College Football: Playoff, BCS, and the Pimp Daddy

Wednesday, November 5, 2008 Leave a Comment

Pete Carroll asked the perfect question. Do you vote for the team that had the best season (as far as records go) or do you vote for the best team at the end of the season who you think can win it out if there was a playoff system? The Trojans have been dominating the Rose Bowl for the past couple years to finish of their season. They made an egg out of the Wolverines and Illinois and beat them. Get it? Get it? Made like an egg and beat it? Ha ha. Anyway. So at the end of those games many analyst would say, USC is the best team in college football right now. Even before those two Rose Bowl games, everyone knows that there is not one team who would want to face USC for the National Title game. USC has been absolutely dominating.

Going back to Pete Carroll's question, who are we voting #1? Texas Tech is ranked ahead of the Trojans, but seriously. Who really thinks they can beat USC? The vote should be on who is the BEST team and not so much on who has the best record. That sounds like a silly statement huh? Well it's not silly. If all teams faced the same teams and had the same schedule, then yes, we can try to rank them based on their record. But that isn't the case. So the vote should be on who do you think is the best team. Texas Tech isn't better than USC and neither are some of the teams ranked above USC.

Think of football teams as wanna be pimp daddy's at a club. Let's say Penn State is Steve and USC is Bob. Steve asks out 10 ugly girls and gets 10 sets of digits. Bob goes out and asks out 10 better looking girls w/ a couple hotties and only gets 7 sets of digits. Would you say Steve is the big daddy mac and has more pimp juice than Bob? We can all get more phone numbers when we ask out desperate ugly girls. That doesn't make us more of a Pimp Daddy. It just means we played it safe. That's exactly what many of these highly ranked teams are doing. Playing it safe!

Now Texas Tech does have a pretty challenging schedule. I really don't want to pick on that team. They are pretty damn good. All I'm saying is, that great teams like USC and Texas will likely lose a game during the season. That's just the world of college football full of young athletes. USC who everyone assumed would win the National Championship this year didn't all the sudden lose their mojo because of that loss to the Beavers. They are still the same powerful team. Look at how they crushed the Buckeyes who Penn State barely beat. We should be voting for the BEST team who we can see winning it out if there was a playoff system installed instead of voting for the team w/ the prettiest record.

Once we start voting for the BEST team, then we can all be saved from watching the Buckeyes who finish with a pretty record get beat down in the national stage. Imagine if it was USC who Florida and LSU faced the past couple years. I don't know who would've won, but I know USC is too Pimp to get beat down like the Buckeyes did.
