The BCS gets a bad rap--and of course, that happens because it was made more subjective over time. It originally started out with a great premise--instead of these disparate polls picking the NC, and often picking different NCs, or not being able to get a NC caliber game due to conference bowl affiliations, let's dispense with both of those, come up with an objective formula, apply it, and figure out who should actually play in the NC game. The problem was, they didn't like the initial few, and changed the formula so that the polls [the subjective part] had a bigger and bigger influence over the calculation, which kind of defeats the purpose. I don't care what the evaluative criteria was--if you don't like them, tweak the variables and / or their weightings. But the BCS isn't the villain -- it was the people who wanted to corrupt the intent by factoring increasingly high levels of subjectivity into what should have been an objective measurement.
