I understood that. Again, however, the issue is who picks which teams are in? Do you boot the SEC championship loser to make room for TCU?
How’s this for an idea?
EVERYbody leave two unscheduled games. Have the opposition chosen by merit, but the opposition can’t be in your own conference, or someone you played in a bowl game the last year anyway. Schedule Boise St. to play Texas and Florida, and then going undefeated would mean something! Then the current system would make a little sense. No-one would have to pretend that these matchups were the end all and be all of football, but Boise St. could still prove something if it “only” beat Texas and Alabama, or even Kansas and Alabama.
Little side note:
With fully HALF of the Big East now in the BCS Standings Top 25 (and Rutgers not far behind), can people knock off knocking the Big East (not that anyone has done that here)?
West Virginia’s Sugar Bowl victory a few years back may just wind up being the most fateful game in college football history, since it helped defend against the argument that the reorganized Big East didn’t belong in the BCS.
