[QUOTE="FrogJAM, post: 726747, member: 6438"] the main problem I still will have is that the BCS rankings are still a joke. in the paraphrased words of Bill James, they are a half-assed attempt at statistical analysis. I like his idea of the Final Four, and his analysis (though it erks me) is truthful in the sense of HOW to get things done. I still don't like WHY we're having to do it that way. But fix the Rankings. Because you're still getting a lot of issues with how a 2nd place Pac-10 team that is probably overrated (opinion alert, I know) is in over a Big 10 champion. You're also going to have to do something with conference championship games. That's an extra game and an extra chance to move up in the polls. Everyone needs to have one. Or they don't. Though it seems everyone is moving that way (except for the Big Whorns conference). I think, at the very least, this system would sufice. [/QUOTE]
