The BCS' dumb obsession with finding America's second-best college football team. - By Chris Suellentrop - Slate Magazine

Best point made about this whole BCS dust up. The best team is not Michigan even though it pains me to say so.

"[T]he college-football voters understand, at least implicitly, that the season-long playoff that is the college football season should determine the single best team"

Michigan already lost its playoff game. Florida did lose a game and it would have excluded them from the championship if there were another undefeated challenger. There is not though and we're stuck with what we got. It would be a travesty if an additional playoff were added to college football. It would ruin the game.

The question to ask is what if OSU loses and UM wins big? By this logic, OSU is number 2 because UM already lost to OSU?
