Another Open Letter
To all of the half-wit sportswriters who are clamoring for a 4 team, "Plus One" playoff system in college football:
Who would your four teams have been in 2007? Pick four from the group of
A) Georgia
B) LSU
C) USC
D) Missouri
E) Ohio State
F) West Virginia
G) Kansas
and base your argument solely on regular season results, since that's what you would have had to do were the system in place this year. You are not allowed to count Ohio State's idle week against them, since it's not their fault that the Big Ten doesn't have the 12 teams required for a conference championship game.

Answer Key: The only problem with the BCS is that the fucking voters don't ever think about fucking strengths-of-schedule until after the season. If they would vote better, or stop revising the BCS formula every year to weigh the polls more and more heavily, this wouldn't be a problem.
