re: BCS Champion should be # 1

My biggest problem is that ONCE THE MEDIA HAS CHOSEN THEIR TEAM, it is there to stay.
My idea would FORCE the #1 spot to open up... if an undeserving team were to have it.
I am talking about the previous year's Champion which would likely still be in the top 10.

The Champ should be #1 UNTIL THEY LOOSE IN THE FOOTBALL FIELD, not until they loose in the media.

I 100% agree that often it is almost near impossible for preseason top 5 teams to drop in the polls unless they lose no matter how bad they look (although it has happened; 1994 Penn St. et al) and the last couple of years there have been flip-flops in the polls with undefeated teams (Texas jumping Cal 2005) but that doesn't mean last years champ should have this luxury. What makes them more worthy...because of last years record? This isn't boxing or chess for that matter...there is no reigning world champion. Every year is a do-over.

While Georgia might not end up being worthy at least they are some kind of consensus among voters taking an educated guess versus putting a paper tiger (no relation to LSU) up there.
