Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?
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? In all other situations, especially this year, it's up for debate.
There should be drastic changes, every "major" conference needs a championship game. So get more teams in the Big East and Big 10 and get everyone a championship game. The winners of those get auto bid to the playoff. This completely smashes the lame argument that the regular season is so meaningful now and would be ruined by a playoff. Last I checked, NCAAB regular season is still important and intense. Teams chasing a playoff spot in fb would want to win every game obviously. There would still be rivalries. I'm not sure how people can make the "regular season would be diminished with a playoff" argument. Every game isn't ultra-important, just because a team loses early and it knocks them out of the BCS #1 race doesn't make every other game meaningless. Michigan lost 2 to start the year, and still played hard and won 8 in a row, this is why a playoff would be great, teams who start slow but finish well could and should be considered championship contenders. Also teams need to stop playing Divison 2 teams, it's a huge waste of time, either the team wins easily or they somehow lose and are just humiliated. Sort of reminds me of the whole "Tim Tebow shouldn't win the Heisman, he's only a Soph." argument I sometimes hear. Why does age or class even have a factor in this? If no one that young has won it before, maybe they weren't mature enough to take on tough college competition. Tebow has been all season and deserves the award. I think him being a Soph actually should help his cause, but I haven't heard anyone say that.

Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?
Playoffs suck and are more of a crapshoot than the current system. Plus some of these kids are already playing 14 game seasons which is absolutely ridiculous. If a playoff is added we'd be forcing some unpaid college kids to play in as many games as professional football players. College players should be getting paid anyways.

Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?
The reason we need a playoff is, and with more than four teams, is sample size. If you really want to find out who the best team is (at least by proving it on the field), then the current system doesn't provide that. With 7/8/9 games within conferences and very few non-conference games between top teams, you have no idea how strong each team or conference is. Right now Missouri and WVU are at the top, but most people consider that there are at least 3 or 4 teams better than they are. At least an 8 team, better yet 16 team, playoff is needed to determine who deserves to be called the best.

Re: Poll: best way to determine NCAA Div I Football National Champion?
I don't care much about college football. What outcomes should I be rooting for next weekend if my desire is whatever creates the most whining?

That would put tOSU and UGA in the BCS championship, which would cause approximately four million people to shoot themselves in the head.

I can't paste URLs when on the road but if someone can repaste the story I posted last night, its pretty interesting. The internet sports books make USC a solid favorite if we had a playoff, with OSU or LSU second.
