But this dictatorship is so much better than the last. According to Harvey Perlman, the recently appointed chairman of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee (Czar), the alternative to the BCS is not a playoff.

There are six automatic qualifying conferences and Notre Dame that currently comprise that body. The six automatic qualifying conferences are conferences that had contractual relationships with bowls prior to the BCS. The Big 12 had a contract with the Fiesta Bowl, the Pac 10 and Big Ten had the Rose Bowl and the SEC had the Sugar Bowl and The ACC had the Orange Bowl. What we agreed to do was modify those agreements to allow a No. 1 and No. 2 team to play each other for the national championship. But we weren’t going to give up those contractual rights without having control over what the system was.
…
What I think most people don’t understand is that the alternative to the current system is not a playoff. The alternative to the BCS is going back to our traditional relationship with our bowl partners.

We love a good scare tactic, but don’t buy that for a minute. The BCS won’t be dissolved into a less fair system. Also like we mentioned a week ago (and will have something more on this next week) the BCS Bowls are brand names. The conference tie-ins mean very little. This is proven by the successes of non-traditional match-ups and failures of traditional match-ups.

There’s a possibility of a Michigan Gerogia home-and-home in 2010 and 2011.

Some sources tell me that the Athletic Department is looking into a home game against the University of Georgia in 2010, one that would also bring the Wolverines to Athens in 2011.

Two tradition rich schools, SEC versus Big Ten and spread offense versus tenacious defense oh please, please, pretty please make this series happen!

Now that the Fridge is leaner and healthier he might be sticking around past 2011; Franklin wins lottery.

Friedgen, 62, said in an interview with The Baltimore Sun that he might want to stay beyond the three years for which he is under contract. On Feb. 6, the university signed an agreement promising to pay $1 million to offensive coordinator James Franklin – who has turned down coaching jobs at other schools and in the NFL – if he is not elevated to head coach by Jan. 2, 2012.

We only have one response.

There’s a chance ECU could play for the National Championship. It’s about the same of us winning the lottery and the Master’s on the same day as solving the energy crisis.
