Senator Orrin Hatch is strapped and ready to go toe-to-toe with the BCS. Nice interview by RealClearSports and while I support a Congressional investigation, I don’t agree with Hatch on this point.

We all know that college sports in general are big on tradition. There are schools that have winning traditions, and there are teams that are always going to be favored in the media and even among fans, like Notre Dame. We’ve all been raised with that, and I think most people accept that.

But there’s another tradition: The Cinderella story. The team that defies the odds, and despite its humble location and unknown roster, plays its way into National prominence. Now we see that in NCAA Basketball Tournament all the time. The BCS, more or less, makes it impossible for these Cinderella teams to contend for the National Championship. I think that takes a real good aspect of the game away. I’m serious. I think this is important.

In college football there aren’t many if any Cinderella National Champions. Can you think of one? We can’t. This is not college basketball where one phenom can change your entire program. Navy can have their moment upsetting Notre Dame, but is never going to contend for a National Championship. Wake Forest can win the ACC, like in 2006 when they shocked everyone, but is never going to contend for a National Championship. Therefore, designing a system to include all 120 1A teams is stupid. However we do need to acknowledge being in a BCS conference is no longer a prerequisite for being a contender. Scholarship reductions and lucrative television contracts have evened the playing field.

Swindle would have made one mighty fine software tester, because you know the first thing that pops into our heads when someone mentions Arizona State football is Nine Pound Catfish. Because as we all know Coach Erickson…
