BCS stands for Bowl Championship Series. It is a complicated formula deciding the champion of NCAA FBS football. The BCS gives automatic bids to these conferences: Pac 10, ACC, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, and the SEC. The conferences that don't get a automatic bid are: Conference USA, Mid American Conference, MWC, Sun Belt, and WAC. The confrences that don't get a automatic bid are often called non-BCS conferences. The non-BCS conferences are dominated almost every year by Tulsa (Conference USA), TCU (MWC), BYU (MWC), Utah (MWC), and Boise State (WAC). Every year these teams do good. They do as good or better as the top BCS team. They never get to show it. Utah did it this year, but TCU and Boise State deserved to make it to a BCS bowl too. Why can't we have a play off system? Take the top 16 teams and have them earn a championship. Why not? Because the BCS says so, that's why. Come on give the little guys a chance. BCS in my book means beyond common sense.
Thanks for explaining the BCS to me. It sparked a conversation between me and my roommate about the BCS and she was able to explain to me why she hated it as well. I would have never known about the unjustness of the BCS if you hadn't explained it. Thanks
