So the question is who deserves to go to the BCS?

Alabama who's only loss was in overtime to the tuffest team in the NCAA this year or a team who lost to a team that wasn't ranked #1?

I totally understand Alabama being there (assuming they win out), but being in the championship game having played one fewer game is one thing, but possibly going 1-1 against (assuming they make it there) LSU & thus being declare champion would be a load of crap.

It's about how you play on the big stage

Alabama lost on their biggest stage of the season.

Just to be clear, this isn't me talking as a homer-- I try to look at things objectively, hence my understanding why Alabama probably is, to this point, the second most deserving team in the country. The possibility of going 1-1 & being "champion" chaps my ***, though.

With all that said, there's still a lot of football to be played.

I mean, I get the frustration, but the championship game is the championship game. Pro football works the same way, hell, you can go 0-2 against a team and win the division over them, and then beat them in the playoffs and and advance despite going 1-2 against them over the season.

If there were playoffs, I'd have no issue with that situation.

And every year this is brought up, playoffs and everyone says the NCAA should go to it but never does.

I agree a playoff system would bring the playoff down to a bit more fair level but there are so many teams. Would the playoff only be for the top 25? Two or three playoff type brackets with the top 25 competing for the championship?

Also, it will never happens because the bowl games bring in waaaay to much money.

Yup too much money with the bowl system. I'll wait until the final games are played and see if I buy off on the NC selections.

All I know is that I want tickets to the Alabama-Michigan opener next year in dallas, even if i know Michigan likely won't win.

there are 12 conferences out there so take the winner of each, then take the 4 highest ranked teams in the top 25 that did not win their conference and throw them in there and there you have your playoff. in a year like this one there could be 4 teams from just the SEC, talk about lopsided.

While I would love to see a playoff system, realistically there are too many teams for a play off system. As much as the ranking system sucks, it's the best way to do it when you have 100+ teams in the league. Also as others have mentioned, the Bowl games bring in way to much money for the schools to want to change it up.
