If you are wondering what the BCS sham championship should look like if things were fair, according to the T-3000 there should be four teams still alive: Alabama, TCU, Florida and Texas. Even if you believe in the BCS, this ranking generally matches 1 and 2. The only way I think it won't match is if Florida beats Alabama and Nebraska beats Texas. Under that scenario, the T-3000 deems Florida and Alabama 1 and 2, which will never fucking happen in real life. TCU would get in if Alabama beats Florida and Nebraska beats Texas.

But we don't have to worry about any of this garbage, because we have a tournament! Actually, we have a Get Together (Brought to you by KY). And the bracket will be revealed sometime between Sunday and the middle of next week, whenever I get around to posting the T-3000 results.

ANALYSIS

Just a reminder of how this works. Each conference champion gets an automatic bid. And not just BCS conferences. All of them. Top 8 seeds will host regional on their campuses, with the possibility of hosting the first two rounds. Quarterfinals and Semifinals are at various bowl sites. Title game is at the Rose Bowl, because the Rose Bowl kicks ass.

According to the T-3000, it appears that the Florida/Alabama winner will be the number one overall seed barring any huge upset to either prior to the SEC title game. It will be tight between TCU, Texas and the Florida/Alabama loser for number two, especially if Florida beats Alabama. Texas has the built in advantage of the conference title game, while TCU is not interested in making extra cash and tiring themselves out before the Get Together. They will take their two homes games and an extra week off. The T-3000 has been doing this both publicly and not for about 4 years now, so that I can bitch about the BCS, and it has had the same top 2 as the BCS every year, even when all the crazy shit happens in the last week of college football, like is going to happen in the next two weeks.

On a side note, if we have FIVE undefeated teams. Can we seriously stop making up bullshit to defend the BCS??? It is one thing if you are talking about one undefeated against a slew of one loss, or even a slew of one loss teams, on the theory that if you lose a game you can't bitch. But to go unbeaten and be barred from a title shot is a crime. ESPECIALLY, if you are a team like Cincinnati, who might go unbeaten in a BCS conference, and get fucked. Not that anyone getting fucked is right, but the BCS goes out of its way to favor those from big conferences.

But really, it is a perfect system and should not be destroyed.

Road To The Get Together Top 32: Week 11

We have our first auto bid, as Ohio St. wins the Big 10. Only 31 more bids to fill. The top 7 remained exactly the same. Awkward. Also, the I-AA teams are gone, probably for good.

Road To The Get Together Top 32: Week 9

I know what you guys are thinking. The T-3000 must be broken. There is no fucking way Iowa is better than Alabama. They almost lost to Indiana. You are probably right. But, the T-3000 doesn't consider style points. If it did, then every time Florida beat a I-AA team by 60, they would automatically be number one. But this is a dream world, and NOT reality. Reality, as you all know full well, bites. The BCS has already decided (with 3, 4 or 5 games left) that if Florida/Alabama and Texas win out, they are going to play for the championship. THAT my friends, is fucking bullshit. Juice's Dream NCAA Division I Football Get Together presented by K.Y. is going to be epic.

One interesting note, the T-3000 has had a few I-AA teams floating around the bottom of the rankings this year due to wins over division I teams earlier in the season. And you know what? Richmond got a vote in the AP this week. I'm just sayin' it isn't all that retarded.

Road to The Get Together Top 32: Week 7

This week, we get down to the real business. The BCS is out. And the BCS is stupid and wrong. It is based 2/3 on reputation and potential, and 1/3 computers. My rankings are based on what you have done on the field so far. It is as simple as that. New this week, the teams marked with an asterisks would get into the Get Together with an automatic bid based on a conference title. Will Virginia win the ACC? Likely not, but right now they are technically in first. Also new is that the final number is BCS ranking instead of AP.

Also, quickly, did anyone hear that He Who Shall Not Be Named threw a touchdown pass to some other guy? He Who Shall Not Be Named! And that He Who Shall Not Be Named is playing the team that He Who Shall Not Be Named used to play for Monday night on ESPN? And that He Who Shall Not Be Named threw a TD pass last weekend? I bet nobody knew that. And I want to kill Paul Allen.

Road to The Get Together: Top 32 Week 1

Not only am I ridding the world of the BCS, but I'm ridding the world of the completely random "Top 25". Why was 25 the settled on number? I'm going with 32 because that is how many teams will earn the right to play for the true championship of college football. As always, this is totally scientific, and not at all based on watching the games, or if I think a team would beat another team. It is completely based on the following question: "What has a team done this year?" Meaning: who have they beat, where have they beat them. No preseason rankings. No teams getting a head start to the tournament by having a lot of talent. No passes for beating cupcakes. No teams being ranked in the top 15 despite having a losing record (Really?) No getting ranked despite not playing at all. Obviously, this will fluctuate greatly in the first few weeks, but generally settle down near the end. Last year it accurately predicted the top 2.
