IMO there was nothing wrong with the bcs. Had it been in place today bama would be playing fsu and I think most would agree that those are the too 2 teams in the country.

There was ALOT wrong with the BCS. And I completely disagree that FSU is among the top two teams. Oregon, Ohio State, TCU, Baylor all have good arguments why they're better than FSU. Merely having an undefeated record shouldn't carry the day, especially when FSU plays in a very weak conference. I think Oregon will destroy FSU in the semi-final.

Why the BCS was not good:

1. Only the top 2 teams made it to the championship game. It's absurd to think it's good to only pick 2 teams out of 128??? There are usually 5 or 6 really good teams in a given year, and then a few more that are on the edge. Two teams is just too few. Once we get to an 8-team playoff, it'll be about perfect (5 conference champs plus 3 at-large).

2. The BCS formula is 2/3 human polls, which are horribly (HORRIBLY) flawed. The other 1/3 is computers, but the formula the computer uses is programmed in by humans.

3. The "committee" concept is universally praised when it's used for March Madness selections and seedings. It's much better than relying on random sportswriters and coaches who don't spend any time filling in their ballots. So the committee concept is far superior to the poll-driven BCS.
