Beyond The Broken Spectrum

I have always said that the BCS is horrible and should be done away with, and a playoff system should be instituted based on wins just like the NFL. With this new system, a new schedule format should be made to ensure balanced schedules for everyone.

The proof here, is that all season long, Kansas never made it to #1 while being undefeated, which was up until last week. Hawaii hasn’t made it past #12 while being undefeated and starting ranked at #24, but two unranked teams have risen all the way to the #2 spot. Right now if the BCS were to be the best system, Hawaii would be ranked #1 and Kansas #2, and provided that they both win this coming week, they should be playing one another for the championship. However, neither team has a chance at even getting to the championship game.

Hopefully after this season, some major revamping will be done to the system to account for the wrongs committed against these two teams. I doubt that will happen though, because when the president of the BCS was asked for his comment on the situation, all he would say is that it was all very surprising. So I guess we shouldn’t get our hopes up, he doesn’t seemed too concerned about the situation.
