The BCS has destroyed the CFB postseason

Before this travesty of a system, the Orange, Rose, Sugar and Fiesta bowl games were the highlights of the CFB season. It was the top 10 teams matching up against each other in a show down of elite heavyweights and always entertaining to watch. But the meritocracy has been replaced by football welfare, where a wretched Big East gets a seat at the table and millions of dollars just for showing up and an 8-5 team gets a BCS game. Five losses!
Look at this year's awful match ups:
Florida State vs. Northern Illinois, in a match up that doesn't feature a top 10 team. They will be giving these tickets away.
Wisconsin vs. Stanford sounds good on paper, but Wisconsin is nothing but a name. They sound good but they've lost FIVE GAMES this season. No team with more that two losses should sniff a BCS bowl game.
Florida vs. Louisville is a mockery. Louisville played ZERO top 25 teams- ZERO. They lost to Syracuse by three touchdowns and to UConn at home. I feel bad for Florida, as this is a no win game for them. They won't be amped for this and neither will anyone else.
Meanwhile, four of the best teams in CFB get left out: #5 Georgia, #7 LSU, #9 Texas A&M, #10 South Carolina. This system is untenable. Ratings are going to be abysmal and advertisers are the people the pay the bills. How can this have happened?

And they are getting rid of it.
People continuing to rail on the BCS make no sense. It's over.

LSU had 3 losses in 01 and made the Sugar...

Has nothing to do with the BCS. Probation and Pelini gave us a 5 loss team in the Rose Bowl

This would've been the Rose Bowl in pre-BCS football
NIU is the only team that would get left out with no BCS. The matchups would get shifted around but the games would be just as crappy.

Neither Louisville or NIU would be there. And what's wrong with taking #1-#10 and making them the five BCS match ups, regardless of conference? Having four of the top ten not playing in the BCS is a travesty.

you do realize they had a seat at the table before the BCS, right?

Playoffs would be fun if we had an eight team system. A four team system is still better than the BCS though. It's been awful.

in the old system, they'd still be "left out"
hell, they'll be left out in the new system, too

Louisville is the Big East champ, they'd be in.
Cause they don't want 4 SEC teams in there.

The Big East went from being a bad conference to something resembling the Sun Belt. Scratch that. The Sun Belt may be better.

irrelevant
the Big East was a major conference who had tie ins and a long history with the big bowls
you can't complain about the BCS changing something that existed prior to the formation of the BCS

First it was a plus one.
Then 4-team playoff.
Now 8.
There will always be detractors. The BCS does its job, 1v2. The rest of the bowls aren't necessarily a formula problem (aka the job of the BCS), they're a result of the rules and tie ins.

money
There is no way Northern Illinois and Louisville in those bowl games will make more money than replacing them with Georgia and LSU.

wrong aspect
there is no way the big10 and pac12 would allow the SEC to take 50% of the postseason money while they got scraps

Correction:
The "extra" BCS Game for the National Championship has destroyed the CFB postseason. This bullshite didn't exist when only 8 teams played in the BCS. Now with 10 you have steaming garbage like Northern Illinois getting in there.

This is why(unless you go to the NC) it doesn't really matter what bowl you go to. Who cares?
