Finally, someone with credibility argues that the BCS actually makes the regular season meaningless

I've written several times that the BCS's backer's logic that a non-playoff makes the regular season more important is completely false. Example you ask? USC wasn't playing a meaningfull game once it lost a game. Did anyone care what Penn State did after their loss to Iowa. Those teams weren't playing meaninfull regular season games when they lost, even one game. And that's the elite teams. What happens to 95% of the other teams when they lose a game or two in the first quarter of the season. Are you trying to tell me that Wisconsin, Boise State or even LSU played meaninfull regular season games this year? The BCS is completely stupid and I won't follow a sport that is determined by powerful people in boardrooms instead of the athletes on the field.

Finally, out of all the people, Frank Deford makes the argument that I've been preaching. Here.
Thanks.
