BCS hangover

If there wasn't already enough to complain about with the BCS, yesterdays games gave us brand new ammunition. On New Year's Day, historically the biggest day for college football, the slate was cleared for a USC-Illinois Rose Bowl, and a Georgia-Hawaii Sugar Bowl. Thanks to the ever flexible folks of the Rose Bowl Committee, deserving teams like Missouri and Arizona State got passed over for... Illinois. After all, why have a match-up of two deserving teams when you can keep the tradition of Pac 10 vs Big Ten.

So as a result of the open-minded sensible decision makers in Pasadena, we get...USC 49, Illinois 17.

And for an encore...Georgia 41, Hawaii 10.

Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the system.
