SummaryCollege football is broken; in fact, it has been for as long as anyone can remember. The rankings system used by the NCAA to decide which teams get to play for the national championship every year is an entirely subjective process, and is inherently flawed.

The answer is simple: scrap the BCS and add a small playoff system to the original bowl system.

SummaryAppalachian music. Usually paired with the image of hicks on a dilapidated porch in West Virginia. To some Americans, Appalachian music could seem to be a genre of simple minded folk songs from a poor town in the southern mountains of North America. Some people may simply think of the Deliverance theme song, met by the image of a handicapped child playing his banjo in the trails of Appalachia. What most people do not think about is the significance that Appalachian music plays in most of the music America listens to today. This music has influenced many other genres, including Rock & Roll, Classical and even Punk, and especially what we know today as urban folk.
