This sore subject comes up every year because every year there is one team that gets completly disadvantaged by the BCS. Besides the fact that you need a fancy math degree to figure out the formula of the BCS rankings, BCS is completely subjective. Every year the SEC and Big 12 conferences are considered much more difficult than most of the other conferences, particularly the Big East and Pac-10. Of course, this is completely illogical because when you play conference rivals (regardless on what conference you play in), you are going to play each other like it might be your last.
Well, this year BCS picture has been a mess with several top teams losing one or two games. So, who is the best and who determines who should play for the big one?

Dan Wetzel's plan is a winner for starters. This gives everyone an equal chance at the big game, even teams like Hawaii who this year although they are undefeated is barely given a chance . How do we know that Hawaii is not this year's best college football team? Everyone notes that it is only a matter of time that the NCAA will incorporate this system...really what is the hold up? Money? The amount of money that this one or two games would bring in (because of course they would nationally televised on you could only watch that one playoff game) would more than make up what the sponsors of the Chik-fil-a Bowl would be missing.
