Default Re: \"Fixing\" college football -- let\'s see your solution

I don't know a single person outside of Auburn [and even some Tiger fans] that thinks they were better than USC, esp after barely beating a mediocre VaTech team while the Trojans annhilated a very solid Okla team by 40, when Okla was undefeated.
Okla was favored for 3 weeks until about the day of, I think they went off as the favorite at some books. Nobody thinks VaTech was remotely as good as them.

If you go undefeated with a top 2 SoS [relative or absolute] you go to the BCS. Simple. If you schedule patsies, you forfeit ALL rights to complain.

What's the nightmare scenario? Okla, USC, PSU, Fla all go undefeated this season. So say Okla and PSU win v the other 2. Oh noes!! Worlds be ending! Both teams and fans and students and alums and communities get to celebrate!
The horror. The horror.

Actually, the system's even worse than that. The most likely scenario the way you're describing is that USC and Florida would play for the national title, while Oklahoma's Fiesta Bowl game against Rutgers and Penn State's Rose Bowl game against Oregon are left as complete afterthoughts.

Seriously, why shouldn't we be able to crown a national champion every year instead of just occasionally when it's convenient? Your argument is like when they call it a tie at the end of a little league game in some kids movie so that no one has to lose.
