Now what?

The BCS is in a pretty pickle once again.

Thanks to Oklahoma and their destruction of Texas Tech, the BCS Championship will once again be mired in controversy.

Even, if 1 Alabama holds on and finishes the season undefeated, the question will be debated as to who deserves to be 2 and play them in the Championship game.

Texas, Penn State, Oklahoma, Florida, Utah, Boise State, USC, and even Texas Tech all have a legitimate claim.

Yes, Texas Tech just lost to Oklahoma. But, Oklahoma lost to Texas. And, Texas Tech beat Texas.

USC, Florida, and Penn State lost games earlier in the season.

Both, Utah and Boise State are undefeated.

Talk about a mess.

The easiest and smartest solution, of course, would be to have a playoff. The fans, members of the media, and even President-elect Barack Obama have been clamoring for it. Yet, the BCS still refuses to relent. In fact, they just signed a fat new contract with ESPN to televise the BCS games through 2014.

So, that would probably be the earliest that they would consider it.

And, it is truly a shame.

College football is the only major sport not decided by a playoff. And, in truth, none of the excuses given by officials as to why makes any sense.

Like everything else, it comes down to the all mighty dollar. Still, you would think that a well constituted playoff would garner even more money.

Most importantly, it would give us a true champion.

Is that too much to ask?

The Wizard has spoken.
