How does AP "Pull out" of the BCS? They publish their poll, why can't the BCS still use it in their formula? Anyway, the whole thing is silly. There is no reason why the bowl games couldn't have been held two weeks ago, with the winners then playing each other through early January.
Read the article. The AP served the BCS a cease and decist order. The AP owns their poll, they have the final say if they want it used by the BCS clowns or not. Ain't free enterprise great?!
Damn, right! If there's a NCAA Football playoff, it'll be bigger and better than March Madness. Its gotten so screwed, I thought it was bad when Nebraska and Michigan got Co-National Champs the year before the BCS, but, leave it to the NCAA to make it worse.
I totaly agree with you about using the existing Bowls as the tournament structure. Last nights game should have been a first round game.

That would have interfered with the "student-athletes" studying for finals. /s
