Getting rid of BcS was bad
I am not right about much but I nailed this one. I said when they junked the BCS and went to the committee thing that ppl would regret it and here we are. Now we have teams getting more support because of “the eye test” or well this team was undefeated when this player was health and they discount what happens when a player is injured. A championship is supposed to be won or your opportunity to win one is supposed to be based on your merits not hypothetical stuff. The media hated the BCS because it didn’t give preferential treatment to certain teams. Eye test is the code word for preferential treat for a team or teams. The media lost control of the narrative and the outcome is why they got rid of it.

I'm not sure where you are getting your history. The eye test was very much a part of the BCS. The Harris Poll and the Coaches poll made up 2/3 of the BCS. That is a whole lot of eyes and a heap of humanoids. The last 1/3 were the computers that gave us great #1 teams like Boise State. The eye test corrected such stuff.
The SEC could not have been happier with the BCS. Getting both BAMA vs LSU in a rematch in 2011. The SEC was dominating that thing when it went away. The 4 team playoff came from screaming other conferences that wanted in more often.
