Default Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?

[ QUOTE ]
The reason I hate the BCS is, that in the best possible situation (clear cut #1 and #2), then it "works fine". However, it isn't needed in this case. Who needs the computers to tell you who the obvious #1 and #2 are?

[/ QUOTE ]The BCS isn't JUST about the computers. It's also about allowing the #1 and #2 teams to play each other in a bowl game. Before the BCS #1 vs. #2 was fairly rare. And the two years just before the BCS started, one of the top 2 teams was a Pac-10 or Big 10 team that couldn't play the other team because of the Rose Bowl tie-in. (1996: FSU and ASU, 1997: Nebraska and Michigan).
