Down with the BCS!!!! - Talksox

Here I am, sitting, watching this wonderful game with Louisville and Rutgers and I am thinking that neither of these teams will have a chance at playing for the title. If Louisville wins and goes undefeated, and the Michigan-OSU game is close, then I dont think the rankings will change. That means Louisville will not get to #2 in the BCS. On the flipside, if Rutgers wins this game and goes undefeated, they will not even have a prayer of making the championship. I find this utterly wrong in every facet, that a team from a BCS conference can go undefeated yet get beaten out for the championship by another team from a BCS conference who will have at least one loss. This is wrong, it should be considered criminal, and it has to get fixed. This dilemma could conceivably bring about the death of the BCS and bring about a championship. It is about goddamn time.

Eh, the BCS isn't THAT bad.

One thing that'd help a ton is that their shouldn't be ANY polls until midway through the season. Teams like Rutgers never had a chance from the start based on their ranking. I saw it described by, I think John Saunders, best... it's like a horserace where you disqualify the winner because nobody thought he was good enough to win before the race.

Great comeback for the Scarlet Knights.

I am a ND fan, so it is best for my team for Rutgers not to jump, but this isnt right. Rutgers is in a BCS conference and they are one of three undefeateds from BCS conferences. If they go undefeated in a BCS conference and dont get to play for the championship because a 1 loss team from the SEC gets a shot, then it is wrong, flat out wrong. Have a fucking playoff.

They need to poll the players. If the players are happy with it, then leave it. If not, then fucking change it (which is what I DEFINITELY expect the response to be). I don't understand how voters can determine the fate of a team's season. It's wrong in every aspect.

Are you kidding? Every player on a top 25 team is going to list their team #1. I'm sure if you polled players at a division 2 school they'd say they should be playing for the NC.

I think he meant to poll the players on whether or not they like the BCS...
