Whose deserving are the two best teams in the country. They nailed it, yet again!

It's funny, people want a playoff in BCS, that would be terrible. For one, who is going to make the tournament? Certainly people thought Houston should have, before they LOST to another team in the C-USA. Had they not played a championship game, people would want Houston in the tournament before a 4th place SEC team?!

The reason I hate that is, because now you are clearly making it easier for a non-bcs team to make the tournament. There is no incentive for them to schedule the bcs teams, and no incentive for bcs teams to schedule good OOC teams. A playoff would certainly make this even worse than it is now.

Also, while some fans may not like it, the BCS does always have AT LEAST the best team in the championship game. I personally believe the BCS works perfectly for football, if your desired goal is to find the best team in the country.

Playoff system seems to be working out well for other divisions. Look at the teams who win it

I'm not against the BCS, but when you have one top team and several other teams with 1 loss who have equal arguments, a playoff system allows those teams to backup their resume

Also the playoff system in College Bball seems to working out as well. For the most part the top teams win it

I think that's highly debatable.

No question last year Uconn was not but here is the list. For the most part a playoff system gets the matchups it wants toward the end.
