BCS is a joke..VaTech at #6...look at their schedule..if they were in the SEC, they'd have 2 wins..
The BCS is a joke, but look what it has to work with. There is no consistency in scheduling or conference structures.
They could set up a playoff and have a very rigid entry requirement — CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS ONLY!
Right now there are 11 conferences, these could easily be consolidated down into 8 conferences — indeed some of the smaller ones are looking at combining already.
BY combining and making larger conferences you force a Conference Championship game. The champions then enter the playoff, and everyone else is available for bowl games just as they are now.
With an 8 team playoff of conf champs and the conf champ games you end up with a defacto 16 team playoff.
QED!
There are three football conferences that really matter;
The NFC
The AFC
The SEC
I know it’s hard to take for some folks, but Vanderbilt could kick the shine-ola out of 95% of the rest of the Division One teams out there on any given day.
(and they’ll probably do it to Rocky Top this weekend...sadly)
