Outside the Huddle

OK OK--- THROUGH MANY MANY DAYS OF BEGGING BY JOHN I WILL NOW POST MY FIRST BLOGGING EXPERIENCE.

I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND ALL FUSS ABOUT THE BCS STANDINGS. AFTER ALL IN ANY SYSTEM YOU CAN PLAY THE WHAT IFS. ARGUABLY, IF THE WORLD SERIES WAS PLAYED AGAIN THE OUTCOME COULD BE "AND I SAY COULD BE" DIFFERENT. NCAA BASKETBALL IS EXCITING BECAUSE ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT A TEAM OF LESSER NOTABILITY CAN AND DOES WIN. NOW HOW IS THAT BEING SURE THE BEST TEAM IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION. SEEMS TO ME IT IS THE BEST TEAM AT THE TIME. I THINK PROBABLY BECAUSE OF MY PSYCHOLOGY DEGREE AND THE COUTLESS HOURS YOU SPEND ON STATISTICAL PROBABILITY I AM IN TOTAL AGREEMENT WITH THE BCS. BASED ON ALL NUMBERS ABOUT WHO PLAYED WHO AND THE WON LOSS COLUMN THE STATISTICS ARE A BETTER GUAGE OF WHO REALLY DESERVES THE CHANCE TO PLAY FOR THE TITLE THAN ANY PLAYOFF SYSTEM COULD MUSTER. AFTER ALL THE FIGURES NEVER LIE BUT LIERS ALWAYS FIGURE. GOOD DAY
