Do You Agree With The BCS College Football Pairings?

Ohio State was the obvious number one, nobody can deny that. They are the first team in college football history to beat two #2 teams in one year. However, I still think that both Wisconsin and Michigan got shafted. Of course all the talk about a playoff erupted again as it does almost every year. Here is the thing: everyone knows the BCS is pretty much bull, but the money is too good to turn down. As it currently stands, the BCS committee can hand pick the games to create the best match ups so all the games look at least kinda good on paper. If a playoff is instituted then the champoinship could be between 2 teams that have merit, but lack the sexiness of say a Florida, FSU, or another school with a huge fan base. Look at the World Series, the ratings are terrible because by the end, nobody gives a hoot. College basketball has a perfect system and I would love to see it put in place for college football, but money talks, and it sounds real convincing to the BCS committee to stay put and keep the computers.

Florida isn't the #2 team in the country? Who is? And don't say Michigan because they had their shot. Florida has a loss too, but to a top 5 team (at the time). If Michigan were to have gotten another shot, what do you do if they had beaten Ohio State? Play a third game? Give me a break. The system is flawed, but we won't see a playoff in our lifetime. Too much money. The only problem I have with the pairings is LSU/Notre Dame. I hate that Notre Dame gets in Automatically. I wish they would quit being so "high and mighty" and join a conference. After that, all conferences should be forced to play a championship game and the winners play in the BCS Bowls. That would be the closest thing to a playoff and then no one that didn't make it could whine and complain becuse they didn't win their championship game.

I was against the playoff idea a few years ago, but every passing season convinces more and more than we need a playoff system. That's really the only fair way to settle it. Some voters have admitted that they voted for teams that were from their region of the country, and some coaches have actively lobbied for their team to be considered. That kind of stuff is wrong and shouldn't be allowed to influence who's chosen. We need a playoff for sure.

I agree with the Ohio State and Florida pairings and the Michigan and USC pairings, however, I feel that West Virginia was left out of the BCS. West Virginia should be the team that got the at large to play LSU. Notre Dame is highly overrated and still leaning on ALMOST beating USC LAST YEAR......this year they have one decent win, over a 8-4 Penn State team. West Virginia got jipped.....however they will get another chance next year. A playoff system needs to be implemented....they should knock 1 or 2 games off the end of the regular season and have a 16 team playoff......would work great!!!
