Bob Davie announcer for ESPN/ ABC (and BCS proponent) is fond of saying “every week is a playoff.” In fact, he says it every broadcast. I’m not exaggerating. He really does say it EVERY SINGLE GAME HE CALLS. Well, how does he (or any BCS proponent) explain this season? We’re now facing a BCS Championship Game matching up a team that lost it’s last game (Ohio State) versus a team that didn’t win its conference’s championship (Georgia). That doesn’t sound like a playoff to me.
UPDATE: Whoops. How could I forget that the Buckeyes lost to Illinois, THEN beat Michigan? Sorry about that. All I can say in my defence is that I was trying to stay up to watch that dang Hawaii game, and parts of my brain had shut down. To those of you who sent me emails and comments, “ThankYouVeryMuch, ThankYouVeryMuch.”
