we hung home with sanford watching college football tonight... not having a specific team to root for in college football (though i root for ucf cuz jackson is an alumni), i view the whole of college football pretty objectively... i keep wondering why the sports media is so biased in their reporting and ranking of teams and conferences...
watching the oregon ducks go down to sanford, a team that took notre dame to overtime at notre dame stadium, there was not the biggest upset to watch, but still it upset the standings in the bcs - and yet, i still have to wonder why the sec is so respected by those who vote in the bcs... oregon stood tall and took on the second best team in their conference and lost...
meanwhile, the sec teams played teams that had absolutely no chance of even a respectable showing in their games, which gets absolutely makes the bcs high rankings of sec teams laughable... most sec teams did the same thing last week as well... so they assure themselves wins, big wins, in the last weeks of the season which should be considered punking out, but somehow the bcs votes do not take into account what ridiculous scheduling they do in the sec... and tomorrow the sec will probably be ranked 2, 3, 4 and possibly 5, 6, and 7... it makes no sense...
meanwhile, kansas state lost big against a decent, but not great team in their own conference, but i respect them a whole lot more than any of the punk sec teams because they did not choose to run away from competition in the last weeks of the season...
the sec makes a mockery of college football (and not just in scheduling, but we won't mention roster and recruiting differences just now)... it's just discrediting to college football to over-inflate the sec the way the bcs does, especially given the scheduling of the last two weeks... but then, the sec treats college football as the big business it is so winning is everything and sportmanship is not the priority... some applaud, some wonder why there are any rules at all...
