The BCS Busters Blog - The Story Behind The BCS

As we enter week number eleven in the college football season, one thing is for certain. There are only about 10 schools that can realistically compete for the national championship in college football. These are largely the same schools that were behind the creation of the CFA back in 1976. I think you can tell by the recent ratings which schools these include. For example, Notre Dame has been beaten twice, and has only beaten one team with a winning record, yet, they are ranked in the top 10 in each of the AP and Coaches Polls as well as the Harris Polls. If Oregon had beaten USC earlier this year, would we be talking about a Texas - Oregon match-up for the national title, or would we be discussing a Miami - Texas match-up after this weekends Hurricane domination in Blacksburg?

The BCS will only reward a school with a rich tradition or history in college football, and who has a sizeable television market at the same time. Therefore, the following schools should form their own super-conference with the winner of each division meeting for the national championship. These schools would include the following:

BCS Conference
USC
UCLA
California
Oregon
Washington
Texas
Oklahoma
Nebraska
Michigan
Ohio State
Penn State
Notre Dame




Florida
Florida State
Virginia Tech
Tennessee
LSU
Georgia
Alabama
Auburn
Miami
Boston College
Clemson
Arkansas

All other schools have absolutely zero chance of ever competing for a national championship under the current bcs parameters and mafia style leadership.
