13. That was an incredibly flawed way of determining the National Championship
Edited on Mon Nov-02-09 09:39 PM by JonLP24
BCS may have it's problems and it's way better than the old system. In 1996 you had an undefeated #1 Florida State team playing a #3 Florida in the Sugar Bowl who the Seminoles already beat. Than you had an undefeated #2 Arizona State team playing a #4 Ohio State team in the Rose Bowl due to obligations with the Big Ten/Pac 10. 2 years later you had an undefeated Nebraska team play someone somewhere but you had an undefeated Michigan team locked into the Rose Bowl. Way too much controversy and teams getting National Championships on just by voting alone. The BCS was needed to pit the #1 vs #2 team. They've had a National Champion decided on for decades but the BCS at least improved on the old way which sucked terribly.
