NCAA Conflict Within BCS Chapionship

Many of you may be familiar with college football. It is one of America’s favorite sports to watch. Although people love college football, not very many are fond of the playoff system. For those of you who are unaware of how the NCAA determines who plays in the National Championship, they go off of a point system and the quality of teams they play. I do not agree with how the NCAA is going about with the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) system because they are not giving all the teams a fair chance to play in the national championship. Basically, if you are in a strong conference with good teams and you win all your games, you’re almost guaranteed to make the BCS (Bowl Championship Series) National Championship. This gives a disadvantage to schools that are in weaker conferences with less competition. Although a team in the weaker conference may dominate, they still may not make the National Championship. Boise State is a team that I believe should make the big game because they have been dominating the west coast area for five years now. Every season they have been dominating teams and winning by a huge margin. There competition is not quite as tough as say Texas or Florida but they still manage to go undefeated. I believe they should switch to the playoff system because it gives everyone a fair chance to prove to the world they are the best team. Just like the NFL is, if you lose your season is over. The NCAA should go to a similar system such as the NFL.
