CHEATED! CAL, quite possibly the best team in the country, has been left out of the bogus BCS. I will agree that UTAH is deserving of a berth in the BCS as is TEXAS but two teams are not as deserving and only in because their conference has a guaranteed berth, MICHIGAN and PITTSBURGH. What should have happened is that PITTSBURGH and MICHIGAN should have went to the bowl games outside of the BCS and the more deserving CAL and LOUISVILLE teams should have recieved berths. You could even make a case that the undefeated BOISE STATE team is more deserving then PITTSBURGH. The BCS was supposed to be set up to make sure the best teams play at the end of the season, yet again this year a third team is left on the outside looking in as AUBURN will be watching USC and OKLAHOMA play for what quite possibly could be theirs, the national title. Until the NCAA steps forward and takes power away from power conferences and sponsors there never will be a true national champion in Division I college football. UTAH is stuck with the task of playing Pittsburgh because it is so much easier for the elite to justify a Pittsburgh loss then it is to justify any of the other teams losing to UTAH. Who is California really cares about seeing Michigan play Texas in the Rose Bowl, may the corporate sponsors lose lots of money on that matchup. We, now more than ever need a Division I playoff system. Take the best eight teams in the country, regardless of conference affiliation, seed them according to the final BCS standings and let the National Championship be determined where it should be determined, on the field, not based on matchups determined through a faulty system that assures all of the power conferences get to play regardless of how bad their teams may be (Big East). You could still allow the major sponsors some sort of access to the games. The remaining teams in college football could still participate in a Bowl System, but the championship needs to be determined on the field.
