Theres no doubt it could be better...I relish having a BCS Playoff, not just basing everything on 2 polls and a computer. What hinders this, and people hate to admit it, is the colleges themselves. Every Division 1 school out there hopes they can get into a Major BCS Bowl (Rose, Sugar, Orange & Fiesta), but, they will also settle for the lesser bowls as well since there is still millions of $$ on the table! If a playoff system was enacted tha did away with the Bowl Games, all of College Football would revolt.Tommy wrote:No but I can lay it at the feet of 5 or 6 teams in the top 15 when I'm not so sure if it's accurate since they only play each other and scrubs.
It's like the "AL East is the best". OK, 3 legit teams. Then the always fail Blue Jays and the notorious Orioles. Playing an actual tournament has AL East team not making it through the ALCS in 2 years. And I'm a Yankee fan.
I'm really just bitching that there's no tournament. And the "well, it's flawed but..." doesn't really hold water. It's a complete bullshit system with no rhyme or reason.
I find myself wanting to "bridge" the 2 systems... either have a 16/32 team playoff, using #`s 1 & 2 from each Conference, or use the Conference Champions and seed them according to BCS Computations we use now. There are presently 11 Conferences, (ACC, Big 12, Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC, CUSA,MAC, MWC, SBC, WAC), add a "false" conference for teams like Notre Dame, Airforce and Army, and that rounds out to 12 possible conferences. Utilize 11 single "Bowl Playoff Games" starting 2 weeks after the Conference Championship games, play 3 games per day for a week for the first set and continue on until left with 2 teams...those 2 teams play for the BCS National Championship.
It doesnt matter in the end, unless Congress steps in, you will have the BCS as it is right now for the foreseeable future...and it is a faulty system at best.
