Week 14 2008: Winding Down

Very little movement atop the polls which means there was very little movement in our 2008 challenge. And unless there are some serious upsets in next weeks games and teh subsequent bowl games, you'll pretty much end the season with your current ranking.

The BCS once again finds itself amidst controversy. They just haven't figured out that college football is a titch unpredictable. In the first few weeks of this season we were all kicking ourselves for not picking East Carolina and South Florida as our wild card teams. When was the last time you read a headline about either?

So does this BCS mess push us closer to a playoff system? Eh...maybe. There is a sort of playoff going on right now: the SEC championship game will send its best to the national championship game. The Big 12 sort of is doing the same except the Big 12 Championship shoudl really be a UT-OU rematch, not #2 Oklahoma taking on #19 Missouri. But what about unbeaten Utah, Boise and Ball? What about once beaten Texas, Texas Tech, Penn State and yes, even USC?

Obviously there is still work to be done. If Missouri pulls an upset and the precious BCS system once again sends a conference non-champ to the big dance...aarrggh...let's not think about that.
