College Football Presidents must really think we're Stupid. I'll give them this,They probably can ACE a Celsius test,give a lecture to where 50% of us couldn't comprehend , but I'll take my chances with any of these fools in a common sense test. Because they just don't get it, on this BCS system. And with all due respect Lee Corso, this system doesn't work.
Picking Champions or determing a Championship Game by opinions of Sportswriters and Coaches is basically an obsolete method. Didn't this practice start in the 30's ? Its the freaking 21st Century. Wake up College Presidents. There was No money in all of this back in the 30's. Now College Football is a MultiMillion Dollar Business. You can't determine a Champion or Select teams for these major Bowl Games based on Writers and Coaches who, quite frankly, have their own agendas. College Presidents, your basing your Championship on Objective votes, suspicious voting patterns,arguing over the voting, and whining.
Every Year their is a new Controversy, even after years of tweaking it. How about the latest tweaking to the system. Have the Polls come out later on in the year so lower rated teams have more of a fair chance to move up in Polls. What is that going to accomplish. You still would have ended up with three teams to fill up 2 spots. You still would have a team left out that needs to be playing for a Championship. Who is to say whether Auburn, OKlahoma, USC, LOuisville, Utah, or Boise St are the best teams. How do we know ? If we had THIS System in Baseball or College Hoops, wouldn't Duke or the Yankees be the Champions at least every other year.
Shame on You College Presidents, Your Cheating us out of a Anaheim Angels, Florida Marlins, North Carolina St, Villanova type story. Maybe this would have been a Boise St, Louisville,or a Utah type of story.How are we ever going to Know ? Do you realize what we probably have missed in our generation because of this Indefensible system so we can preserve a game between Pitt and Utah ?
One of the BCS arguments over the years is How important the regular season is, especially compared to other Sports. How do they figure that ? I think its just the opposite. How did the importance of the regular season benefit Auburn, or Utah, or Louisville ? Oh, thats right they didn't look impressive enough one night in a particular game. So these teams are banished to a " Who Cares Consolation Exhibition Game " with " Pitt " and " VA Tech ". Ridiculous argument !!
And how many more times do I have to hear a TV Commentator tell me how great or important these Bowl games are. If you have to keep reminding of this then your just trying to convince yourself. I'm sorry but I can't get excited about these games because to me they don't mean anything. Enough is Enough
I got an idea. Why don't we group all four of these Major Bowl games and put them all on Jan. 1st 9am to 9pm Quadruple Header. Give the 5 major Conferences a slot ( no Big East ) in these 4 games and have BCS pick the 3 at large teams. Play the 4 games and then have a Semifinals weekend the following week and a real Championship after that. 3 extra games would solve all of this, keep the Bowls intact, only increase the season for 4 teams. 4 Major Bowl games could rotate each year for the Championship game. 2 Semifinal game sites could be from existing Bowl games. Also I don't believe there would be a major outcry over the last At Large team being left out, compared to the Backlash that you have now in the BCS present form.The regular season would mean even more in this scenerio because you have a chance to win a Championship by winning your conference or by having a great year and earning an At Large berth.
Like I said, I don't believe a College President could pass a Common Sense test, so this solution wouldn't work.

The problem is we have easy fixes but for whatever reason the NCAA will not make the change. I hope they will listen enough to announce a change for next season.

Red Eye,
What really bothers me is how little football fans seem to be concerned about this arcaid BCS system. Just look at the response to your very articulate post ! Only the General even responded. I guess most everyone thinks once again the BCS got it right ? Number 1 verses number 2 ? Really ? No kidding ? How do you know I ask ? If We used this formula for other Sports I guess We should do as you posted and declare Duke the champion every other year and oh Yeah... sorry Boston but We voted the Yanks the Champion again last year and now it's 86 years for Boston without a Championship ! SORRY Miracle Mets and Joe Namath and his Jets... We voted and you didn,t even make the final. Sorry USA hockey team.... You didn't beat the Russians as We voted and you weren't the winner. To all of the great upset teams in history... sorry but We voted and you didn't make the final ! What a ridiculous system but why do football fans care so little ? We have all these meaningless games ... who cares if you don't have a wager on them ? Help me with some more great upsets ? None of these great upsets really happened... did they ?

Why not at the end of the year #1 verses # 8, #2 verses # 7, # 3 verses # 6, and # 4 verses # 5 ? Then the winners play off for the championship with highest seed playing lowest seed and the other 2 playing with the 2 winners playing for a meaningful Title. Think of the interest and $$ these games would generate. Oh I know why it wouldn't work... the tradition of the Bowl games would be broken ! Oh Yeah.. that's right... the BCS already destroyed that as what is Texas doing in the Rose Bowl game ?

The College President's KNOW we are stupid. They have offered us a piece of crap, and we have bought it ($$$$$$). We buy Tostitos, Nokia, use FedEX and spend with CITI. We sell out every BCS game. As college football fan's, we get what we pay for.

Why should they change? They are getting $$$$$.

It's not the presidents fault, it's ours.

I really have very little interest in any of these bowl games. I will watch every second of tomorrows game between USC and Okl. because I have a lot of $$ on the National BCS Championship but have little interest in who wins any of the rest. Do you actually think most of us care about any of the sponsors of ANY OF THESE BOWLS ?
