As one of the millions who love to watch college football (Go Hokies!), it is of no use for me to decry the BCS in light of a play-off system since every TV and radio analyst in the U.S. is already doing so. But I have not heard much about the TERRIBLE JOB FOX IS DOING FOR COVERAGE OF THE BCS GAMES!! It's honestly hard for me to begin to criticize the entire operation, but a couple of problems:
1. The NFL is not the measuring stick for every play, player, tradition, event, etc. that occurs during a college football game. Since these announcers primarily have experience with the pro's, most references made are comparisons to the NFL; and it comes off as if college football is lacking in its own richness. Many, many college football fans could give a flip about the NFL, and even for those who enjoy the NFL those references are very annoying and exhibit little respect for the game being played.
2. Way over-produced. Did you see a) the BCS selection show, b) the intro to the 2007 national championship? Holy cow.
To be fair, I like Fox's handling of the NFL (although they lost a lot when James Brown left), but stick to the pro's and leave college to Disney.
