> Does anybody besides me find it somewhat hilarious that the AP has demanded - not asked, demanded - that the BCS stop using its poll in determining the BCS championship pairings? Does anyone think that will stop the same sanctimonious louts from screaming bloody murder the next time that pairing excludes one the AP's two top-rated teams?

As Grouch Marx said, "Don't leave in a huff, leave in a minute and a huff,
and then leave in a taxi."

I still think this is a story that can only get funnier as it progresses.

But on a serious level, could this be the thread that finally unravels 
the BCS and leads to a real playoff?  The Rose Bowl already seems to 
be teetering on the edge of pulling out of the pool.  I gather there
are a lot of traditionalists in Pasadena who aren't pleased that Texas
is coming there.  

Even a four team playoff would be an improvement, and an eight team 
playoff would pretty much eliminate any pretenders to the throne.
