This is not a referendum on the BCS, everyone knows it sucks. In March Madness, a team must win 6 single-elimination rounds to be crowned champion. The chances of the best team being upset are pretty high.
But, are the odds of the best basketball team being upset higher than the best football team not even making the Championship game because only 2 teams have a shot at the championship?|||At least march madness gives em a chance to play in championship game. The BCS is a joke! I'm from australia and when i found out about how the system works it still didn't make sense.|||The BCS is ridiculous! The undefeated teams after the season is over should play for the COLLEGE CHAMPS regardless of conference...if Hawaii and Kansas remain unbeaten, they deserve to play for the national champs! You lose, you out brada!

|||football seems to be leaning the ways of 'any given saturday'. for the longest, the bigger programs just had to show up. the lack of parity made a playoff system unnecessary... really, who wanted to watch OU beat a (nother) team 77-0 in the first round of a playoff system? now, we have the old guard to contend with... the old guard being those that are enamoured with the bowl system. they like that pomp and circumstance and see a whole lot of work that would need to be done to keep that pomp but yield to the playoff system. first question, where would you draw the line? if LS-who is in the mix, doesn't kentucky feel left out of an 8 team playoff knowing that they can (and did) beat that team?
as to the 'best team' concept winning out in march madness... look at duke beating UNLV, nc state beating houston as two cornerstone "best team over 6 games" scenario
