BCS - Is it working

Does the BCS work for you?

It doesn't for me. I think that they should institute a weekend just after the conference title games where the top 4 teams in the BCS meet. The usual 1 plays 4, 2 plays 3 format.

Another option would be to play the top 4 teams as above and the next 4 teams in the same format.

After that weekend, the BCS rankings are back out and the top teams compete in the 4 BCS bowl games. Then rankings again and a week later the #1 and #2 team from the BCS play again for the title.

By adding a max of 2 more games, you get a good mix of the best teams in the nation playing each other more than once.

I know it has flaws, but it's what I can think of right now.

What alternatives have you thought of?

I support a playoff system. I really would like to see USC and Ohio State go at it. I also think that the seasons should start and end at the same time. I know some schools start earlier than others, but can't help thinking that the long layoff really hurt Michigan yesterday. And I'm a USC fan.

Some type of playoff system is needed. They can even keep the BCS ratings for the ranking of the playoff bound teams. The only real controversy should be how many teams in the playoffs and how to tweak the system for those on the bubble.
