If only this were a commercial, then it would have its own tagline custom-fit like a wide receiver’s glove: “Bashing the BCS, so easy Notre Dame’s football team could do it.”

And we get it. It’s easy to rip on the BCS. It’s mocked so often that “NCAA Football brought to you by the BCS sucks” should just be stitched on every game ball, plastered outside the stadiums and weaved in to Lee Corso’s hair.

The BCS might be in shambles (just ask fans of Texas and Texas Tech) but at least fans will get a chance to see the two best teams in college football duke it out. A week after the computers jumped the shark by declaring Oklahoma the winner of the Big 12 South, and fully a month before the BCS Championship game in Miami, the top team in the land already will have been determined after Alabama and Florida knock heads in the Georgia Dome….(’continue reading’)

Tonight the MAC has one of its biggest games so far this season, as the No. 17 ranked Ball State Cardinals (10-0) look to remain perfect on the season when they travel to take on the two time defending MAC Conference champions in the Central Michigan Chippewas (8-2). Now Ball State might have the better record overall going into this one, but both teams are 6-0 in conference play with just two games remaining, but its not just them as Western Michigan sits at 6-1 with a matchup against Ball State in the final regular season game. Now there is no question the Cardinals have more to lose going into this one, as a perfect record and Conference Championship will likely land them in a big time bowl game this season.

In a defensive battle…somehow Marve actually played well bringing UM to victory. Marve looked good throughout the game rushing almost the same amount as pass attempts. I think VTech could have won this game if they did not throw hail marys with 8-6 mins left in the game. WTF were they thinking?

Regardless…Vtech covered. Bringing me to 6-1 … +14 units since I started picking games last weekend.

Later today (around 2pm) I will post my picks for Saturdays games.

First…please take a second and answer the poll questions to the left.

Second…I know V-tech and UM are both a long shot to effect the BCS bowl games. Both need to win out and there is a good shot either of these teams can sneak into a BCS game this season.

Virginia Tech (6-3) at Miami (6-3) – Thursday
*Bonus Pick: Temple (3-6) at Kent State (2-7) – Wednesday
