BCS Worked for Title Game

The BCS system was set up to put the top two teams in the nation in a champiionship game.
Inn that respect, the system worked by getting Auburn and Oregon in the title game.
TCU might have some argument but the best two teams, as far as what they did during the season, is in the big game.
Where the BCS didn't work once again was setting up the other BCS games.
Connecticut does not deserve to be in a BCS game.
There are five Big 12 teams more deserving of a BCS bid than UConn.
Forget the Boise State argument that it beat Oklahoma in a Fiesta Bowl.
Boise State belonged in that Fiesta Bowl. UConn doesn't deserve to be in this Fiesta Bowl.
If this is the best the Big East can do then the BCS needs to seriously look at the future of the Big East in the BCS. Teams that lose to Temple and are unranked don't belong.
There is good news. That BCS game losing streak for OU? It should be over.

The fact that UConn is playing Oklahoma shows the futility of the disaster that is the BCS conference championship system. The only way to use the BCS is to use it to rank the top 8 teams regardless of conference, and use a 3-week playoff format with the highest BCS rated teams hosting hosting the respected games (1/8, 2/7, 3/6, 4/5), and so on.

(1)Auburn and (2)Oregon would host as long as they won, and for their first round contests would be hosting (8)Arkansas and (7)Oklahoma respectfully. The current system has no soul, only an accountant could love such a creation.
