At the risk of turning into this blog's semi-official sports department, I noticed this morning that the Associated Press has told the Bowl Championship Series to stop using the football rankings voted on by its media members in its calculations of which teams get into college football's biggest games.

This comes on the heels of a second straight year of controversy that stems from some very simple math: three really good teams can't fit into a game with only two participants. Apparently, some college presidents are ready to junk the whole system. AP may have just done it for them.

Of course, based on the stuff at the bottom of Ivan Maisel's column on ESPN.com, AP's got some work to do cleaning its own house. Voters who obviously help the home-state team should be taken out of the rotation.

And while we're at it, is anybody really going to watch Pittsburgh against Utah? Or Virginia Tech get crushed by Auburn? (The Hokies could do the system a huge favor though, which is probably why some power-that-is didn't want the Utes to have a chance to knock off the Tigers.) That's right, give me back my Rose Bowl and add a game at the end of the season to pit 1 vs. 2 after playing all these other games.
(And why is there a Tire Bowl but not a Glass Bowl?)

O.k., I'm done ranting about college football. Back to your regularly scheduled snow storm.
