouri beating formerly undefeated Kansas. That leaves four teams with one loss, although West Virginia and Missouri play a last game next week.

Our hopes depend on the outcomes of these two games. Unranked Pittsburgh -v- AP#2 West Virginia is the most important, and boy do we need an upset. West Virginia, like Ohio State, has no conference championship game. Unless they lose to Pitt next week, we are stuck with a title game of Ohio State and West Virginia. The other game is the Big 12 title game between Missouri and Oklahoma (10-2). Both games start around 7pm Saturday nite, and by 11 we should know.

What the Bowl Anarchy Society are hoping for this last weekend is a massive Pitt upset of West Virginia. If this unlikely event happens, then we hope that Oklahoma beats Missouri in the Big 12 title game. This will give us two teams- Ohio State and Kansas- with one loss. Since Kansas didn't even play in their conferences title game, that will tarnish the BCS game. However, if West Virginia wins, our only hope is to claim "What about Kansas?" and the ultimate card= what about Hawaii ??

Hopefully, it will not come to that. But we are ready to deal with the BCS by any means necessary.

On Friday, I will run a special pre- conference championship Bowl Anarchy Society. Here is where I will outline my plan for the NCAA 16 team playoff the good people of America deserves. Next Monday I will return again with the matchups..... that the good people of America deserve.
