Orrin Hatch has he claws into the fraudulent BCS system. This is probably the only time Sen. Hatch and Obama will agree on anything. I agree with both of them. Blow this sucker up now.
I'm not delusional. I clearly understand that the Big Six want all the cash. Unfortunately, they lack the brains. Marketing gentlemen, marketing. Why on earth would a playoff be less valuable than the current BCS Bowl system? Take the top eight, give the top three a home game for the quarters, the 4/5 seeds play their game at one of the current BCS sites, the semi's are played at two of the other sites, the championship is played at the last site. Rotate yearly. Not so hard.
How would this impact the other bowls that few people watch anyway? I predict it won't impact these bowls at all. Schools that make the games will be happy, the fans will still travel and the advertisers will still want to promote their product.
Does this system have flaws? Sure. I'm sure #9 will feel punished in some way, but can you seriously argue you deserve a shot if you've lost at least one game, possibly two? Not really. At least the system is more legitimate in crowing a champion.
