There will be controversy and some folks will be mad regardless of how the teams are selected for the BCS four-team playoffs.
More decisions about the future of the BCS system will be made this week.
The BCS commissioners have already done the really hard part. They agreed to a four-team playoff.
We’ve waited for decades for some type of college football playoff.
It isn’t perfect. We’re sure there will be deserving teams sometimes left out of the four-team playoff.
But, in the end, it is better than the current two-team playoff, which is better than the previous no-team playoff (prior to 1998).
So, the big debate remaining is how to select the teams.
Some are saying a committee should be formed.
Perhaps. But, the current BCS formula has done a decent job of determining the top two teams.
We don’t always agree with the BCS formula results but usually it is pretty close to right.
We wouldn’t mind seeing the current BCS formula adopted.
The committee idea, and especially who is on the committee, might be shaky.
Either way, having four teams in the final chase for the national football title is better than just two.
And, yes, the regular season still matters and the bowls will continue.
College football is finally going in the right direction.
