Harvey Perlman, chairman of the BCS Presidential Oversight Committee, must be a masterful bureaucrat. Not only does he have a baffling title, he also has a straw man in his pocket, and isn't afraid to pull it out and shake it at you until you get frightened enough to agree with his ...

BCS Chairman Says That A Playoff Is Not An Alternative To The BCS
FanIQ Blog —
Words can not describe how completely off-base the new BCS Presidential Oversight Committee chairman is. University of Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman recently discussed the BCS system in an interview, and his answers were flat out mind-boggling.
Here are some of his more outlandish quotes from the interview, and of course my thoughts on them:
"What I think most people don’t understand is that the alternative to the current system is not a playoff. The alternative to the BCS is going ...

MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog —
... that more often than not crowns something like a winner. (Watch your step or you’ll trip over all those qualifiers.) The old bowl system makes no such effort, and is pure exhibition from which sportswriters and other assorted poll voters extracted their pick for the finest team in the land that year.

EDSBS —
... Rooftop like we bringin’ ‘88 back. That’s the line originally ringing through our brain while considering the new BCS pimp’s comments about bringing back the original bowl system. Fine, if you’re going to be a colossal dick right out of the gate and threaten us with straw men, then bring froth the body and make that fucker dance. It’s an idle threat, a straw man, and further proof of the odd insecurity felt by the BCS power structure as a whole. The checks are too big, the money too good, and conference already too far down ...
