I'm so glad we are doing away with this system. The new one will have flaws, but damn.

In the end, the top of the rankings were very close to being correct.

In fact, the BCS Top 4 (heading into the bowls), if you go back every year, is probably 95% accurate.

I hate giving the final nod to a committee. It reeks.

I thought the same exact thing. Thank goodness we are going to a 4-team playoff. I never realized how f-ed up a system this was with the BCS, mostly because I just had to accept it as the way of life.

FSU with a near monopoly of first-place votes while UGA has one?

Not saying UGA deserves to be #1, but with the old system, we would have to sit there with our fingers crossed and hope that FSU, Oregon, OU, MSU, etc. lose a game, because as long as they keep winning, no matter how unimpressively, they'll stay ranked ahead of everyone else.

Thank you football gods for the playoffs.

When I see preseason and early polls it reminds me it's still flawed.

I still wish it was 4 conferences (SEC, Big 10, Pac 12, Big 12), conference winner goes to playoff whether they're 12-0 or 9-3. You go. Period.

Then schedule whoever you want on your bye weeks, want to play the best out of conference team there is to make you better, have at it.

I agree with you. Everybody knows the coaches DO NOT fill these out much less have time to evaluate every other school instead of preparing their own team.
