Playoff selection snit shouldn't overshadow the last season of BCS

It seems almost sacrilege that controversy over a new college football playoff system should be allowed to overshadow the last season of the controversial BCS.

The BCS deserves center stage as it takes its last walk down the halls of horror.

All this talk about whether Condoleezza Rice should be on a selection panel she has not yet been named to yet is a slap in the face to a BCS system that for 15 years has misfired more often than a Yugo.

The first BCS Standings will be released Oct. 20 -- that's only a week from Sunday.

Shouldn't we all be gearing up for those follies?

Male chauvinist? or racist?

She knows more about football (and most other subjects) than most men.

WADR to Coach Muschamp I hope he doesn’t cost you in a close game. From a distance it seams that his temper can get in the way. Maybe not.

Agreed, though that could end the season with FSU then Alabama. I might have to be intoxicated to watch those two games.

So, here’s the premise: BCS is being discontinued because it’s failed, but its final year results should be respected because it’s being discontinued as a result of failing?

Gotta be the LA Times...oh wait...

Put her in charge of college football playoffs and you get your wish. Sort of.

IIRC number 1 on her bucket list is becoming the NFL commissioner.
