Another year, another BCS gripe

Right. I think you are agreeing with me?

In the BCS playoff system I mention earlier, UT would then make the playoffs with two losses. If they lost possibly once, but that was to a Florida team which went undefeated, they'd still likely get an at large bid to the playoffs.

So, IMO, every game on the schedule remains important. What it would do is probably cancel one game for each team. Though I wouldn't mind these teams giving up one of their glorified "practices" against a team that shouldn't be on the schedule in the first place, it hurts revenue overall and doesn't give the up and coming programs the opportunity to make a big payday.

 

Does anyone think South Florida and Boston College are the second and third best college football teams in the nation just because they are undefeated?

 

I hear ya. But the current system will have South Florida playing in the National Championship if they go undefeated. They will face only three teams ranked in the top 25 and only one in the top 10 this season.

Though I can't blame South Florida for the weakness of their conference and schedule, I also don't see how anyone would think they are legitimately the second best team in the nation. Let them earn it in head-to-head competition against the best teams in the country.

I can't think of another college team sport where they don't have some kind of tournament to determine the National Champion. If the current system for Div-IA college football works so well, why aren't the other sports doing the same?
