I have read some reports recently about how the BCS does a better job picking a national champion and how March Madness makes the regular season meaningless.

First off, that doesn’t make sense.

Second..Ok.. still doesn’t make sense.

BCS, in a nutshell, is where a group, primarily made up of BCS coaches vote on who they think is the best. This last year they set up a “championship” game to pit their top two vote receivers against each other. Yip de skip. Any system that allows speculation as to what team is better should never claim to crown a national champion. The fact that BSU finished the season without a loss and was not the National Champion is a joke. And I don’t even like them and their smurf turf.

March Madness, with its flaws, allows for a team to play their way into a position at the National Championship. If Eastern Mississippi Advanced Sledding University can make it to the Big Dance, they have equal shot at playing for #1 as any other school. They get to leave it all on the court.

As far as March Madness making the regular season irrelevant, ask any of the teams that made it to the Big Dance without winning their conference tournament if their season was irrelevant. If you are looking for irrelevant, ask Michigan fans how they feel about playing in the Florida Citrus Bowl with as many losses as Florida. Ask a Bronco fan how it feels to be the only team without a loss all season and still being #5.

The only fair way to “crown” a champion is to let the teams play. All conferences get an automatic bid for the champion (regular season is relevant) and the remaining seeds are filled with highest ranked leftovers (makes OOC relevant.)
