another year....and once again college football is exposed for the farce that it is...another four months of exaggerated rankings and the pumping up of the big ten , when we all know the conf is sub par at best.....or quite honestly, they suck....but if you have a TV contract with ABC\ESPN your not allowed to SUCK...or better yet....your not allowed to admit in public that they suck......and the glaring conflict of interest in the "AP" Polls makes its all silly......i have beaten this drum before...but lets go over it one more time.......if you are a sportswriter for any newspaper in the midwest and you are trying to get on the national stage, the fastest way to have your stories circulated to a wider audience is to cover a national story.....so if your assigned to cover the big ten for a paper in Grand Rapids or Detroit or Columbus or Altoona or anywhere in the wide grasp of big ten country in the middle of America.....are you going to vote your conscious and admit that the Big Ten sucks and thus dismissing the national attention of your weekly column OR is it better suited for you to Vote Ohio St #1 , Whisky #3 , Michigan # 5 and so on and so on ??? ............and your never gonna let TCU, BOISE and those other guys get on the national stage....it can only hurt your importance.
for the record , the big Ten stepped it up this year in the Bowls going 3-6 (michigan on deck tonight)......with wins over Western Michigan and UCLA amongst the 3 wins and the Spartans ( who are decent) squeaked one out over Goergia.
I can hear Brent Musburger already pumping up Ohio St and Urban Meyer...coming off a 7 loss season and probably already ranked in the top 10 for next year.....and the beat goes on.
