After the embarrassment last nite the Big12 is now a mess, they say its most likely gonna come down to style points. UT took care of OU, Tech took care of UT, OU took care of Tech, its gonna be a wild ride.

ITT: We list reasons the BCS is a total fucking joke.
I used to like CFB, but I just can't watch it when the championship game is coming down to bullshit like this. And worst of all, I hate people that use the "There is a playoff system, it starts week 1" argument. Tell that to Auburn fans a few years back who went undefeated and didn't make the championship game. Tell that to Boise State.
This is me giving a great big FUCK YOU to the BCS for ruining a great sport with a ridiculous system of determining a champion. It's cool though, they only get 5 weeks off before the Championship game.

There literally is a ton of complaining going on about the system this year. Hopefully they do something about it in the off season, I doubt it will happen over night I just hope it gets fixed in the near future.

The other polls had Texas Tech ranked #2 too. So you can't say the BCS is BS because of that simple fact. It is a flawed system, but it is still better than what we had before the BCS. Also no matter what they do will not everyone will be happy. I think the major change they need to do is the big lay off b/w the final regular season games to the bowl games. Thats the major issue to me.
I think a +1 game would be the best fix, but if they did do a playoff system. I think they should make it where the 6 major conference champions and 2 at large bids get to play for the national championship. As it is right now I would like to see them make a rule that states that if a team doesn't win its conference championship then it isn't eligible to play for the national championship. That would cut out a lot of the drama.

Yeah, I just hope it keeps getting worse and worse. I pray that one year like 5 major conference teams go undefeated so the BCS ends up totally fucked. I'd lol for days and days.

(Double post lol)
I like the conference champion idea, but some conferences don't have championship games (Big East, Pac 10) so something would have to change in that aspect. I'd love to see a 8 team format, but even a 4 team playoff would be a far better barometer of talent in determining a true "National Champion".

Well they are still 2 of the major conferences. So you couldn't say the Big Ten, Pac-10, SEC, and Big 12 all get an automatic bid and the other 2 major conferences don't because of a down year for both. They just need to seed them based on their rank in the polls.
I meant to say Oklahoma. Also the people who make the polls and fans are emotional when it comes to who should be where week by week. Texas barely got beat by Texas Tech at Texas Tech's home. Oklahoma had a by week to prepare for them and it showed. It was also at there home too. Texas Tech through the years have been shown not to be a good away team specially against a top notch opponent. So it didn't shock me one bit that Oklahoma spanked them. Texas is a worthy team to be ranked #2 in the nation. I actually have no problem w/ that. All I can say to Oklahoma is you shouldn't have gotten beat by Texas by 10 points on a neutral field.
Don't you see? Thats my whole point as to why the BCS is crap. It's not fair that a 3-4 loss team gets in over a 1 loss team that finishes in a 3 way tie in conference full of top 10 teams. It's dumb that automatic bids are even in... i mean HOW do you reward a program not in the top 25 a chance to play in a BCS bowl? STUPID

It is because of tradition that they would go play in the Rose Bowl or w/e. So the BCS still allows conference champions to play in their usual bowl for that conference.
I know...you're telling me things i know and everybody knows lol. All im stating is why it's crap and should change. Tradition had the same 7 teams every year because those teams for 40 years were the best in college football...but times have changed. Those same 7 teams from the 60's 70's, 80's and 90's are no longer the dominant forces they used to be because talent is spread out so much now.
Grant it.. BCS makes for awesome drama during the school year. Every games counts and makes for interesting matchups, but the fact remains, it's simply not fair.
Its time to move on. Times change, and the tradition should change. Who cares to see a damn Big 10 or Pac 10 rose bowl because it's tradition...those are terrible teams in a terrible conference (Penn State being the exception). And whats worse.. seeing an ACC or Big East team make.. how do they deserve it over Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Texas.. hmm? Utah, Boise State..? They don't because traditon says they won't get in because they didn't win there conference.....well thats bullcrap that a team is rewarded one of the best bowls and money offered to help boost the program with 3-4 losses! BAH... CHANGE!

The reason an SEC team wont win the BCS title this year, right here:
Alabama vs. Florida for the SEC championship. Ain't that fuggin' comical?
Another comical thing in play right now, only USC can get ownd by an unranked team and climb back to number 5 without playin' anyone. L O L

Well no matter what you do, shit like this won't change... Even though the people who vote in the polls they still have connections w/ certain teams. Teams like Florida, Ohio State, USC, Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, and etc will get special treatment that other schools won't get.
I enjoy the Rose Bowl and its tradition. There are still a lot of solid teams in the Big Ten other than Penn State (Ohio State and Michigan State). Pac 10 is having a down year for sure. Also let me remind you a weak ass Big East team called West Virginia bitch slapped Oklahoma in BCS Bowls last year.

I was disappointed that the game kinda sucked as I was really loking forward to watching it. However, Tech deserved their ranking at the time. This is exactly why people should not get all riled up about mid season rankings. The only one that matters is at the end of the regular season. Then bicker.
True, but there was no champioship at all before and it always came down to popular vote. At least now, only the two that play for it are popular vote
Kind of cancel yourself out there. Think about it for a second. Other than the big one, does it REALLY matter if you get into a BCS game, aside from the extra cash? If the BCS is crap (and in a lot of ways it is) then why do we as fans care so much about who gets into the secondary ones?
Umm, what? Aside from one of the two losing beforehand, the winner will be in the National Championship Game. There are still some "nitemare" scenarios though that a BCS anarchist would love. What happens if Florida loses to FSU then kills bama? OSU beats OU? Missouri wins the Big12 title game? Utah/Boise National Championship? Poor Ball State.....
I believe you're wrong. Florida beats no.1 Alabama, they vault to no.2 and make the BCS championship.

Well, none of the BCS bowls even matter anyway except the Championship, so I don't really care if my favorite schools are in "BCS" bowls or not.
Also, I can understand why the Big East gets a bid still. They were once pretty good (even WVU was ranked 2nd last year until the last week of the season), and could still potentially have some top 10 teams. The ACC on the other hand, I don't think deserves a bid but like I said, I don't care who plays in the Fiesta/Orange/whatever Bowl.
Oklahoma vs. Florida, Alabama vs. texass playoff {Can I have it?}

I'm greedy. I want an 8 teamer with USC, T-Tech, PSU, and Utah as well. Hell, that 8 team playoff would be appointment television for 3 straight weekends....
