It happens only in college basketball, which
has the most democratic qualifying system in sports. It also exposes
college football as a tinhorn dictatorship, where the bureaucrats
decide which of two teams gets to play for an imaginary title and where
no one else, not even the third-ranked team in the nation, is allowed
to compete.
It’s a
loss for football, which could use an upstart — even a 10th-ranked one
— coming through once in a while, like the Giants did this year in the
NFL. But that’s the BCS’s problem.
And
right now, we don’t really care if the BCS chooses to continue to be
the enemy of fair competition. (We’ll start caring again in late
August, when the season begins.) All we care about now is that Georgia,
the most unlikely of qualifiers, is adding its own touch of Madness to
March.
