Usually, I take to this space to talk national politics. But tonight, for just one time, I will take a break and talk another type of politics.
BCS politics.
There is much talk about the unfairness of the BCS, how it is biased, slanted to the big schools. The old daddy network, the big dogs getting richer.
But around TCU's campus, people seem to forget a really simple fact. Something that is really obvious, writing on the wall. Like gospel, from his mouth.
And he still doesn't... And he has a very very good reason. He has gotten TCU to its current location in the college football BECAUSE of the bowl system. In a playoff system, he would have to beat 3 of 4 of the biggest and best teams in the nation to be champs. This is arguably just as hard, if not harder, than it is currently.
The bowl system has given Gary a chance to live in weak conferences, building up his team from its lowly days to the juggernaut it is today, all while making money in lower bowl games, living through the tough days.
If Gary doesn't want a playoff yet, I don't want a playoff yet. TCU is two spots away from that game, and thats closer than they could get in a playoff, imo.
Gary is my homeboy. Thats it.
