Deseret News: BCS has given us a bowl system full of flaws

By Doug Robinson, Deseret News

Every year the BCS — now in its 13th season of holding college football hostage — likes to defend its goofy postseason format by claiming it is the best way to preserve the bowl system.

"The fact is what we have right now works," BCS executive director Bill Hancock likes to say.

Wrong.

Have you seen this year's list of bowl games?

By law, of course, columnists are required to make fun of the bowl lineup and its flaws every December and will continue to do so until the BCS relinquishes its stranglehold on the college game or until hell freezes over, whichever comes first.

It's an easy job, but someone's got to do it. Away we go ...

Not that I would expecting anything different from the usual quality of the Deseret News, but someone should explain to this guy that the BCS has absolutely nothing to do with the bowl system in general. You can complain about their being too many bowls and how many 6-6 teams make it, but that isn't BCS-related at all and shouldn't be lumped in there with any complaints about the BCS.
