Is the BCS perfect? No. Does it need to eliminate the automatic bids that put 8-4 teams like Florida State into a BCS bowl? Yes. Do I want media folks determining the national champion? No.

A few tweaks and the BCS would be fair and elimate the backroom politics that goes on in the AP.

Remember, this is the same press that used to award the Heisman to NE schools year after year. The history of the AP is full of stories that are as bad as the BCS.

I am guessing that by your screen name, you are a Texas fan? Anyone want to fathom a guess as to WHO was doing the "backroom politics" with the COACHES POLL that got Texas into the Rose Bowl last year??????

The Bowl Coalition was 100000X better than the BCS. It is absolutely insane to call something the "Bowl Championship Series" but NOT have a series to determine it's champion.

EVERY other sport in the NCAA chooses it's champion via a playoff. Until that happens, NO system is good enough.

Hey, the BCS is an improvement in that it eliminated the locked in bowl matchups. Other than that, it's a work in progress.

Unless you're willing to assert that all other national champs in American history awarded by the AP are questionable, then USC's quest for a third one is just as valid. This year, it's going to work out. The AP champ is going to be the same as the BCS champ. That happens when there are only two undefeated teams. Lucky for them.

They figured it out when it's a no brainer. Bring out the confetti.

To assert that LSU's win over Oklahoma erases USC's national championship in the minds of thinking adults is silly. We know better. They have the AP trophy. It's there.
