BCS vs. Playoffs
College football should convert to a playoff system because it would give each team more opportunity to prove themselves, it would provide a limited amount of power between the media polls and the commissioners of the conferences, and it would evenly distribute the mass amount of revenue to all of the schools. In 1995, the six most powerful conferences created a system involving college football teams who hold the highest seeds, dueling it out at one of the several bowl games. Critics argue that a playoff system would be much more efficient, in proving that the best team each year is crowned national champion. The BCS system allows media polls the power to decide which team deserves the highest rank, even after they have been proven to be extremely unreliable, and in many occurrences, faulty. This is an ongoing debate that sweeps the nation, yet shows no potential for improvement.
