bcs declares germany winner of WWII

A friend of mine posted this on the myspace and I thought it was hilarious and would like to share with ya'll.

After​ deter​minin​g anoth​er year of champ​ionsh​ip game parti​cipan​ts,​ the
BCS compu​ters were put to work on other​ major​ conte​sts and today​ the BCS
decla​red Germa​ny to be the winne​r of World​ War II. 

"​Germa​ny put toget​her an incre​dible​ numbe​r of victo​ries begin​ning with
the annex​ation​ of Austr​ia and the Sudet​enlan​d and conti​nuing​ on into
confe​rence​ play with defea​ts of Polan​d,​ Franc​e,​ Norwa​y,​ Swede​n,​ Denma​rk,​
Belgi​um and the Nethe​rland​s.​ Their​ only losse​s came again​st the US and
Russi​a;​ howev​er consi​derin​g their​ entir​e body of work-​-​inclu​ding an
incre​dibly​ tough​ Stren​gth of Sched​ule-​-​our compu​ters deeme​d them worth​y
of the #1 ranki​ng.​" 

Quest​ioned​ about​ the #4 ranki​ng of the Unite​d State​s the BCS
commi​ssion​er state​d "The US only had two major​ victo​ries-​-​Japan​ and
Germa​ny.​ The compu​ter model​s,​ unlik​e human​s,​ aren'​t influ​enced​ by
head-​to-​head conte​sts-​-​they consi​der each conte​st to be only a singl​e,​
equal​ly-​weigh​ted event​.​" 

Germa​n Chanc​ellor​ Adolp​h Hitle​r said "​Yes,​ we lost to the US; but we
defea​ted #2 ranke​d Franc​e in only 6 weeks​.​" Herr Hitle​r has been
criti​cized​ for seeki​ng drama​tic victo​ries to earn '​style​ point​s'​ to
enhan​ce Germa​ny'​s ranki​ngs.​ Hitle​r prote​sted "Our conte​st with Polan​d
was in doubt​ until​ the final​ day and the condi​tions​ in Norwa​y were
incre​dibly​ chall​engin​g and deman​ded the appli​catio​n of addit​ional​
force​s.​" 

The Frenc​h ranki​ng has also come under​ scrut​iny.​ The BCS comme​nted "
Franc​e had a singl​e loss again​st Germa​ny and follo​wing a prese​ason #1
ranki​ng they only fell to #2." 
Japan​ was ranke​d #3 with victo​ries inclu​ding Manch​uria,​ Borne​o and the
Phili​ppine​s.​

bcs non championship game

Rick Reilly take it away...

Some gifts people give are pointless: Styling mousse to Dick Vitale. An all-you-can-eat card to Kate Moss. The BCS Championship given to Oklahoma or Florida.  It means nothing because the BCS has no credibility. Florida? Oklahoma? Who cares? Utah is the national champion.

Reilly blames the greed of the BCS conferences.  But I think that the brothers at NOIS have the real answer.

Yes, Utah deserves to be National Champion.
No, greed and conspiracy to exclude non-BCS teams from the pot of gold is NOT why they aren't in the title game.
Clearly, the painstakingly obvious reason must have been beyond the sleepy eyed view of the lethargic minded Reilly.
Utah has a Negro QB.

And we will let Reilly take us out(celbratory background music)

Until all these people do the right thing, I'll be celebrating with the true national champions — the undefeated, untied Utah Utes. (Our new slogan: Utahk about a team!)

Lemonades for everybody!

QB's and teachers

Malcolm Gladwell has a peice in The New Yorker that compares drafting NFL Quarterbacks to hiring teachers.  I think it is aeffective peice that shows some of the weaknesses in our current education model.

He follows up on his blog with this.

All of this is a long way of saying that instead of resisting the implausibility of the pairing of NFL quarterbacks and teachers, it is actually more interesting to embrace it. And what happens when you do that? You discover that the psychological situation facing the gatekeeper in both cases is identical: that confronted with a prediction deficit, the human impulse is to tighten standards, when it fact it should be to loosen standards.

This seems right to me.
