Yeah, we have an easy schedule this year. Miss Michigan St and Northwestern, instead we have Indiana and Minnesota. Penn State is lousy this year. Michigan at home. Basically, we have 2 tough games (Iowa, Wisconsin).

Probably, there will be an undefeated team from the WAC (Boise-Nevada winner). An undefeated team from the MWC (Utah-TCU winner). Maybe an undefeated team from the Big 12 (Oklahoma or Nebraska). Maybe one from the Big 10. And then the SEC will tell me they’re better than all of them. Who knows, maybe they are. The BCS stinks, there should be a playoff. Of course, if there was a playoff, nobody would argue about who’s better. Who’s the best team in college basketball? Duke. I know this, because I watched them win it on the court. End of argument.

I know I’m in the minority, but I’d hate to see a full-blown playoff in CFB. Maybe one game after the 4 BCS bowls are played, but that’s it. CFB is the only major American sport where the regular season means everything. You have to be perfect. When the NFL goes to 18 games, there will be teams with 8 freakin losses going to the playoffs. Talk about commitment to mediocrity.

Also, the realignment should solve many problems. With NE to the B10, there will be a championship game, thus there can only be one undefeated team from that conference unless something really strange happens. The same goes for the P10 with CU and UU. The BXII is going to play a true round robin, so only one possible undefeated team from that conference.

The addition of Boise State, Nevada and Fresno State to the MWC should qualify that conference for an automatic BCS bid and would likely have only one possible undeated team.
