The BCS is definitely imperfect. Ideally, a bracket system as large as college
basketball would be great. However, that is not going to happen. Why is that?
Politics, Tradition, and Medical. Politics are there just like our own
government. Tradition has never allowed a true playoff system. Medical - You
have to remember these are 18-22 year-old kids. They are not professionals by
any means. Football is in general a huge contact and physical sport. It takes
temporary or permanent tolls on all of those kids so we can sit back and cheer,
get pissed off, or drink another beer. If we cut game times in half like that of
college basketball (30-40 minutes of play), then we could put forth a true
bracket system and play it on the field without putting as much physical stress
on these kids. That way there will be less injuries so when the time comes for
them to go to the NFL, they are healthier in a way. (Are they more prepared?
NO!) Is this thinking against tradition and politics? YES! Will this happen? NO!
Is this crazy talk? YES! But, like the? BCS, it does offer a different means of
thinking. Just remember these are kids....they are out there wanting to have fun
without permanently hurting their health.

the bcs system is a load of crap. college football would make way more money if
they had a playoff system and still keep the tradition and dignity of the bowl
system. they should put the winners of the conferences and a couple of at large
teams based on the bcs standings) in a playoff system. the rest of te teams
would stay in the bowl system so tecnically they would still be in the " bowl
season". then then they could decide the championship on the field.
