A rant against the college football powers-that-be: Part 1

Maybe it’s an instance of some sort of confirmation bias on my part, but I feel as though a decent number of people feel as though the BCS worked this season.  I’m on the fence (or maybe a fence).  I feel comfortable saying that the two best teams in the country are playing in Glendale.  So, if you want the two teams that I’m fairly certain are the two best in the nation playing for the national championship, the BCS worked perfectly.  However, I also think it’s fair to say that a good number of people (a plurality of people who care about such things, if not a slight majority) favor some sort of overhaul that will eventually lead to a playoff system.  Over the next two days, I’m here to tell playoff opponents why they’re wrong.  Today, we’ll tackle (get it?) the on the field stuff.
