No Plus 1 in College Football

I have to wonder what the BCS commissioners are thinking. Yesterday they shot down the +1 proposal where number 1 would play #4, and #2 would play #3 in the traditional BCS Bowls. The winners would play a week later. For some reason that proposal had too many holes in it and the commissioners shot it down. No real reasons were given why.

This is ridiculous. They didn't want to add more excitement to College football? They enjoy controversy? The have a problem at doing what most of America wants? They enjoy watching Ohio State get beat by 21 points each year?

What gives? Auburn, USC, Georgia, and even Michigan have had a legitimate beef on not making it to the Big Game in the past few years.

This plan would keep all the Bowl Games and yes there still could be Bowl games in Detroit and Toronto. Why wasn't this proposal considered more closely. Maybe it goes to the intelligence of the commissioners. Here is a quote from ND athletic director Kevin White on why they didn't do the +1 game. "If it isn't broke," White said, "don't fix it."

Wow, I guess these guys just don't get it. I wonder what Kevin would say if a one loss ND team got passed over for the National Championship game for a one loss each USC - Florida match up?
College football is the perfect game with an un-perfect ending every year. On a personal side note: The BCS has really hurt the American tradition of New Years Day Bowls. It's just not the same when two or three bowls are a few days to a week later.
