OK, what has LSU done to deserve that spot?* *or anybody else for that matter?

I've been arguing a point about this for a few years now. Why the hell aren't the bowls used to rank teams for the next pre-season poll? How is it fair to Alabama that they aren't #1 anymore? What better way to make more money than to actually have more people interested in the meaningless bowl games? If the bowl committee sat down and said, okay, Meineke Car Care Bowl, you get the #20 team in the nation, and then a choice of a second team 21-24, the team that wins is granted the #20 spot in the polls to begin next season. And whether the #20 team moves up or down is then based off their games, not random arse speculation. The BCS bowl selection would work exactly the same, but by winning, you guarentee the next year's class a spot locked in for next year.

I know the other side of the coin is it boots out preseason rankings, but that can be substituted. Things like power rankings, conference picks, and team analysis could easily fill the media's list of bullshite they come up with, right?
