There is no Auburn versus Oregon game. No Tostitos BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 10. It's been cancelled on account of fraud. It's as phony as an Ivory Coast election.

If TCU can't play for the national championship, then nobody should play for it. Bust the crystal football this year. Until Nostradamus rises from the grave and can predict the future, we need to play this thing off. Anything else is about as real as Cheez Whiz.

TCU's 21-19 win over arguably the hottest team in college football -- Wisconsin -- Saturday in the Rose Bowl means the Horned Frogs are undefeated and untied and unwelcome in the BCS "Doesn't Prove A Damn Thing Game" in Glendale.

The Horned Frogs' perfect 13-0 season was rendered pointless by The Greedheads Who Run College Football.

Crazy, huh? TCU wins the roses and gets the thorns.

What a lie this BCS era is. They say a playoff would take too much time away from school, yet Oregon's players will have had 37 days off when they play again.

They say with this system, "every game counts." Except of course, TCU's epic win over Wisconsin to stay undefeated Saturday. Counts exactly as much as a rainbow to Stevie Wonder.

They say they don't believe in a playoff but they already have a two-team playoff. Why is a four-team playoff system any worse than a two-team system?

And what's the upside of a playoff? Besides quadrupling the money the colleges would make and quintupling fan satisfaction, I mean? And what's the downside? Oh, yeah, it would end the cash grab BCS officials wallow in now.

What a lie this BCS era is. They say a playoff would take too much time away from school, yet Oregon's players will have had 37 days off when they play again.

Just another day in college football -- the Chrysler K Car of sport -- the only place in the world where athletes have to shrug and say, "Well, I guess we just have to settle for an undefeated season," as a few Horned Frogs did after the game Saturday. "Today we proved that we have just as good players as anybody else in the country," said Horned Frogs QB Andy Dalton, who won't get the chance to prove another thing -- that they're better.

It makes me so mad I want to knock people's hats off their heads.

The BCS strikes at the very fundamental concepts of sports we all (supposedly) believe in. Silly concepts like championships are decided on the field of play or that at the start of the game/season everyone is equal.

In terms of standings and playoff positions, the Carolina Panthers start next year in exactly the same place as the Patriots or Falcons. Whether or not they go to the Super Bowl will be determined by their play on the field and nothing else.

I think any true fan of college football should be crying because of the ridiculously stupid system currently in place.

as stupid as the BCS is it's still better than what was, we'd have had Oregon vs Wisconson in the Rose and Auburn vs. whoever in the Sugar Bowl
