The head of the Bowl Championship Series has said an NCAA basketball tournament-style committee might become part of the selection process next season to reduce the possibility of a split national championship in football. The BCS was recently criticized when USC was bypassed for the Sugar Bowl despite its No. 1 ranking by media and coaches. What should the BCS do to remedy its problem? Is there a technical solution or should computers cease to be a part of the ranking process? Post your thoughts!

If you're going to have a national champion, they need to have actually won that title. The current system doesn't allow somebody to actually win the title--it's all about votes and computer rankings and other useless stuff.

There needs to be an actual playoff or else we shouldn't bother with this whole national champion stuff. Do it right, the way college basketball does it, or don't bother.

I visit this site to read about development issues not football. I guess I'll head to DevX for real content.
