LOL this is hilarious.
Even worse is some NFL commentators want a BCS system in place because the Cards made the playoffs while the Pats are left in the cold.

Perhaps I'm biased as a Utah partisan, but seems about right to me .... I suspect Mountain West conference teams have to go undefeated for at least 2 or 3 consecutive seasons to have a chance at even being considered for a national title. It's just the way it is in far and away worst system in major sports, pro or college. NCAA football could be great (by integrating the major Bowls into an 8-team playoff system -- not a particularly difficult task), but as it stands they're both a laughing stock and a source of endless frustration.

German Chancellor Adolf Hitler said “...we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks.”
More proof a playoff system is badly needed.

The BCS is not perfect and I sort of understand Utah’s claim. Still I think Florida probably is the best team in the country. If not Florida, then it is probably Texas.

The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event." WTH? "Single, equally-weighted 'event?' " Too bad that computer wasn't at the "single, equally-weighted event" of Stalingrad the winter of '42-'43. Those ~2, 000,000 casualties could have used this information to figure out who really won the seige/battle single, equally-weighted event. (/sarc) Idiots.

I think the BCS system is obviously the best way to go.

Here's a tip, Don't use a video camera to win games.
