There are some who argue that the BCS is fair and just. It just so happens that they are the same people who happen to be paid by the BCS, BCS-affiliated conferences, or media companies who have million-dollar contracts with the organization. It’s uncanny. Really.

Furthermore, those proponents who get kick backs in one form or another have a laundry list of reasons why it’s so good for student-athletes and fans which needs to be cleaned on heavy duty permanent press spin cycle.

One major issue that stands out is the number of games NCAA football teams would be forced to play if a playoff was instituted. those poor souls. The argument from those in the BCS’ pocket stresses the importance of each game in the current system and how additional games would dilute and weaken the weight of games which are so potent under the current structure.

To borrow the title of the SNL skit hosted by Seth Meyers and Amy Pohler, the SFC counters this claim with a resounding and emphatic ‘REALLY?!?!’

Rather than provide a long list of reasons why the idiocy of the money-grubbing BCS’ arguments are just that, idiotic, let’s take a look at the Bleacher Report’s rankings of the Top Ten Most Cowardly Programs in College Football.

Notice any familiar faces or mascots?

It just so happens that many of these BCS don’t-call-it-a-National-Title contenders schedule cake walk games each year. While the teams themselves deserve some ridicule for padding their stats, it is obviously the system, the Bowl Championship Series - which rewards such behavior - that is truly to blame.

Sports fans deserve a playoff. Don’t let their henchmen fool you into thinking otherwise. Even if they hired 15 Ari Fleischers to spin the issue, we sports fans know a playoff is the only way to determine a true college football champion.
