BCS Stupidity

[manbearpig]

How is this any different than any pre BCS seasons? The options are:

1) Writers and coaches decide.
2) BCS.
3) Playoff.

Options 1 and 2 are both going to have the same negative scenarios as you described in your OP, with option 1 slightly worse, and option 3 would suck really really hard.

So what is your solution?

The purpose of the BCS is to keep as much money in the BCS' conferences as possible. That's why it was created.

Your fallacy is actually believing that the purpose is to crown a national champion. It's all about the greenbacks and has nothing to do with sport.
