NCAA Death to the BCS Playoffs: Finals

Even though I did the semifinals on Saturday, I figured given the title game was tonight and I am in full fledged anti-BCS mode, I'd get a jump on it.

I didn't watch any of the BCS title game as the system is a sham and I refuse to support it (even though apparently it's run by the Sith). Alabama nonetheless looked impressive once again in winning a glorified exhibition game. Instead, we have the final game of a playoff system where the best of the best actually all had a chance to play in Miami.

Since this is the title round, I'm going up to a best of 5 simulation with the clinching game being the official game for the purposes of the tournament This game is being played in Miami as it's the site of the title game. Weather is taken into account from actual conditions at the posted game times, and all simulations are done by WhatIfSports.com.

(4) Kansas State vs (2) Alabama

Game 1: ALA 32, KSU 0

Game 2: ALA 33, KSU 3

Game 3: ALA 62, KSU 3

So I guess the Bama team that showed up last night also showed up for this simulation. They're BCS champions (which means absolutely nothing) and Death to the BCS playoff champions (which means slightly more). But Bama fans, listen to the NCAA. They don't recognize your titles, and I don't recognize the one you won last night. The only national champions there are are North Dakota State (FCS champs), Valdosta State in D-II and Mount Union in D-III. They went through gauntlets stronger overall than Bama did in reality (and maybe even in this playoff, that or Bama is just that good.)

Alabama did come out a winner last night, and they probably are the best team in the nation. But until there's a full fledged playoff to decide a national champion where everyone has a shot, this "title" of yours is nothing more than a paper championship. I'd be saying the same thing if it were Notre Dame. It's not the teams' faults or the fans' fault. It's this broken system that we have to deal with for one more year.
