Tim Keown is one of ESPN.com's most underrated columnists (based entirely on my perception, of course). Here's a quick goldmine from this week's column:
Arguing against the BCS is too easy. It's like coming down against genocide.
Later on, he hits us with the truh all college football fans should accept:
The idea that the winner of the BCS Championship Game is going to be a legitimate national champion is no longer a consideration. So with that understanding, there's only one possible solution: go with the novelty.
That's why the BCS needs Hawaii in the championship game. Throw June Jones and Colt Brennan and all those linemen with the monstrous hair into the title game against Missouri or West Virginia or Ohio State. It would be absolutely in keeping with the spirit of the season.
Forget what the computers say and let it happen. It would answer the biggest question everybody wants to know -- do the occasional Hawaiis and Boise States and other non-BCS conference undefeateds deserve a place at the adults' table. Boise gave a partial answer last year, so why not let Hawaii take it one step further?
Put it this way: Would you rather see West Virginia-Missouri or West Virginia-Hawaii? (People in Missouri, we know your answer. Save it. Besides, you're going to lose to Oklahoma again anyway. There's a pattern here, and your bubble is the next to meet the pin.)
