I think the BCS was created to lead to the eventual playoff. Oklahoma is a great team and definitely should be in the BCS mix, but they hopped over Oregon, which will get real college fans debating like mad. Screw TCU and Boise St. Beating on Wyoming or Idaho 56-0 doesn't tell me shit, but you will get those folks bitching also. Thing is there is just too much $$ in the bowl system to really institute one. I remember when there was just 6 bowls: Cotton, Sugar, Gator, Rose, Orange, and Tangerine. Liberty and Fiesta came later, along with the California and Holiday. Tangerine turned into the Citrus Bowl if I am not mistaken. To me about a dozen bowls is palatable, since the top 25 would be let in. Now they are talking about having a 5-7 team get in. Just stupid, but the suckers will watch.
