The first time I read about the “extra” BCS” game, I immediately thought that the NCAA had finally fixed an ongoing debate by putting in a playoff game for the college football Championship. I was under the impression that the top four seeds would play in two BCS games, the winners facing off in the extra game.
I was not only wrong, I’m now being told it’s to allow more “mid-major” schools to play in the BCS series. This is a joke. It’s about money and everyone should admit it. I have attached the explanation for people to understand the process, but the bottom line is the extra game is about money. College football has been lucky for the past couple years, having the top two teams face off in the finals. Although, a playoff would eliminate some controversy and allow better matchups for non-conference games.
