Lost Posts: Sucks To Be Hawaii

By Michael Haas

I feel bad for the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors. They won every football game in which they played in 2007. But they couldn't play for a championship because their competition was so bad.

Folks often say that the solution is simple: Teams who wish to play for a championship - teams like Hawaii or Boise State - should schedule good, BCS conference schools in the preseason. But there are two problems with that idea: There aren't enough good BCS schools for every wanna-be mid-major title contender, and B) there isn't any incentive for good BCS schools to play mid-major contenders.

As usual, I think I have the solution. It's inevitable that college football will go to a playoff-format sometime within ten years. But that won't neccesarily solve the problem of these mid-majors. So how about this: a mini-tourney for the mid-majors, for the one spot in the BSC conferences tournament. It could be maybe just one game, like the WAC champ vs the MAC champ, or something.

I hope Hawaii gets destroyed in their bowl.
