The people who criticize the BCS are morons. There is no perfect system. No system is better than another. The tournament bracket system is flawed as well. It allows teams to take games off just to get into the tournament. I like the current college. No, I don't think it's fair but it is more fun to watch and that's what counts. Every game is a playoff game in the current college system. If a tournament system was allowed, then teams could give up games. In the current system, every game counts. Look at the NCAA Mens basketball regular season....no one watches it! It means nothing. With college football, every games means something.
I hear announcers saying USC is currently the best team in December. They lament the fact they won't play in the BCS. But USC should have beaten Stanford. What's their excuse for that. I want a team like USC to be penalized for losing to a team like Stanford. A tournament system would forgive USC for losing to Stanford. In the current system, every regular season game means something. And if the regular season matters, the season is more fun to watch.
