That would "fix" things. I like the SEC though and I would like to see them win. And the best part is will hasten the demise of the BCS and bring us that much closer to playoff for college football.

March madness is huge and makes tons of money for everyone. IMHO it surpasses the NBA, maybe because it is short, sweet and simple. I would not be suprised if I felt the same way about college football playoffs.

More of the nation has a "personal" stake in it.

I would have been pulling for Auburn tonight, but this statement just rubbed me the wrong way.
``There are two national championship games,'' Tuberville insisted. ``There's one here at the Sugar Bowl, and there's another one at the Orange Bowl.''

If Virginia Tech pulls the upset, would Tuberville insist that they are the national champion?

The BCS is far from perfect, and we know that it will be tweaked again for next season, but at least it was able to pair the consensus #1 and #2 teams in the Orange Bowl. It's unfortunate that a team can have an undefeated season and not be in the championship game but that's a relatively unusual outcome.

A playoff system would take care of that.
