We may find that out.

The BCS just doesn't want a SEC Championship game part II, if Bama and Florida stay one and two.  But I think RifleDudes right at least the top four should play in a playoff.

Plus, say a team like Boise State goes undefeated.  They did everything they could possibly do.  They can't help who their opponents were on their schedule, and schedules are made years in advance.  No matter... as long as high profile teams like Florida, Texas, and/or Bama remain undefeated, they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of playing for a national championship.  Now, one could argue just by watching them play that they aren't as good a team as those elite teams at the top of the polls, and perhaps this is true.  But, without the ability to play teams head to head in some type of playoff system, we will never really know. 

Quite often, a team peaks toward the end of the season, yet if that team finishes strong but has a loss or two at the beginning of the season, they are usually out of contention.  Or, if a team finishes undefeated, but doesn't blow out most of their opponents convincingly enough, this may be enough to keep their ranking lower to the point they cannot compete for the title.  Then, why should a team be downgraded in the rankings if they lose a game to a higher ranked opponent, who should beat them if the rankings are valid?  All sorts of things about the BCS system don't make sense.

The only way to know without a doubt who has the best team at the end of the season is to settle the matter on the field.  The BCS system sucks!!!

I would also love to see a playoff system implemented but I doubt we will ever see it. There is to much money in the BCS system and to much politics just like everything else standing in the way of the way things should be

I said earlier this year that Gators and Bama would (Likely) be great. I see UGA being two seasons away from returning to their position among the elite.  BCS probably will do everything they can to avoid the top two from being SEC, but I think we all know that facts will ultimately sway them.

Well said Ted. I'd also like to see some sort of playoff system.

LSU and Bama should be a good watch. Then my GATORS can spank the winner (I hope, LOL).

GO GATORS.

I know, I know....... I would say i'm sorry BUT it wouldn't be sincere!!  I haven't been a fan of any Florida team since the days of Jimmy down at Miami when he was recruiting convicts so he could beat the Sooners (since he couldn't get it done when he coached OSU)..
 
I fall asleep every night watching the replay of T-Bow getting knocked out!!  (i'm sure this will inspire CheapT to wade into this)!
 
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TEXAS (since my sooners are out)

I like the way you think.  LOL!
