No lawsuit. We only need Utah and Boise State to thump Oregon this year. The
whole Mountain West and Boise State need to show well against the BCS. I'll
be in Eugene wearing crimson. A Utah man am I.

The udefeated issue needs to be the only issue the BCS needs to address and they
can easily do that by forcing a playoff in either a 1 or a 2 game format
depending on how many undefeateds there are to place in a pre BCS final
selection playoff. The winner or winners would either play one more game
against each other or would automatically get either the no. 1 or the no.2 slot
in the BCS. It can be accomplished without realigning the current BCS bowl
venues... or...it can be accomplished by adding one more bowl venue to
facilitate the playoffs....which is what I suggest...and I think the Cottonbowl
would traditionally be the best choice to add to the BCS Bowl alignment.
Regardless of wheter or not a team is BCS or Non BCS it will address the
undefeated problem that is a canker to the present BCS selection format. There
should only be one possible undefeated team and no matter who that is they are
the National Champions if they can remain undefeated.

Has and always will be a joke! I just hope as the years progress, that the MWC
just goes out there and clobbers teams from the ACC, Big 12, Pac 10 etc
Had the WAC never allowed the merge of 14 teams at one time, I can only say the WAC now the MWC would be a power house.

One more point of clarification. If there is only one undefeated team left at
the end of the regular season regardless of whether they are BCS or non BCS and
no matter where they are in the BCS rankings at the end of regular season play
then they get a shot at the then current BCS number 2 in a playoff game. If
still undefeated after the playoff they automatically play for the National
Championship. You really only need to add one or two games to the current BCS
system to make it fair. Figuring out the other top 25 standings when it's
all said and done doesn't really matter... but there is no excuse to have
an undefeated team that is not the National Champion.

Bias Media will soon see the down fall of viewers. Attendance at smaller bowls
will soon go smaller and same on tv. I lost interest watching any other big
bowls games or so call bcs games (except UTAH). And yes more bcs fans will do
the same. Only those fans will follow their own favorite school playing their
bowl game. College football will fall. I love my BYU team year after year win or
lose! It is like this - utah got rob and Florida and U. Meyer is a thief! Or how
about this - do I care that LA FLAKERS winning the nba title? No, Kobe is a
raper and D. Fisher is a trater. Rich people getting richer and will be more

The issue can no longer be left in the hands of the BCS....The NCAA needs to
take the beast by the horns and show some leadership here... and if need be...
THEY... (and not their members attempting to go it alone) should be ones in the
courts getting this anti trust mess that they allowed to happen...cleaned up. A
simplified 1 or 2 game playoff would be a great start to fixing this hugely
oversized bias of favoritism that plagues college football today.

Other than USC, what did the PAC 10 do to earn access? Nothing. This requires
a legislative solution. I still think this is an antitrust issue. The NCUA
can't do anything because the BCS resulted from a lawsuit on similar
grounds by the BCS crowd, complaining of stuff they are now guilty of.
It's a mess.

Unfortunately the greed of the BCS teams is going to result in government

intervention. Will people ever learn?

re: anonymous @ 7:49 | 9:02 a.m. June 26, 2009
You shouldn't rip so much on the PAC 10, rather, the ripping should be on
the Big (L)East, and the ACC. They have proven nothing from the beginning of
the BCS. They have only been in there by association, that is basketball
association. They have never been consistent in football strength, so why is it
that hardly nobody complains about their involvement year in and year out in the
BCS closed club. That is where the focus should be, eliminate the Big (L)east
and the ACC form the BSC - they are useless in football!!
Anonymous | 9:48 a.m. June 26, 2009
You should rip on any conference that has an automatic bid. I don't care
what happened in the past, all teams should earn there spots in the post season
and the only fair way is through a playoff.

BCS is Good | 11:42 a.m. June 26, 2009
First off, things can be improved, but the BCS is there to allow those teams who
have great fan bases to capitalize on that interest. Granted each conference has
a team or two that resemble non-bcs teams in attendance (i.e. Washington State
avg 2009 attendance=30k, boise st avg attendance=30k)
A poster said earlier the Pac-10 doesnt deserve to be in the BCS. The Pac-10 has had 6 teams in BCS bowls (4 have wins): Washington, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, USC.

"Utah, in my mind, was the best team in the country last year,"
Fairchild said. "What they did to Alabama right after Florida struggled
with them says it all. And I'm not sure if you play our league over again
last year if TCU doesn't win our league. So we've got some extremely
talented football teams. It almost seems like a lawsuit in terms of trying to
hold revenue back from certain conferences."
Great Quote !
What's holding The MWC back from a class action suit for due process and revenue sharing ?
Is there a reader here that knows the law and could look into it ?
Again this seems to me like a case that Gerry Spence from Wyoming would love to take to court, all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary.
Perhaps our state Governors could clan up and do the same.

Ignorant Non-BCS fans | 11:52 a.m. June 26, 2009
The difference between BCS and non-bcs conference revenue distribution is
smaller than you think. Being in the BCS doesn't mean a school will get
tons of millions more than non-bcs schools from their respective conference. The
BCS stands as a collection of schools who have the more resources (bigger
stadiums, bigger fanbases, and more donor contributions)than non-bcs schools.
Before the bcs was created, there was clear difference in the wealth of football
programs across the country. Now that those programs are defined in the
"BCS" people think its the BCS that created that wealth. Fact is,
Alabama will always have 93,000+ at their home games, while utah will always
have 45,000+.
If a non-bcs team is deemed good enough at the beginning of the year and went undeafeated, they would play for a national title. utah wasn't even in the top 25 to begin the year. If they were ranked early they would have made it.

That was rather interesting...I especially loved your ignorance of the facts. in almost all pertinent cases of the money issue. Just because Alabama has a stadium that will always hold 93,000 plus fans and Utah for now only has a Stadium that hold's 45,000 has very little to do with the creation of the BCS.
Just because BCS Schools have more donor contributions has little to do with the creation of the BCS.
I will concede the bigger fan bases may have somewhat of an effect of actual attendence during BCS games but it had nothing to do with the creation of the BCS First and foremost the brainchild of the BCS was /is and always will be associated with Ohio State University and the big Ten conference. The 1983 Holiday Bowl is the only Bowl in the history of NCAA football that produced a National Champion that wasn't from The Present 4 BCS Bowls. The Big Ten and Bowl coalition are the basis of the BCS. The Pac 10 came in on the skirt of the Rose Bowl. TV Revenue is the THE PRIMAY REASON FOR THE CREATION

And the revenue difference is...small?
Did you type that with a straight face?

Actually BYU was deemed good enough at the beginning of the year, and they quickly shot up into the top 10, but then they sat there for 3 weeks (before they lost to TCU) while teams jumped over them. The same thing happened to Utah over the last 2 weeks of the season. Also, the Coaches and Harris polls only had Utah 7th in their final polls and the Coaches was after the sugar bowl. So no, all the evidence shows that Utah got as high as they were ever going to get, no matter where they started the season ranked.

They could invite the BCS schools (who will undoubtably turn them down). They
play the games, crown a winner, yes a NATIONAL CHAMPION. If the non-BCS schools
stopped going to the non-BCS bowls there would be a lot of angry sponsors who
could press to make changes. Oh wait, what am I thinking, even the non-BCS
schools like their non-BCS bowl games and miniscule payouts.

"...if it wasn't for a bogus call at the end of the game Utah would

No bogus call. The reply showed P.I. The color commentators noted that it was the correct call. OSU Coach Mike Riley neither contested the call, nor suggested it was questionable following the game. Utah won the game because they were the better team.
"You barely beat a very bad Michigan team..."
A win is a win. Michigan scored all their points on short fields due to turnovers. Those errors were subsequently corrected. A narrow victory over Michigan, AT THE BIG HOUSE, does not diminish BLOW OUT victories over Alabama and BYU. Neither does it detract from the fact the Utes had 2 victories over Top-10 teams, and an additional 2 more over other teams ranked in the Top-25.
"Your [sic] trying to tell me Utah would have gone undefeated with the likes of Ohio State, Florida, USC,Georgia,Penn State..."
NOBODY played a schedule facing all those teams. If you want to dispute the Utes claim to #1, then THAT RIGHT THERE is justification for a playoff. Because otherwise, you'll have NO EVIDENCE to the contrary.
