Has there ever been a worse year in college football? Even before the season started all we heard about were stupid scandals involving silly things like tattoos. Then we had the tragic events at Penn State. And now we have the annual joke called the BCS, though this year it’s worse than usual. While many of us will concede that the SEC has been producing the best teams in recent years, do we really need to watch two of them play for the national championship?
This system is so lame and corrupt that you have to be either a complete idiot or an overpaid hack on one of the BCS bowl committees to defend it.
Hopefully T. Boone Pickens will start throwing some money around and pull every political string he has to change this system. A real playoff system might be too much for the corrupt conference hacks to muster at this point, but at least we should get to a plus-one system. In the future a final four could easily be expanded to an 8-team playoff.

I’m completely neutral when it comes to LSU, which was clearly the best team in the nation having beat Alabama, Oregon, Arkansas and Georgia this year. But a big part of me was hoping that Georgia would have knocked LSU off and the Tigers still made the title game, because it would have proven that the regular season means very little in college football. (I’m so sick of hearing the talking heads say that the regular season is like a playoff. It’s not.)
Imagine if LSU would have lost to Georgia and made the title game anyway, making the SEC championship game completely irrelevant.
I’m a little bit torn, because I don’t really think anyone can make it an interesting game except Alabama. But yes, a playoff would definitely be a better system.
Plus one system is BS too! 16 team play-off with NO AQ conferences. Take the top 16 teams in theBCS rankings and let them play!! Skip the bye week and get rid of those LAME conference Championship games! Start the play-offs Thanksgiving weekend and have the Bowls finished up by Jan 2nd. It keeps getting longer every year!
I think an 8-team playoff would be plenty, but 4, 8 or 16 are all better than the current system.
I JUST WISH EVERYONE WOULD LAY OFF THE SEC ITS THE BEST CONFERENCE IN CFB AND IF YOU PUT THE TWO BEST TEAMS IN THE NATIONAL TITLE GAME THEY JUST HAPPEN TO BE FROM THE SEC
Ignorant yelling caps is ignorant. LSU already beat ‘Bama. A championship =/= a rematch. Use your brain to find the caps lock key and to make some sense, please. Bowl Corrupt Series needs to go away.
