Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 876888, member: 40"] I'm not sure that you understand the circumstances that led to the BCS being implemented. You had conferences with unalterable bowl affiliations. You had different polls voting for different national champions based upon different subjective bias. And you rarely had top teams face each other, which mean that most national champions were crowned without the winner facing the top contender. You can complain about the BCS all you want, but the bottom line was that it was designed to solve those issues and pit the top two teams against each other to determine the NC on the field. It was the bridge between the old bowl system and an open tournament. Some of the BCS criticism is over the top, IMO. [/QUOTE]
