The Angels Weep

Whose bright idea was it to invite Notre Dame to play in the Sugar Bowl? They've lost their last 8 bowl appearances and tonight, they lost 41-14 to LSU. Once again we see the transparent hypocrisy of the BCS which is about money and keeping out the teams who don't command vast audience bases. They get another huge payday for turning in a lackluster performance.

I'm not in favor of a playoff system, because this is, after all, college football, and students should have some time to attend school, if only for appearances. The fun is in the arguing. You'd have to add about two months to the season, and even then, there'd be a lot of grousing about strength of schedule and other imponderables.
