Let me see if I understand correctly, in 4 of the 9 BCS Championship games, there wasn't much to argue with who played. In the other 5, there is subjective arguments to be made. So what? In the old system, you'd still have the same arguments. Right now we have major conferences with a championship game and other majors that don't. None of that is fair either. If you set up a playoff, how long will it be before teams begin to "engineer" their schedules to be EXTREMELY weak before their conference games to minimize the chance of a loss? And you know that will happen. How fair will that be?
My advice to the "Boise's" out there, start scheduling tougher non-conference games if you want respect. Week in and week out, the tougher conference teams are better than the "weaker" conferences. They get the benefit of the doubt because they deserve it.
About a playoff...be careful what you wish for...
Sorry, these arguments about scheduling weak opponents hold no water.
What do D1 basketball teams do? If you play a powderpuff schedule you will not get to the big dance unless you are conference champion. D1 football is the ONLY college sport at any level with no playoff. You're saying all the other sports and all other college football divisions don't know what they are doing?
The BCS is designed to protect the income for traditional programs, even if their current teams don't deserve it.
