Bowl Cash Series

A friend once told me BCS stands for Bowl Cash Series and I couldn't agree more.
I mean Boise State vs TCU in the Fiesta Bowl, what the hell for?
Let's first look at TCU and examine the body of work, is there any fear?
The Horned Frogs won 9 games by 20 points or more, including 7 straight to end the year.
Throw in road wins at Virginia and Clemson, against so called power conference foes.
And 6 wins came against teams now heading to play in bowls, not just average Joes.
Why not find out what they can do against Goliath on a national stage this time?
That match-up won't make the BCS the most money, and won't be how I end this rhyme.
Instead we have a rematch of a bowl game from a year ago, both teams with a higher rank.
One of these "Little Guys" will end with a perfect record, but no title shot in the bank.
Boise State has 5 wins against bowl bound teams, including Oregon the champs of the Pac 10.
The Broncos only loss last season was to TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl, will this happen again?
The average margin of victory for the champions of the WAC was 26.5 points per game.
Boise has the nation's top rated passer and highest scoring attack; will this result be the same?
Regardless, the BCS powers that be got what they really wanted in the long run.
The SEC champion will play Texas for the national title, oh what fun.
I am not claiming these teams don't deserve to be in the national title discussion.
But with 5 undefeated teams going into bowl season, the thoughts of playoffs can cause a concussion.
We haven't even talked about quite possibly the biggest snub of all.
Cincinnati went undefeated in a power conference in college football.
The Bearcats beat 7 teams that will be playing in the NCAA's version of postseason.
They also had to win games with their backup qb, a wrist injury was the reason.
However, this Cincy team may have the best opportunity to show they are the best.
The defending National Champion Florida Gators will be quite the Sugar Bowl test.
Cincinnati is losing its head football coach to the Irish of Notre Dame.
What is the main reason there is no playoff system? MONEY IS TO BLAME.
