MY BCS opinions

The BCS was formed so that "split" National Championships wouldn't occur. Now that is has a possibility of happening, I say get rid of it, or change the formula. The fact is that USC got SCREWED. They are ranked Num. 1 in both human polls and not playing in the national title game, c’mon. I fell that there should be some sort of plan that guarantees that if the human poll number one should automatically play for the title.

3 out of the 6 years that BCS has gotten it wrong. Once again they are wrong, Oklahoma has no business play against LSU. USC won the Pac 10, LSU the SEC, and Oklahoma LOST the Big 12 championship game. Yet OU still remains at the number 1 rank. I hope that LSU spanks OU so that it is proven that they should have been there in the first place. It is just like two years ago when Nebraska got in and was killed by MIAMI (I’m a CANES fan so that’s why its capitalized).

I personally fell that the best solution to having a sole Nat’l Champ is to have a playoff system. The top 8 ranked teams (use the old BCS formula or a similar version) and 1 play 8, and so on. Have these games take place where the old BCS games did so that the money will still be made. You can also have the lower-lever bowl games still be played. This way the NCAA will make the same, if not more, money than they did with the old system. The playoffs work in Div. 1-AA, 2, 3 so why can it work in 1-A. I say you give it a try like you did the BCS and if it doesn’t work then ah well.

I am done with my rant and if you don’t agree with some of my opinions or just want to talk about it, you can IM me: linkinman8, send me an e-mail, or a PM.

Of course, the BCS ignores the fact that there will be controversy whenever there are an odd number of teams with the same record at the top, or when there is only one team with the best record and more then one team with the second best record. Since that happens almost every year, there will always be problems with the BCS.

The BCS gets the job done better than anything else that we have (determines the 2 best teams in the country)


Playoffs arnt gonna work


Human polls are biased

I still like USC more than LSU, b/c their offense is just amazing, but thieir coach did the right thing by being classy about it and saying they couldn't do anything else after beating oregon

Maybe their Athetic Director will try to schedule harder teams for the future, maybe they will learn their lesson now.

And it is their fault their not in, they did lose remember

Excellent point. Any of the top 3 teams could have silenced all critics by not losing. Perhaps we shouldn't point out the shortfalls of the system but rather those of these 3 teams...
