Orange-ACC (Va Tech vs. Hawaii)
Cotton-Big 12 (Oklahoma vs. Florida)
Fiesta-Big East (West Va vs. Missouri)

Good games but if USC wins by 14, LSU wins by 1, Hawaii wins by 10, Oklahoma wins by 28, and WV wins by 6 in 5 ot's, who is number 1?

But what does a 8 or 16 team playoff have to do with those bowls? Why would they not exist. The bowls are seperate from the NCAA. If they will make money and ESPN or somebody else will cover the game they will exist.

Ok even better, FL wins by 40. Can a 3 loss team be voted number 1?

ESPN will leak the results by 5pm EST. Kirk Herbstreet will report Va Tech and Georgia in the title game. Then the NCAA will refute the report.

We'd be left with a debate.....kinda like how we are going to be left with one anyway. The old system was fine. Several teams would walk away from the season feeling like they were the best team and then every once in a while, u'd get a 1 vs 2 matchup in the bowl. Obviously, a playoff would be the best way to determine the champion but in lieu of that, go back to the old way. The BCS supporters will argue that their system has provided exactly what it was intended to provide, a guaranteed 1 vs 2 matchup every year. What they should have guaranteed instead is total chaos in determining just who those two teams should be.

Everybody seems willing to have a 2 loss national champion.How is it all that different? Both losers elevated over non-losers.You can make fun of Hawaii all you want,but they are undefeated because they execute in the clutch.They are small but quick.They give up bad plays,but they play tough to make up for it.Fact is they didn't let the other team score in the 2nd half last night.Washington appeared to be running the ball easily on them,but didn't happen when it came time to keep them out of the end zone.Yeah,Pgrdn,they gave up a bad play late,but fact is they then made a play to win the game.At some point you have to reward teams that execute in the clutch over ones that simply don't. I don't think Hawaii versus Ohio State would be a laugher.I think it would be like Boise State versus Oklahoma.Everybody laughs,but they execute plays very well(just like Boise did.)You call me nuts,but I say you all are nuts for wanting a national champion with 2 losses.

there is still a possibility of a BCS bowl/ Rose Bowl appearance

[Danzig]

someone has to be champ. what, no champ because everyone lost too much? and then people complain because these schools schedule some games vs weak opponents...because everyone thinks a perfect season ='s a top team. do you want tough play most week, or everyone playing it safe? i'd rather a team who plays hard than a team who plays no one, and then trumpets their 0 loss record.

This just in...Kirk Herstreet reports that the Capital One Bowl is now part of the BCS and the underdog gets the Lou Holtz pre game speech.

If there ever a year where no one really deserves the award it would be this one.
