Why can't you just let both schools enjoy their split championship?

Why do you tarnish the true champion with your weasel words?

Saying that acknowledging that the AP exists and has been a legitimate National Champion since 1936 tarnishes the BCS is like saying the Oscar awards tarnish the Golden Globes, or Miss America tarnishes Miss USA. Really, you're something else.

Conceding "we made a mistake," the head of the BCS said an NCAA basketball tournament-style committee might become part of the selection process next season - reducing the possibility of a split national championship in football.

Big East commissioner Mike Tranghese said Sunday several issues will be discussed in the coming months, including eliminating computers from the selection process and adding an extra Bowl Championship Series game.

The BCS came under intense criticism this season when USC, ranked No. 1 by the media and the coaches, was bypassed for Sunday night's Sugar Bowl. The Trojans were expected to remain first in The Associated Press poll after an impressive victory over Michigan in the Rose Bowl.

Oklahoma and LSU, which finished 1-2 in the BCS rankings, were invited to the Sugar Bowl, with the winner assured of getting the top spot in the coaches' poll.

It's precisely the sort of co-championship the BCS was supposed to eliminate.

"We've got a system that somehow leaves the No. 1 team in both human polls out of the championship game," Tranghese told a group of football writers. "We've got to do something."

Jesus dude, that's the HEAD of the frickin BCS for God's sake!!!!!!!!!!!! Is he tarnishing his own organization?
