WAKE UP!
The BCS formula was working very well.so one must ask WHY CHANGE IT? after all, the no. 5 team seldom, if any time had an argument for being in the finals...so why not just add one game-two more teams and it would be fine..
Here is the answer..the NCAA wants $$$$ they could not afford the computer to pick 3 SEC teams and narrow the TV audience and the revenues, so they put it in the hands of politics (i.e humans). They started w 13, now 12 ..(who will decide a tie) ??? ... the one w most power. Since the beginning the buzz is ONE TEAM from each major/best conferences..irrelevant of the "sales pitch" of the NCAA of "the best 4 teams" SHAME ON THE NCAA ! Spin it any way you want. NCAA. .. but we all know it is about the $$$ not football.

I find it comical that one day after the first playoff rankings are released everyone thinks they know what the committee is doin. The committee doesnt even know what it's doing.
SEC fans think the new system is out to get them
All other conference fans think the new system is out to get them.
I'm an LSU fan. Right now they don't deserve to be in the playoffs. The Auburn loss was ugly and the Miss St loss was not as close as the final score.
Two SEC teams can still make the playoffs. Specifically Ole Miss and Alabama. If they both win out. They both finish in the top four.
The rest of the season needs to play out before going crazy. The air positive thing to consider is that preseason rankings are no longer a detriment to your teams rank. That's a huge plus.

Hey man I liked the BCS
It basically kept the humans in check. You would avoid wild swings in rankings and it was slightly more transparent
The computers basically set a spectrum for the humans to vote within. Without that spectrum the humans element is free to move teams wildly
I would have preferred that the kept the BCS selection process and just added the extra game to make the 4 team playoff instead of this committee. I
