All the sports radio today is talking about what a farce it is that Bama is the BCS champ. How do you fix the system ACF?

every other college sports has a play-off.
its not like the ncaa has no experience setting up or scheduling a play-off system.

All the sports talk is that Alabama is the best college team in the nation. You must be listening to Sith on his internet radio broadcast.

But yeah, start with a +1 playoff.

Doesn't matter, winning when it counts is what "counts"! The BCS system is borked and always will be so arguing that is pointless. But they beat LSU when the pressure was on, and bad.

/shrug. They beat the snot out of the annointed #1 team in the championship game. The polls agree. They don't come to ACF to see what the crazies think.

Maybe it was all their wins that were flukes.

There's a lot of things about how American Football is setup that I don't like.

Few games per season.
No playoffs.
Disproportion of downtime vs. playtime.

These have been barriers for me for it becoming a decent spectator sport.

The bowl system is never going away. Get used to it....or continue to argue if you like to beat your head against the wall.

I don't see what everyone's problem with the BCS systems is. Basically the teams play mutually exclusive subsets of one another (for the most part) then a group of sports writers, coaches, and computers with advanced algorithms pick the best teams from the given data points. This is obviously more scientifically accurate than trusting the outcome of one single high-variance game to determine a champion. Furthermore, I think they should adopt this strategy in all sports, instead of having a world series, they should just use advanced metrics, computational algorithms, votes from experts, and votes from coaches and ex players to determine the major league baseball champion.

Yes, I'm thrilled that some college in Alabama is now the champion. Hopefully one day some college from my state can be the champion of something.

When's the Bulls game coming on?
