Once again, not true.

The BCS's job is to make sure that the two best teams aren't prevented from playing each other because of bowl tie ins that would prevent them from playing.

LSU and Bama played each other.

LSU and OSU did not.

It was the BCS' job to have those two conference champs play each other.

The BCS has been perverted throughout the years by ESPN and the media in an attempt to make it LESS effective, so that we would eventually come to their dream money making machine, a playoff.

They've made a ton of money by bashing a system that would have put LSU and OSU in the BCSCG if they hadn't pushed to change the formula to take out things like SOS and MOV which make the system worse so that they can have more control through the voters and impacting opinion in the polls, like they did with Bama.

The most disappointing thing about the whole playoff, is that the BCS was a bunch of pussies and didn't stand up for their system, so now we have a fricking selection committee which is the WORST thing in the world for CFB.

Say what you want about the BCS, but the poll works if you put the top 4 teams in every year.

They should have gone to 4 teams, and kept the poll, and the system would be perfect.

But ESPN bashed the damn thing so much, they were too afraid to stand up for their poll, and now we will inevitably have a deserving #4 team left our for a shitty media favorite like ND or Boise that gets in over a team like Missouri or Arizona State that may put together a great season but isn't seen as a big draw for the playoff, similar to the way OSU got bumped for a traditional power like Bama.

You watch. It WILL happen.

And then ESPN will push for 6 or 8 teams to make more and more money for them while weakening CFB and leading to 2 or 3 loss champs as a regularity instead of pushing perfection as has been the norm in CFB.

........So that's why I been like, frick ESPN!!!
