Think you’re pissed at the Rose Bowl conferences (Big Ten and Pac-10) for keeping together the idiotic BCS? Try presumptive Republican nominee John McCain. By the polls we’re looking at, it’ll be Buckeye, Hawkeye, Bruin and Huskie fans that do in the GOP.

According to our friend at Electoral Vote Predictor, the school’s hellbent on denying college football a playoff system reside in the same places that will deny John McCain. Of the eight Big Ten states, Obama leads in seven of them; only Indiana has McCain polling ahead (which gives John and every one in the GOP another reason to hate THE Ohio State University). Current Big Ten leads would give Obama 106 electoral votes, and only allow McCain the Hoosier state’s 11.

The Pac-10 would be more of the same, although a smaller number of states (only four make up the conference). Leads in California, Oregon and Washington would net Obama 73 more electoral votes; McCain only leads his home state of Arizona (Wildcats, Sun Devils), which would give him ten.

The good news for McCain? The SEC still loves you: All ten states there have him ahead, and he wins a majority of states in the ACC and Big 12 (Obama dominates the Big East, but since the league’s hoops expanded to 206 teams, we’re still trying to figure who’s in and who’s out).

The bad news? McCain’s losing polls in the state of every MAC school. And we’ve said before and will say it again: No one gets to the White House without Akron.

UPDATE: Ok, we screw up sometimes, and while it usually takes beating us with a tire iron to admit it, eventually we do (please, drop the tire iron!!!!). McCain is winning one MAC school: Ball State, based in Munice, Indiana. So there is some hope, John boy.
