A BCS System That Works, Perhaps?




As we all know, in college football, it is near impossible to have the same playoff system that is so perfect in college basketball. So why don't we stick with the BCS, all the other bowls and add a playoff at the end of it? Ok, so right now there are Four BCS Bowls plus a national championship game.

If you cut out the Championship Bowl and get rid of two teams (this year would be Ohio State and Utah), then you have eight teams in BCS bowls. I suggest the winners face one another in a four team playoff; it's the final four.

Why are Utah and Ohio State undeserving? Ohio State didn't win its conference and Utah needs stiffer competition.

You ask, why even keep those other bowls then. Well money!!! It will keep the bowl committees happy, increase revenue streams at schools and please donors.

My system isn't perfect, but we are told eight teams plus two at-large teams, or the top 16, or some other convoluted system, which is why everyone complains about the BCS to begin with. So just use it!
