My BCS Solution.
December 7, 2009
Listen, I want to see Bama, Texas, TCU, Cincy, and Boise St all have a shot at the title just as much as the next guy. Difference is, I actually came up with a solution! Run this idea by the BCS committee and University presidents and they’ll be more excited than Martin Grammatica post-field goal!
Solution: 60 minute battle-royale game. 1950′s rules/regs and equipment (aka barely any), every team for itself, no alliances! One offensive team vs. all 4 defenses at a time. Teams MUST run actual, legal plays when they get the ball. Other than that, all’s fair. Punts are handled basically like street games of ’500′.
Game starts with the referee (ghost of Dick “Night Train” Lane) unexpectedly dropping the ball into the midst of the 5 senior captains meeting at midfield and then clotheslining all of them.
First team to score a touchdown wins. Overtime situation: If no team has scored at the end of 60 minutes, the team with the most “playable” offensive players remaining wins. Must include at least one skill-position player to qualify.
See? Much better than the BCS.
