I pretty much agree with everything written in this Gregg Doyel piece regarding the B(c)S.
If there was ever a sham system in America it's this joke of a method for determining a champion. Whether it's 'tweaking' the rules to keep certain schools from not getting in (OU) or exposing an irrational national bias that keeps out another (OSU) the plain fact is this system needs to go, and go now.
I'd be happier with the old system of conference alignments and no 'true' National champion than I am with this current system. It's a mess, the polls it are tied to are stupid, and it has no basis in reality.
And while I still have LSU and Alabama as my #1 and #2 ranked teams, that doesn't mean the latter should play in the B(c)S championship game. If you can't win your conference, you can't play for the championship.
It should be about the basics after all. If you want to bring in conference also-rans then have a playoff w/wild cards. Simple right?
Nope.
