Bryan Burwell, St. Louis Post-Dispatch said it best:
"Of course it doesn't make sense. You know it, I know it, even the doofuses who continue to perpetrate this idiotic Bowl Championship Series system have to know just how fatally flawed and hopelessly messed up their multi-million dollar scam is."
My take? The BCS was a good idea...at first. College football needed something better (at least, everyone was clamoring for something better - little did we know). But as we've seen over the years the BCS system simply does not work. Sometimes, rarely, when the "right" teams win and lose, then the system appears good. But this year has got to be the year that we all agree that the system is broken and must be fixed because we don't want to see this again.
