Sorry Florida, but there is a chance that you get completely screwed in the BCS. It’s not your fault, it’s the fault of the awful commission that thinks it is helping college football. You can join league rival Auburn as deserving SEC teams that got left out of the title game.

While you’re at it, you can join USC at that same party. And the many, many teams that were simply screwed out of BCS games in general, from Kansas State to Marshall to TCU.

You see, the BCS is a joke. Everybody knows it, but no one is willing to do anything about it. Every coach in the country knows it is a joke. Every player on every team knows it. Every fan of the game knows it. Hell, the President-elect knows it.

But the school presidents and the conference commissioners like to look like assholes. At least, that’s the only explanation I can come up with.

These bright people have chosen to accept less money, less happiness from their constituents and a terrible situation for fans and players. They have done this despite every level-headed mind in sports telling them how wrong they are.

But they have the power and that’s all that matters to them.

So Florida, enjoy your BCS at-large bid if you get it, because there is a legitimate chance that Oklahoma and Texas both stay ahead of you in the final BCS standings. And when that happens, you are off to play Utah in a not-quite-as-important BCS game.

You had your shot, you lost to Mississippi. And in the fantasy world of the BCS, you lost your playoff game three months ago. That’s the argument right? Every week is like a playoff game because our regular season is so important?

Maybe if the SEC didn’t suck so bad this year, you’d be sitting pretty right now. Perhaps if Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Arkansas and Tennessee didn’t all become laughing stocks in the course of one year, you’d have some strength of schedule and a win on your resume that looks good at the end of the year.

Look, I think Florida is the best team in the country right now. But if them getting screwed out of the title game is what it takes to get some of these asshole BCS suits to see reality, then I’m all for it.

So bring on the Red River Rematch. It’s not really for the national championship, but it will be a good game.
