It's no secret by now that the BCS is a flawed system. Its primary objective is to match the 2 best teams in the nation in the BCS National Championship Game. Admittedly, it accomplishes this goal every few years or so, but that's far from good enough. This year has arguably been the most chaotic for the BCS. For most of the season, it seemed like #1 LSU and #2 Oklahoma State were on a collision course for New Orleans. Both were undefeated and favored in the remainder of their games. However, chaos reigned 2 weeks ago as unranked Iowa State knocked off Oklahoma State in 2 overtimes. This opened the flood gates for a number of other 1 loss teams (and an undefeated Houston team) to stake their claims as deserving of a chance at LSU. As it stands, it seems that there will be an SEC West rematch between LSU and Alabama in the national championship game. Although I think LSU and Alabama are the two best teams in the country, other teams really do have an argument because LSU and Alabama have already played each other with LSU winning 9-6 in overtime. But let's be honest, no other teams have stepped up to the challenge. Is it time for a playoff system to be implemented? Is there even a way to implement a playoff system and keep the current bowl games intact? If chaos continues to reign in college football, we may find out sooner than later.
