All Those Formulas and the BCS Still Doesn't Add Up

ABC TV: "Wisconsin is the only one loss team in a BCS conference not playing in a BCS bowl."

Why? Because there is a rule that you can only have two teams from a conference in the BCS bowls.

Dumbest. Rule. Ever.

The best teams should play in the BCS, otherwise it isn't a useful measuring stick. But, hey, who is to say that having a bowl game at least a month after the end of the regular season is a meaningful way of determining anything either?

Until there is a true playoff system in college football to sort out who is and who is not overrated, college football -- BCS or no BCS -- will continue to end the year with more questions than answers.
