Look at those top 16 bcs rankings, there would be a handful of "upsets" in that group, this year and every year.
I've admitted it's flawed several times and needs changes. Does that mean it needs a complete overall, in my opinion? No. I have nothing against playoff supporters but I'm against it.

are all undefeated right now. As it stands right now, they all deserve a shot at the NC. None of these teams play each other except Utah and TCU, so they could all finish undefeated. How do you decide who deserves a shot at the NC? Computer polls?
The computer takes into consideration WHO you beat.

Sorry, TCU and Boise State.

Beating cupcakes doesn't benefit those other schools so you have no right to expect it should benefit TCU and Boise State either.

Maybe Boise State should develop their other sports so they would be more competitive in a conference.

Not many conferences looking for a 1 sport university.

Can't speak for Bosie State, but (for this season) I wouldn't call Baylor, Oregon State, Air Force, SDSU, and Utah "cupcakes".

Oregon State is pretty mediocre right now, but still....

This thread is evidence that even if the BCS isn't great for college football, it's great for generating opinions and publicity.

(Mod note-so long as the opinions don't cross the line)

(comments about the university is off topic in relation of the thread) Next thing you know, the University of Phoenix is going to want in the BCS Title game.

Fans of Pac10 schools are just sick of MMouseU because their insistance they should be allowed in the conference...when they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near it. It would hurt our image, big time.

Those are better than Florida, Arkansas, South Carolina, LSU and Auburn?

If Bama has 1 loss and TCU has 0 losses I'd easily take Bama. I'm sorry, I like TCU but Bama deserves to get back in if they run the table...and if 2 of the 3 of Mizzou/Oregon/MSU aren't undefeated.

Didn't say they were better. Just said they weren't cupcakes. And you don't have to take them. That may just happen anyway....

If Bama wins out and can't jump TCU then BCS is a joke and the AQC should take their money and leave.

Outside of undefeated teams from the Pac10, BigXII or Big Ten...a 1 loss team from the SEC should automatically be put in the title game. It should be written into law.

Trust me-- Alabama (ranked #7 currently) is the only one loss team that can win out and jump TCU and Boise State. But a lot of things will have to go their way...

1. Auburn will have to be ranked #1, and Alabama will have to beat them in the iron bowl
2. There can be only one undefeated AQ team left (that is who Alabama will play)
3. South Carolina will have to keep winning in the East, if they win the East division and don't lose any more games, they will probably be ranked #10 - #13. If Alabama can beat them in the SEC championship, they will easily jump undefeated Boise or TCU.

And honestly, if I was a betting man, that's how I'd bet this season will turn out: Alabama vs. Undefeated AQ Team (Oregon/Michigan State/Missouri)
