This is just sour grapes by someone who doesn't want to believe that LSU is #1 and Bama is #2, which they very clearly are.
Not a fan of BCS, but it's the best solution we've got unless you want to extend the college season into February with a bracket of 16.

The NCAA FCS (Formerly NCAA Division II) just concluded a 20-team playoff... last game was on Jan 7th. The FBS (Formerly Division I) with a 2-team playoff doesn't end until Jan 9th.

I'm going to let you in on a huge secret. There are college football teams that engage in a 16-team playoff series. It's a dirty little secret that the BCS and Division I athletic departments and media try to keep hidden from Division I fans.
Three out of the four college divisions that play college football have 16-team playoffs.
FCS:

Division II:

Division III:

16 Teams
First Round: November 19
Second Round: November 26
Quarterfinals: December 3
Semifinals: December 10
Championship: Dec 17
I had an athletic director from a public BCS school with over 25,000 students and plenty of money tell me to my face that BCS teams doesn't have the resources to engage in a playoff series and that the players couldn't handle it.
And yet, Division III PoDunk University with 2,200 students and which is a private university has the resources to compete in a 16-team playoff series.
No offense to alumni of
the University of Mount Union which came in second to
the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the Division III championship.
I just find it amusing that a huge school with tens of thousands of students and alumni who donate millions to athletics doesn't have the resources to compete in a playoff series, but a privately funded university with 2,200 students does.

Neither one looked like it belonged in the top 10. There were very few plays that were worth remembering.
The New Year’s Day were much better.
