In the NC Game or Not-The Fix is In

This is a serious problem for LSU, and the fix is already in. Boise State and TCU never earned a chance at the national title and yet they were ranked in the top four down to the wire. They simply did not earn it however talented they were. First, they chose to be in poor conferences (to avoid competition) and did not have to undergo grueling, significant bowl-type games such as occur most weeks in, for example, the SEC and the Big 10 (to a lesser extent). Second, does anyone believe that after playing 10 games against one another, Boise State would have beaten Auburn as many as five times? Three times? Once? Maybe once. TCU? Hard to say precisely how many games TCU would have won. Five? Not a chance despite Auburn hypothetically losing one SEC game.

The root of the problem is bias grounded in the principle of nondiscrimination. Boise State and TCU have been fielding excellent teams for some years now, and they have been discriminated against because of their backgrounds, their conferences. (The dominant Media thinks in terms of discrimination, an evil idea to the Media.) It just isn’t fair, so thinks the Media, that establishment conference leaders (in the Big 10, SEC, Big 12, and Pac 10) are better. The unprincipled exception to the nondiscrimination principle is affirmative action, which the Media cannot admit undermines the primary principle. Therefore, the Media couched affirmative-action type arguments in favor of Boise State and TCU in terms of, “We’re searching for the best team .” Or the Media used the root “deserve” and gave some rational though inadequate reasons
