Re: \"Fixing\" college football -- let\'s see your solution
* 8 teams is way too many. The reason people think BCS is flawed is because of the two years where there were 3 legit candidates for title of "best team". The easiest solution is to make a 4 team playoff. Two of the BCS games for the 1/4 and 2/3 games then the current "BCS championship game" as the Finals. No additional games. No change to existing bowl game structure. Very simple to implement.
* I disagree with MT2R analysis of college basketball. He seems to say that only one team in basketball has a successful season, but that is obviously wrong. Simple example: The year Maryland went to the Sweet 16 after years out of the tourney, it was a success to them. The fact that they didn't win it all didn't matter. They went to the Sweet 16 and treated the season as a success. That's true of a lot of teams. Same can be true of football. If Duke went 7-5 and went to a bowl game and lost, it would still be a success for them merely because it comes after years of suckiness.
