Something is wrong when some of America’s finest young men do not get to play in the Championship game simply because they do not belong to an elite conference…..It’s very wrong and all you folks know it….You can make all kind of excuses, “it’s as good as we can get it bs”,…. it is not as good as we can get it….Why not have the selection committee from folks like, NBC, CBS, ABC, ESPN, FOX SPORTS, Associated Press and several major newspaper sports editors from around the country, say every major market in the USA…There has to be a better way and you cannot tell me that we don’t have the people capable of doing it. It is the money stopping it and as long as WE THE PEOPLE keep our mouth shut and do nothing, it will never change….So, as long as it is money, I suppose that is better than good people deciding. That has become the case…MONEY….To bad….Sam Houston State, University of Louisana, Lafayette, Lousiana Tech, Southern Mississippi, Northern Iowa, University of Houston, Temple….Yeah, I know they are nobodies, but every once in a while the nobodies produce somebodies, eleven somebodies on both sides of the ball that nobody sees in a real good year….what a shame…what a shame, America, they are your boys also….

I always thought a selection committee is what we had before. It makes little difference if that selection committee is made up of sports writers, coaches, players, or a vote of ordinary people. The best way to pick the best is by actually playing the game. In the case of football, sometimes not enough games can be played; but any number of games is better than none at all. If the Loboes manage to get in the BCS next year with their fancy new coach, I’m sure the tune of the manager of this website will change.
Sorry, the tune of this manager will not change as long the smaller, lesser known colleges are omitted from consideration from a national championship.
Come now! The smaller, lesser known colleges are not omitted now. They are all represented by their own sports writers and coaches who have a vote. They may sometimes be outvoted. Welcome to the club! Vote as a conservative Republican, and you will quickly find out how that feels. The famous Jim Thorp, I believe, graduated from a small school in Pennsylvania, and he did pretty well for himself in spite of severe discrimination due to his native American heritage. There has been many others from many other small schools, the names of whom escape me at the moment. Virginia Tech has produced several good players. Please don’t take away from the large and the wealthy schools just to give it away undeservedly to the masses. This is too much like Obama. We had enough of “spreading the wealth”, especially to those who do not earn it. One can attend a small school and make it big. That person just has to work harder. Listen to some of the University of Phoenix commercials. Some are hard to believe, but presumably they are true, unless the 21st century University of Phoenix is merely just a high tech version of the fly-by-night correspondence schools of the Fifties. Remember those! I have suspected that the late rapid expansion of the University of Phoenix is the modern equivalent of the correspondence schools of the Fifties, issuing diplomas that are hardly worth the paper on which they are written although my niece is about to get her Ph.D. there. Hopefully, it does offer a quality education although it is cheap compared to a resident school, and cheap usually means inferior. At least, it is an education that don’t originate in China.
I don’t know where you get your information…If you are not in one of the five top conferences you cannot compete in the BCS championship game….It is not allowed….Win them all and you will not be invited. Had Houston won all of their games they could not have played LSU for the Championship because they are in the C-USA….ask Boise State and TCU about it….
