Better seeding idea than what will be used

The BCS system should have stayed part of the seeding process along a committee.
Let the standings come out and have a committee “validate” them. If the committee decides to change the order and/or participants they should be obligated to justify why. If they don’t just kind of certify it and give it a go.
Thoughts?

Horrible idea. It would just create outcry for teams that get demoted by them.

They should have just kept the BCS standings for the top 4 teams and had no committee at all.

This will still happen to some degree, because the AP and coaches poll will still exist and the seeding may not be identical.
In my idea at least any changes may have to be justified. For instance say Auburn would have been moved below #2 because something like “the improbable nature of 2 of their wins and a double digit defeat, something no other top 4 teams had”. Not saying I agree, just giving an example of at least having the committee responsible to justify their decisions. As it is they could seed Utah State #1.

I actually don't disagree but if they wanted to incorporate one it was better to have them with some responsibility to explain their decisions.

Agreed 1000%.

I think use the BCS to find the best four teams and then let the humans seed them 1-4. I'm fine with seeding based on compelling matchups, travel, personal preference, whatever. But that way it at least takes the human element out of picking the actual teams.
(This only works if semis are played at neutral sites obviously)
