Well, it's now two years in a row that we have two or more unbeaten teams. The BCS was developed to resolve controversy, but in my opinion there is certainly room for improvement. I am still perplexed as to why so many refuse to develop a playoff system for college football. It would only mean more money for the NCAA, schools, media companies, and many more. They can still use existing bowls as playoff games.
Even if there isn't a full playoff system, if the season were extended by two more weeks it would bring tremendous improvement to the existing BCS system. Any unbeaten Division 1A schools would automatically play in a BCS bowl plus the remaining teams in the top 8. All unbeaten teams would play regardless of strength of schedule, as they should be given the chance to prove themselves. If there are more than 8 unbeaten teams, then the top 8 would play (highly unlikely but you never know). Then there would be two semifinal games and finally a college superbowl. This would bring much more meaning to the other 3 BCS bowl games. Even adding just a single game where the top 2 BCS teams would play each other would be a tremendous improvement, although it would not help Utah this season.

Tsunami Disaster Relief Company Matching
The tsunami disaster in Asia is beyond comprehension. It is far more severe than any manmade or natural disaster we have experienced in the States. I did a bit of research this morning and found this website:

You can search for your company there to find out if they will match gifts given to charities. My company does provide matches, so I will certainly be making a donation through the program. CNN has a list of organizations accepting donations for tsunami disaster relief:

Please help and send a donation no matter how small. If everyone in the U.S. donated just $2, it would provide over half a billion dollars in relief. This would be well over the $350 million that the U.S. government has pledged so far. Feel free to pass this information to anyone you believe may be able to contribute.
