Tulane's idea

---

What a ridiculous bunch of garbage that was. Some of the divisions are ridiculously weak, while others are much stronger (Alabama, Auburn and Georgia in the same division, while LSU's strongest division rival is Southern Miss?).

And to have won-lost record be the 1st deciding factor? Alabama loses one division game against Auburn or Georgia and they are automatically behind LSU because we whipped up on the crap division we're in? That doesn't make much sense.

Strength of schedule is the next deciding factor if won-lost records are equal, but the tougher division schedule Alabama plays wouldn't benefit them because conference games don't count as much toward SOS as non-conference games. Why? That's moronic. They already give Alabama the disadvantage of having to play tougher teams, then don't even give them the full credit for playing them? What kind of stupid shite is that?

The final tiebreaker is the most moronic. A poll of the coaches of the last-place teams in each conference/division to rank the 10 conference champions? Huh? And they have to vote their conference champion #10.

And then cutting down to 15 bowls, the writer makes some hilarious choices about which bowls will remain and which will be in BCS. The fricking San Francisco Bowl and New Orleans Bowl survive, but the much more established and bigger Gator Bowl doesn't? The Houston Bowl becomes a BCS bowl, but not the far more prestigious Cotton, Capital One or Holiday?

Whoever wrote that was obviously tripping on acid or something. It would be a terrible arrangement.
