That's what's the most frustrating thing to me, it's not better. I'd rather go back to the old nonsense system that the BCS.

At least the old system didn't pretend to solve the problem, it was unapologetically random. I could at least respect that.

Really? Where we'd have a split championship every 3-4 years because #1 and #2 weren't playing each other? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:04 13
- Aboslutely, I'd rather have that. The BCS is a mirage that doesn't fix what it claims to. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 11:09 4
  - All the BCS has ever claimed to do is match the #1 team against the #2 team in a final game - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:10 3
    - 75? - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:14
    - And it's reasoning for doing that is to supposely create a legitimate championship, which it doesn't do. (nm) - musubi Oct 14, 11:12 1
      - IMO, It creates more of a legit championship that the previous system. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:22
- that just made the other Bowls worth watching. Now unless your team is in the game who cares about the John Hancock Bowls of the world... -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 11:06 7
  - right. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 14, 11:08
  - The John Hancock Bowls aren't going to go away if we scrapped the BCS. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:07 5
    - No, but instead of 1.5 bowls that matter, you could have 7 or 11 depending on the tourney size. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:18 4
      - You'd have more games that matter, yes. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:20 3
        
        Why would we? I'm not giving every conference a shot here; this ain't March Madness. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:23 2
        
        You have to. The Utah, TCU, Boise crowd would force it. - Strongbad Oct 14, 11:24 1
        
        That's the 7th spot...maybe 8th if the WAC isn't dismembered. - Will Hunting Oct 14, 11:26
