Unlikely Memphis/Mississippi Teams Make New BCS Standings
In an unheard of move, the BCS Bowl Committee has unseated previous number 1 and 2 ranked USC and Texas in favor of fantasy football team Memphis Malt Liquor Warriors and Ole Miss, respectively.
Gary Zyriek, owner of the Malt Liquor Warriors is thrilled that his team will have a chance to vie for the coveted BCS National Championship trophy.
The Warriors who started the season 1-3 have improved to 4-3 at the midpoint of the season with wins over strong rivals LaLevee Looters and the Mojos.
Zyriek, using every sports cliche he can muster says "this team has really come together-we've gelled- and overcome the adversity that we've faced. We've given it 110% every week, we take just one game at a time, we're not gonna get ahead of ourselves and it ain't over 'til the fat lady sings."
Although many argue that a 3-loss team does not deserve a shot at the national championship, the computer rankings indicate that the Warriors strength of fantasy schedule far outweighs anyone else's in NCAA Division 1A-- a division in which the Warriors do not even compete.
Jeff Sagarin, statistical guru, says that a fantasy league team in the NCAA championship game is not a cause of concern. "The BCS is designed to match up the 2 best teams, period. Hell, one year the first BCS standings to come out had Miami (FL) projected to play Tonya Harding in the Sugar Bowl."
Pete Carroll, BCS bitch and USC coach, brushes off his team being slighted by saying "it's all up to the computers; whatever happens on the field is irrelevant. I don't understand the computers but it seems like they're doing their job."
Also in question is how a 3-4 Ole Miss team is projected to be the #2 at the Rose Bowl. New to the SEC, Coach O explains "well, I don't know how things work in the South but I've heard on several Ole Miss sports call in shows that with 4 games remaining we still have a shot at going 10-4. I also hear that we may go 11-3 once the instant replay reviews by the SEC may determine that Alabama actually missed the final second field goal in Oxford. And tying a team that's ranked 40 places above you technically counts as a win."
