BCS to Play-Off: Which Would Be Better?

The BCS stands for the Bowl Championship Series.  The BCS was started in 1998 to help determine the National Champion for college football.  The BCS has 5 bowl games in it: the Fiesta Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the National Championship Game.  If you want to see who I predicted to be in those bowl games this season check out this link BCS Bowl Projections 2009: Who’s Going Where?.  The BCS has set up their own power rankings which is basically full of teams from BCS conferences.  The BCS Conferences champions get an automatic bid to the BCS Bowl Games, which makes non-BCS teams almost nonexistent in BCS Bowls.  The BCS Conferences are the ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10, and the SEC.  The Champion of those conferences are automatically in a BCS Bowl, and those teams can have 3 or 4 loses. Non-BCS teams have to go undefeated to make a BCS Bowl and only one non-BCS team makes it to a BCS Bowl Game, like Utah this season. 

The BCS is a corrupted program that is not fair.  Their goal was to help determine a National Champion.  False, they do not help find a National Champion.  That is why college football needs to stop the BCS and make a play-off system!  That will determine a true National Champion. 

The play-off system should invite 16 teams.  The champion of every conference (there are 12 conferences), and have 4 at large teams.  This way every team in the nation has a chance of being the National Champion.  College Basketball has the perfect system to find a National Champion.  Why can’t college football use a smaller version of that system?  Look at College Football division 1-aa.  They have a play-off system and it is a blast to watch, and it works beautifully.   Even President Obama voiced his opinion on having a play-off system!

The BCS is a corrupted system which has a goal of making millions of dollars.  Let’s make a true National Champion.  Why can’t college football have their own March Madness?  Why can’t it change?  Everyone from the white house to ESPN wants a play-off system.  So lets make it happen.  Let’s have a play-off system for college football!
