The whole point of the BCS is to match the top 2 teams in the nation.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, and they've done a pretty poor job at that the last few years, haven't they?

[/ QUOTE ]

They have, but that's not your argument.

The bowls are about making money,

[/ QUOTE ]

No sh*t. Which is why it will likely never go to a playoff system.

Meanwhile the current system is and has been proven bias and flawed because they don't put great matchups in the major bowls when they can which would also draw money.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong. The whole idea of allowing two at-large bids which the bowls themselves get to pick is to let the bowls choose the teams that will make them the most money. Let's say Oregon finishes 8th in the BCS standings and ND finishes 10th. Which game is going to make more money for the Orange Bowl - Miami/Oregon or Miami/ND? Which one will get the higher ratings? It's not even close.

[ QUOTE ]
One reason ND is so well known is because of the special compensation they receive that no other NCAA team gets.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, you've got it backwards. They are well-known because of their tradition. This tradition and fan-support is what allows them to have their own TV contract. There is no other school in the country that has such a wide-reaching fan base, or the popularity to allow them to have their own TV contract.

[ QUOTE ]
Which is a joke.

[/ QUOTE ]

It makes money for the NCAA, which is what they care about

[ QUOTE ]
Which is also a prime reason they aren't likely to join any conference.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes, ND makes more money on its own so that's why they'll stay that way.

[ QUOTE ]


It'll be nice to see them get another bowl bid they don't deserve and be handed another blowout like they got when they went against the Beavers. Essentially, wasting a BCS bowl while giving a lesser deserving team money in their school that they don't have to share with a conference.

[/ QUOTE ]

See, you're still throwing in the "deserving school" argument which you claim isn't your stance.

[ QUOTE ]

People will tire of seeing BCS bowl mismatches.

Yes, which is why the Big East needs to get better - no one wanted to see Pitt last year, or WVU or South Florida this year.
