I need a new soapbox...

I recognize that there are other sports out there, but college football is really all I can find important enough rants about.
Thus, I will take another opportunity to further denounce the BCS and, in this case ESPN.
ESPN absolutely perturbs me.
They make themselves the forum for discussion on big-time bowl snubs based on BCS rankings.
Their anchors slide in comments about the obvious need for a playoff.
They even have a simulator feature on espn.com that allows fans to use Accu-score predictions, whatever that means, to simulate what a playoff would look like using an assortment of seeding options.
I don't want to hear any of their crap anymore because they play both sides of the ball.
While they play up to the fans' desire for a playoff, they hand the BCS asinine amounts of cash for the rights to broadcast the same bowls their content would suggest the network was against.
If "the worldwide leader in sports" would have simply told the BCS big-wigs that ESPN/ABC wasn't interested in a formula-based champion, therefore they would not pay to broadcast them, who knows what could happen.
Furthermore, if they could somehow get Fox in on the boycott, where would the BCS turn?
They would either have to contend with the eternal fuzziness of NBC (think about it, watching "the peacock" in HD is like watching ABC on foil-covered rabbit-ears) or possibly CBS.
One of my co-workers suggested that viewers would watch the BCS games regardless of the channel because college football is so popular, even if the games were on Versus.
I disagree, seeing as how I can tell you which channels are ABC, CBS, FOX, and ESPN in two different markets off the top of my head, and I've only heard one repeated comment about Versus.
"Anybody know what number this Versus crap is on?"
ESPN has shown it's true colors on this issue, and I just want them to stop pulling a Kerry and stick to their side.
In addition, even their Accu-score predictions are biased.
I ran the simulator ten or twelve times using the BCS rankings and substituting Virginia Tech for 16th-ranked BYU.
What I got were several upsets, usually to bump Texas out of the first round against Georgia Tech or to get Ohio State past Texas Tech.
Ohio State would not beat Texas Tech ever, nor will they come within three touchdowns of Texas in the Fiesta Bowl.
What's even more interesting is that 75% of my simulations ended with the same championship game: Florida vs. USC.
How surprising, ESPN came up with "Tim Tebow, oh Tim Tebow" against the "mighty Trojans" as the most likely championship outcome of a playoff.
Give me a break.
