As an avid college football fan, I hate the BCS more each year. All comments appreciated!

The BCS is simply awful. A playoff is needed. They have it in Div. III, in Div. II, and in Div I-AA. Any excuse for not having one in Div. I-A is simply put, BCS without the C.

Barring an upset of USC or Texas this weekend, the BCS will do what it intended to do (for the first time in several seasons) and that is put the best two football teams on the field to determine the champion.

Without the BCS, USC would be playing Penn State in the Rose Bowl and Texas would be playing in the Cotton Bowl (?). Assuming USC and Texas both win their bowl games, there would be no consensus #1.

Now, having said that, I'm a proponent of a limited 4-team playoff for college football. That would have avoided the Auburn snub of last year and the USC snub from the year before.

I would love the BCS formula to be used to get the 8 or 16 best teams out there for a post season tournament like the NCAA basketball tourney.

Limit the football seasons to 10 or 11 games, use the BCS to determine the best set of teams, and let them play it out. 2 or 4 teams really isn't enough. Honestly I think 8 would be perfect, but I think 16 would work as well.

With 8 teams, you could still go with the big 6 conference tie-ins and 2 at large bids. Or you could do a straight forumula-based field. I think it works out either way this year, but no big deal.

With 16 teams, you could have tie-ins with all 11 D-1A conferences with 5 at large bids. Might share the wealth a bit, and it gets the small guys involved too.

Who wouldn't want to see Fresno v. USC again? I do.

College football: the only major college sport where one can be eliminated from title contention after the first week of the season.

I'll take any BCS game over any basketball game. It doesn't matter in the least what the score is until the final 7 minutes of a basketball game.

Everything up until then doesn't matter. It's just 10 guys jumping in the air every 15 seconds or so.

I don't like the BCS, but I like the idea of a playoff even less. Why does every sport have to be ruined. If they have a college footballs playoff, why not just have a draft for high school students? College football was fine the way it was 20 years ago. Having a playoff will homogenize college football and take away everythign that makes it interesting.

I hate the BCS too, it's geared more toward garnering the most TV ratings than anything else. It's all about the bottom line.

In Division II-A they have a playoff system, and they don't get any national TV exposure at all.

Early season NCAA BB games are meaningless, except for a few teams who end up in March "on the bubble" when strenght of schedule may, MAY, MAY perhaps determine if they make it to the Big Dance..

BTW, take Colorado and the points this Saturday..
