Possible death blow to BCS?
It will be interesting to see how the above plays out. Gotta say, I have no use for the propped up, jacked up, system that is the BCS.
Every sport in the world has a playoff on the field, except for college football.
Really, it's time.

The local sports talk guy brought this up on his show this morning. It so happens he brings in an attorney every Friday to pick his brains about crap like this. After they talked about the legal issues with the Cam Newton situation, he asked him about this being an antitrust situation. The attorney said in his opinion, this didn't come close to being an antitrust situation.

I'm with you; college football needs a new system to see who the best team is but really...... we don't need to decide it in the courts.
Why don't we just have the LBCS, Legal Bowl Championship Series, then teams like Harvard, Yale and Brown can win too! No need to let the players settle it; let's see whose lawyers are best. Not to mention, do Congress and the Department of Justice have nothing better to do than interfere with college football? Shouldn't they be worried about such issues as the economy, health care and perhaps crime? Oh well, no point in worrying, in this litigious society, may be Bama's lawyers are really better than Utah's.
I know...... why don't Utah, TCU and Boise join a conference worth being in?

2004 was a problem with three undefeated legit programs at the top.
2003 was a problem since they allowed a non conference champion in over the #1 team in the human polls. Not as bad as the 2004 situation.
The same thing happened with Nebraska, but no one would have beaten Miami so it really doesn't matter.
Unless a playoff system requires you to win your conference it is just as flawed IMO.

False.
The world's most popular sport - soccer - doesn't have a playoff for most of it's domestic leagues.
The English Premier League, for example plays 38 games - each other team twice - and the team with the best record wins the trophy.
No playoff.

The most conservative estimates of the television rights fees for an FBS playoff are about $400 million a year. The BCS brings in $125 million in annual rights fees.Is it a waste that more than 100 public universities leave hundreds of millions of dollars on the table every year because some of them want more control over where that money goes?

The BCS responded to the news of Shurtleff's DOJ meeting with a familiar refrain. "It's hard to imagine a bigger waste of the taxpayer's money," BCS coordinator Bill Hancock said.
