[QUOTE="denverfrog, post: 747037, member: 5717"] I would argue that the BCS has had some positive effects. It has limited one conference's ability to dominate the post season. It has gotten roughly the best teams into the top tiered bowls and lessened the stranglehold of the self appointed few to some extent. Is it totally fair? no. Is it still heavily slanted financially towards the fair-haired few, yes. Does it create the best fan interest match ups- absolutely not. Does it put the best 2 teams into the championship game- absolutely not. Of course, that is mostly because you usually cannot cull 2 teams out of the herd and have those 2 teams clearly be the "best" of college football. Its nearly impossible in most years and this year is no different. I would argue that not only could TCU be a better team than both Auburn or Oregon, but, Wisconsin could be as well. I would argue that the structure of the BCS "Championship" has done nothing to increase interest in college football overall, the increased visability and the actual product has done that. In the end, tonight's game is nothing more than a beauty pagent and only significant if you believe those two teams are the best two teams in the country. I do not, so I won't be watching. [/QUOTE]
