T&C Talks BCS (Part I)

I am not a huge fan of BCS debates. It has some bright spots and it has some pitfalls, but I don’t think anyone is purposely screwing anyone else. What I would accuse some of the bowl folks of is holding too tightly to tradition.

I’ve always thought that the purpose of a college football season isn’t necessarily to crown a national champion, but at the same time I agree a playoff system over the current BCS would be lucrative and compelling for fans. In my mind, the playoffs in college football start in late August – lose one and you’re out. If a team goes undefeated and is favored by 25 points in their toughest conference game, sorry that doesn’t cut it.

10/9 – What We Learned

4-2 last weekend on our picks, which is a bit rough. An exciting weekend of college football with the former #1, Alabama going down. The important thing for us is that Michigan State pulled out their third-consecutive victory over in-state rival Michigan. What did we learn around the country?

I needed one of those a few months ago.

I’m honestly shocked that ESPN’s College GameDay won’t be in Ann Arbor for theMichigan State @ Michigan game this weekend. Probably fair to assume that ESPN has no plans to send Herbstreit, Corso and the gang to a Big Ten game this year (we’ll have more on this in an upcoming post). Let’s have a look around the Big Ten this week:

10/2 – What We Learned

After hitting our Thursday night pick by the skin of our teeth,  T&C took a loss on the Saturday Northwestern pick. Give credit to Minnesota, they played out of their minds to keep it close. Can’t win ‘em all…

› Though we missed out 12 PM game bet, a big Michigan State victory cures all! The Spartans showed they have an arsenal of weapons on offense and a stout defense – #20 nationally against the run. Looking for the best coverage of MSU football? We suggest visiting  The Only Colors.
