The Bowl Championship Series is still balking at the idea of instituting a playoff system in 1-A ball. Next year's model looks to be a selection committee.

Someone needs to sue them for false advertisement. The BCS is not national, not a championship, nor is it a series. Regardless of what system they choose, the problem will not go away so long as they continue to insist on a single "championship" game that forces the selection of two teams. It's not the way they select the teams it's the fact that they are limiting it to the arbitrarily decided top two.

An analysis I heard on the radio recently summed it up the best. The BCS is basically a marketing tool. The six major conferences have pooled their resources to sell their bowl games for a lucrative TV contract. It does create some interesting bowl matchups and some good football games. But lets at least call it what it is.
