BCS

The BCS (Bowl College Series) system in college football which decides who will play for the national championship needs to be done away with. The national champion should be decided through a playoff like every other sport. Yes, rankings and strength of schedule are important, but don't let a computer decide who gets to play in what Bowl games. This messed up system dealt away Texas' chances of playing for their own conference championship because it's in the rule book that in a three-way tie in the Big 12 conference, the team with the highest BCS ranking goes to the championship game. Oklahoma will be representing the Big 12 South against Missouri who won the Big 12 North, even though Texas beat them during the season. Also, Texas Tech beat Texas, but lost to Oklahoma...why don't they get to play in the championship game? It's because the rules are messed up. Now, if you're not a college football fan you're probably saying who cares, and that's fine, but most of the people who do care about college football are making this same argument that I am right now because they know there should be some sort of playoff system implemented. Just give teams an option at the end of the season..."you can play in this bowl game, or you were the winner of your conference and ranked high enough to participate in a playoff for the national title." Whatever works best, I could go on for pages with different playoff scenarios and formats that would be better than the system we have now. Those with the authority to implement a playoff system, please...make the change.
