Give College Football a Presidential Pardon

No one deserves to play in the BCS title game during the goofiest season any of us have ever seen.
There aren't two teams who are, clear cut, heads and tails above the rest.
Just play the bowl games and don't give out a championship trophy. No one is worthy of being No. 1.
Of course, they'll give a trophy to somebody. It's sort of like being president of the U.S. No one is really qualified, but I guess somebody has to have the job.

"Heads and tails above?" Are you talking about the coin flip or the quality of the teams? Don't you mean "head and shoulders above?"

Heads, tails, shoulders, belly buttons. All body parts. There will be 10 teams who are just as good as the two teams chosen to play in the BCS title game.

Which is why D-I football, or whatever they call themselves today, needs a playoff to determine the champion. This has been one of the most amazing season's in college football and to have a BCS ranking determine the #1 team in the land is a farce.
