BCS..Can it be fixed?

Talking about the BCS is like watching the movie Groundhog Day.  Every year everyone argues about the same thing over and over.  So lets only hope that maybe this year the  BCS committee gets it right and fixes the BCS rules.  Lets first take a look at how Virginia Tech even got into the Sugar Bowl.  Really, come on, they got absolutely destroyed in their conference championship game (for the second time by Clemson) and the voters still put them in.  Okay I know what some of you are thinking is that well the SEC already had two teams so who else could they select.  Let me introduce you to Kansas State.  The Big XII had the 2nd toughest conference of the year and they only get one school in.  Someone tell me how the ACC got two schools in when most of the year you could argue that some of the mid major conferences were just as tough.  We need to get away from this money scandal that favors the big boys.  The NCAA is just as corrupt as the players taking money or whatever from a booster.

Next lets talk about Alabama.  I know that there is a great argument that Bama and LSU are the two best teams but if you dont win your division or conference how do you play for the title.  I would be willing to bet if you switch the roles where OSU was ranked 2nd and Bama was ranked 3rd and Bama beats the brakes off Oklahoma on national tv that Bama jumps to number 2.  Its all about the SEC and the BCS favors teams from there every year. If I am so wrong then someone tell me why LSU backed in 2006 when Michigan and Ohio State had the same argument. 

Here are some ideas on how to fix it.

1.  Create 8 team playoff.  The NCAA still can have the bowls and call them the same.  Just now the bowls will be played earlier instead of all on the same day where it is hard to watch anyway.

2.  Eliminate the automatic qualifier

3.  Allow more than two teams from the same conference in the BCS.  The whole point is to see the best teams play and not a team who got smacked in their own conference championship by a team that wasn't even gonna get a bid to the BCS.

4.  Add a plus one game.

5.  Your ideas?

Only time will tell, but lets hope that the meetings that are going to take place in the next few days will give us some better answers.
