Just look at some of these BCS bowls this year?
Outside of the Rose and Fiesta bowls which are interesting matchups the others are fairly embarrassing. #13 Michigan versus #11 Va Tech? #23 WV versus #15 Clemson?
40% of BCS bowls dont even have a top 10 team.

think about this 1st round-Hell you could reward the higher seeds by making these home games
LSU vs Va Tech
Alabama vs TCU
Ok State vs Baylor
Stanford vs Clemson
Oregon vs Michigan
Arkansas vs Michigan State
Boise st vs Kansas state
Wisconsin vs South Carolina

Assume that the higher seeds win all the games
2nd round
LSU vs Wisconsin (Outback)
Alabama vs Boise State (Orange)
Ok State vs Arkansas (Cotton)
Stanford vs Oregon (Rose)

LSU vs Stanford (Fiesta)
Alabama vs ok State (Sugar)

LSU vs Alabama


You dont think that series of games to get to LSU/Alabama wouldnt be 50 times more lucratitive? Oh yeah but they would have to share the money, unlike the way the system is set up now...

as i've said in the past, if the money was there, they wouldn't hesitate to look at a change or make a change. what compelling reason is there to change? because some people want it? others don't, or don't care.


i'm in the don't care how it's settled camp. it's just football. i watch it for entertainment. i don't lose sleep over how the 'champ' is crowned. it's not something i have any control over, so i don't worry about it. if they change the system, ok. if they don't, ok.

The money is there, but it won't go to the same people that are getting it now. That is why there is so much resistance. The schools don't make nearly as much as they should. In a way it reminds me of horse racing.
