Well that’s dumb then. Our gripe wasn’t with the BCS as much as it was and still is ESPN.

Well if they had done the right thing and put in Oklahoma State we wouldn’t have this problem.
They lost to 6-6 Iowa fricking State. BAMA's only loss was to #1 LSU. Grow up.

Anyways, like a moth to fricking flame
I'm pretty neutral in this, but...you started the thread. Did you not want people to respond? Or just not LSU fans? I'm confused.

You have this because they know the G schools will sue them if they’re excluded…..and win
They would not win, if they said "The top 12 ranked teams make it into the playoffs. Nobody is promised to make the playoffs. NOBODY. Not G5 teams, not ND, not conference champions....only the top 12 ranked teams."
Or, they could create a playoff system for G5 teams and cut them into their own division like Div. II and Div. III.
I suspect you will eventually see them cut them into their own division and give them their own playoff. If that isn't good enough, they can join a P4 conference and in the playoffs that way.
The problems come in when you promise prima donnas like ND they can be in the playoffs, or conference champions, or make it where you go by any criteria except a straight ranking.
Instead of doing this, they will start promising the B1G they can have 3 teams and the SEC can have 3 teams, oh, and ND you can be in every year and G5 can have etc. etc. etc. Then in order to keep all those promises they will expand to 16 then 32 teams and we will have more really, really bad football games.

Now is vastly superior to the crap before. Every team that has a actual chance to win the natty is included.
Be honest. name every team you think has a legitimate chance to win the title.
I'll bet I can name 6 or fewer teams each and every year and the National Champions will come from those teams 99.9% of the time.
We can start this year, if you would like. You name every team you think has a chance and I can name 6 that I think will win it. (I would not have picked either of three of the four eliminated teams already, so it is still fair. I can only assume by your post you thought Tulane and James Madison had a shot? I would have given Texas A&M a shot, but not Miami)
