It's that time of year again folks! Where the sports world gets turned into complete and utter chaos. Up is down. Left is right. North is south. Absolutely nothing makes sense at all.
Of course I'm talking about the weekend's Bama-LSU matchup. That's right: what might end up being the true SEC and National Championship game is taking place two months before some coach raises that stupid crystal football above his head in a monsoon of confetti. This game is going to be on every football fan's tv this weekend. Les Miles is going to be eating so much grass he'll shit haybales.

I for one can't get enough of the BCS. You can pretty much know EXACTLY how the ESPN/Sportscenter dialogue will go on Sunday and Monday:
Anchor 1: Alabama squeaks by LSU in an instant classic in triple OT! Alabama will first in the BCS rankings but what does this do to LSU's title chances?
Anchor 2: OMG GET RID OF THE BCS ITS GARBAGE LSU IS OUT IN WEEK 10 BOISE STATE OKLAHOMA STATE TCU NOT FAIR I HATE SPORTS PLAYOFF PLAYOFF PLAYOFF PLAYOFF!!!!!!!!!!
And really its just hilarious. We've heard the same arguments each year, at the exact same times, for the past decade. If the current format were to change it would have been done years ago. Anyone who believes that the BCS is actually considering changing the bowl system, I have a bridge to sell you. If it ain't broke don't fix it. The B1G and SEC took in $22MM for last years bowls, and the ACC, Pac-10(12), Big 12, and Big East (haha) all took in $17MM. That my friends is not a broken system. Bitch all you want about fairness and opportunity and blah blah blah. The BCS and the chaos and rage and whining it brings with it are here to stay.
LSU-Alabama Saturday at 8 with the national title on the line.
