I like the BCS. I do think it needs a + 1 and act as a 4 team playoff using the BCS formula to decide the 4 teams.

I don't know about <3 the BCS, but in the past, the SEC Champ and Big XII Champ wouldn't even play each other, leading to this mess possibly not even being kinda sorted out on the field.

so, it's better than that.

my only problem with the BCS this year is the fact that the Big East and ACC champs are going to make it into a BCS bowl over Boise State.

Compared to what we had before? It's not even close.

the goal of the BCS was designed to allow the top 2 ranked teams in their poll to play each other for the title.

i think they had it right in 03 and 04,but other than that, i think it has been pretty cut and dry

the way college football ranks and schedules teams is an absolute joke though

A plus 1 would be prefect. Keeps every game relevant and important and improves the post season

FACT

It has tons of shortcomings, but two crystal balls in the LSU trophy case makes me like the BCS very much

why?

this year has not finished yet, but what other year had 4 teams with a legitimate gripe to play for the title?

2004 for sure, although Utah would have been a longshot.

2001, 2003, 2004 and 2007 would all have been less controversial with a plus 1

I don't remember, Utah wasn't 4th, although they should have been. Adding a +1 to the system exactly as it is now wouldn't be the best answer either.

While I don't think it is the most fair way by any means, I think the drama leading up to the final standings and everything that goes with it is always enjoyable.

Even if there was a playoff system, people would still be bitching just like they do after Selection Sunday in March.
