Why the BCS Sucks

Well, LSU snuck past Ole Miss, lost on OT to Arkansas (boy does Miles wish that college football allowed for ties after two OT losses), and now faces a tough Tennessee. I can't see LSU beating Tennessee in Atlanta, but who knows.

Still, the miserable part is that the winner is likely to face Hawaii. That is right, Hawaii. Not only is the BCS boring, but it tends to produce bad matchups. A West Virginia verses Missouri game is interesting for the novelty of it, but the rest of the bowl games look dreadful.

LSU #1

It's November and LSU is ranked #1. They do not look substantially better than numbers 2-5, but they have won more tough games than anyone else, which rightly counts for something.

I don't know how likely it is that LSU can win their next three: Ole Miss, Arkansas and the SEC Championship Game. The SEC Championship game is always tough.
