every yr, one team or another will get "screwed", but the important thing is to have the least amount of teams get screwed. with that said, the bcs is (unfortunately), the best thing for college football. there is NO PERFECT SYSTEM that can be used YEAR AFTER YEAR. based on what you're saying, every yr maybe we should let a different number of teams from the same conference have a shot at competing for the national championship? like maybe the big10 or sec has a great yr and has 3 teams all worthy of it, that shit just won't work and someone will always be pissed at the end of the day.

2 reasons why bcs is better than a playoff? well one, the obvious, is that the regular conf will no longer mean shit to anyone. two, i personally believe it's unfair to ask student athletes, especially around the holidays and finals time, to play 2 or 3 or however many more games to determine a national championship. as much as we love the sport, the ncaa reminds everyone constantly that college sports is NOT the pros, the kids are there to get an education first.
the confrences won't matter? do they now?

"Despite losing its final game of the year and failing to win its conference, the BCS still leaves Michigan with the potential to play for a mythical national championship. So much for that argument about the BCS protecting the importance of regular season games."

ya know I've got a friend(yes, I have GT friends. although I would never Fully trust them :P )that has had classes with GT football players and he said, "I can't believe this dummy got into here b/c he can play ball and I had to bust my ass in class!" if you really believe people like Calvin Johnson are concerned about an education or missing classes(not like the Univ. wouldn't make an exception for them) and finals I can't help you. sure academics might mean something to the field hockey players or the water polo team. but the 6'6 350lbs Bubba Jones don't give 2 shits about his recretional managment degree
