The BCS is in puberty
You know that awkward stage everyone goes through...well, most people go through anyways. I think it's about 5th-7th grade when the hairs start to pop out of the different areas in one's body, and the males have to experience the dreadful voice crackage. Well, that's where the BCS is right now. It's not quite ready to move out and become a man/woman yet, but it is starting to give its parents a whole bunch of crap. The parents just shrug off the insolence and say, "It's just a stage."
As I sit in my chair reading Stewart Mandel's gripping description of Rich Rodriguez's struggles as an up and coming coach at a prestigous program, I wonder one thing. Is the spread option offense really that great? Is the option another wishbone? Programs like Michigan, Auburn, and Georgia Tech just hired spread option coaches. Teams like Mizzou (who runs a version of the spread offense), Oregon, and Illinois are basking in their spread option offenses' recent success, so there is something to this new-fangled concept which really isn't all that new to begin with, look up Roger Staubach or Fran Tarkenton. Even Utah and West Virginia are keeping their spread offenses that their respective coaches left them, and they have had relative success since. Even mighty mighty Tebow won a Heisman being a spread-option QB.
