With every game, and every "championship", the system in place in college football (BCS) becomes clearer that it needs to be fixed. The easy solution is a playoff. But even that can't reach a consensus agreement. How would we decide is in the playoff? Would it be 64 teams like in college basketball? Wouldn't some teams still get the shaft? And would ALL the conferences agree (Big 10)? Not everyone can be satisfied, but he is THE plan. The plan to end all the questions and controversy surrounding the game today.

For all the attention that the BCS bowls get, it's surprising how little is focused on the actual games. I've heard much more about proposed playoff systems that won't happen then the games that will actually take place. And when people do predict the BCS games, it's about 95% in favor of one team. This year, every BCS game but one features a heavy favorite. Can any of the underdogs win? Which team will surprise the most people? As we've seen countless times, great performance in a BCS bowl one year can lead to a national championship the next.
