This is what I've been saying all along: "Forget trying to manufacture a title game. Send the teams to their traditional bowls and let the voters sort it out. (Sorry, coaches, but in this bowl system your final Top 25 ballots will be public.) If a consortium of computer rankings wants to award its own title, that's fine -- just leave them out of the king-making process."

The BCS system is awful. It makes every other bowl game less than it deserves. It tries to crown one Champion - instead of letting there be 20+ Champions. It should be good enough to claim a Rose Bowl victory. Or a Sugar, Peach or Orange! But to diminish these victories in pursuit of a consensus national champion does a disservice to the student athlete, and to college football.
