Agreed. The BCS could have easily been a playoff with the four bowls, eight teams. Done.

Having a home game with a random top program is so much cooler than a neutral site.

Does sec get rid of conf championship game?

Are Championship games pointless going forward? They seem kinda moot.

If 10-2 teams are currently ranked behind the Tigers how can Missouri stay ranked ahead of us when we beat them

so we know that scenario wouldn't happen with bama or georgia, oregon or washington, etc being reseeded..and if tulane were to lose, do you want an unranked SMU team in there as conf champs? I think it should all be at large with the conf champ helping the resume, but not guaranteeing entry.. can you imagine a 8-4 team winning the conf champ?
