Why were they ever done away with? Why would it have been so bad if the BCS rankings filled out the playoff bracket? IT's not like the formula for determining ranks wasn't evolving.

Because they wanted a selection committee like the basketball tourney does
Also think they didn’t like the computer polls or some shite

What's your opinion on it? I don't understand how bringing a human variable, to the table, made anything better.

BCS top 4 would have been fine

A large fault was "the coach's poll" which could be seen as biased as to how teams were ranked. My objection to them was HOW was a coach supposed to research & rank everbody else AS WELL AS preparing their team that week?

Right, if the coach's poll had that level of impact, why could it not be dissolved? I doubt there would have been many people genuinely concerned with that one.

Care to elaborate? It'd be a nice read.

2003 LSU USC AP/BSC issues
2004 What to do when you have more than one team who should go
2011-see 2004 and add rematch, non conference champion
SEC dominance, dont really need to explain this

All good points. Not that it's really been THAT poor, the selection committee, how do you feel about the change? It comes down to, for me is: Why feel the need to improve what is already sufficient?

I never really minded the bcs rankings. No idea why they went to a committee and how condalisa rice fits into making these selections. I would've stuck with bcs and made it a 4 team deal. I'd also prefer to leave it at 4 and definitely never go over 8

The problem with the BCS Rankings is a coach in the hunt for the playoffs could potentially rank a team ahead of them as unranked and skew the entire thing. There was still too much human element to it. It's still better than the playoff committee though.

I was unaware of how impactful the coaches say, in this regard, truly was. I know now, and with that I say; why not remove that one aspect from the equation?

I agree. They were a fair ranking system.

Because ESPN wants to pick the teams, and the Committee is there to make sure that a Baylor or a TCU do not get in over a program like Ohio State or Alabama.

I preferred the BCS and how it used to be
I liked just everyone fighting for the final 2 spots
Not 4
And down the road it will get bigger and I’m dreading that
