Its all about money though. That's the sad thing about the NCAA. Too much money being tossed around w/ the 30 some bowl games. I think it will be a while before we see any major changes.

Someday there will be undefeated teams from about four major conferences that will create havoc on the system. Imagine USC, Nebraska, Auburn and Ohio St unbeaten at the end of a season. Do we need a playoff to determine the best team? Or let voters pick on their biased opinions? I know the chances of 4 conference champs being unbeaten in a season are slim. But it is possible it could happen. Two of these powerhouses would get the shaft in this current system. I'd rather something be in place or in the works in the event this happened.
Most of the major media outlets, sports writers ect that vote come from the New York, Chicago and Los Angeles areas. Well we know who they will vote for. USC and Ohio St.
The coaches poll is a joke. How many times do any of our coaches get to watch out of conference games in time to place their votes by the next morning? Think about it. Are there votes fair and well informed votes? I don't think so. And a lot of coaches will allow someone else to fill out their ballots for them because they are busy breaking down film of the game they just played.
I know a lot of what I have said is far fetched. But it's possible it could happen. I just want the system to be fair across the board. There are more 2 loss teams that are better than Notre Dame that are not in the BCS. Is it fair Notre Dame is selected out of everyone to have an almost automatic BCS bid before the season even starts? In this case its about money. Notre Dame draws money. But are they deserving? See my point? Is it money or is it going to be fair?
In closing, these are just my thoughts and concerns and actually I am not bitter at the system. I just hope the BCS people are thinking ahead of what might happen and stay a step ahead.
