BCS is not much better than the old system. It eliminates situations like 1994 but little else. We need a playoff system. 16 teams. Can be easily done but bowls are stuffing too many dollars in college pockets to let it happen. So as far as the eye can see Fla St will always be a contender because they play a 2 game schedule.

I am with Mythman. BCS is not perfect but it is better than the old system. Under this system GA Tech would never have been #1 early in the 90s.

Notice how Nebraska, Tenn., Florida have all battled back in the rankings, and it was not by beating top tier teams!! Tennessee lost the 2nd game, and have played Georgia and Alabama, no slouches. Memphis, Auburn, Notre Dame...SC. The loss being early in the season was a help, and it was to a top 5 team. Florida got beat by Alabama. Top 15 team. Of course, some don't consider SEC teams "top tier". Go figure. Upset over a game is understandable, but downgrading other teams will not make it any less upsetting. IMHO Had PSU stayed at #1, and 3 other teams stayed undefeated...the BCS poll would be genius for picking the "obviously superlative team". Right?
