The BCS blows

What a joke the BCS has become. An eight team playoff in which the ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12 and SEC conference champions get spots and the highest rated three at large schools take the other is the only way to decide a national champion. Here are some truthful observations:
1) Alabama lost to a 15th ranked Texas A&M team and should have fallen down to 8 or 9 in the rankings not 4.
2) A Georgia team that lost 35-7 to South Carolina (that struggled with Wofford) has no business being in the national championship discussion.
3) Oregon lost in overtime to a Stanford team ranked in the top fifteen. That closeness of that loss and the caliber of the team played is better than both Alabama and Georgia's losses so Oregon should be ranked higher than both of them despite their loss.
Again, the BCS is a fraud driven by media hype but we have known that for several years.

being a conference champ should not give an automatic bid for playoff birth.
If Miami/ GT or whoever is going to face FSU in ACC championship game beat FSU, they do not deserve to be in championship playoff.
If they allot the conference champs, then it greatly diminishes the regular season.
I actually really like the BCS. It makes what is happening the last couple weeks so much fun and puts so much emphasis on the games being played right now.

Champion has to be in the top 10 or 15....
I'm not so sure though what you and your fan's obsession is with the SEC. You NEVER win it or have done anything worth a crap.

Well, if you don't do well enough in the regular season, then you don't get into the conference championship.

Only issue I have is that ANY two loss team doesn't deserve

To be in the mix in my mind. It shouldn't matter if you play in the NFL, two losses in this system should be counted as two losses.
Also, if you lose to a team with two losses or a team with FIVE losses, yeah you K State- you should be punished unlike these teams have been or will be.
I'm hoping that enough of the coaches will realize that they have the ultimate power over the BCS if they are willing to be more extreme with poll movement.
Meaning hammer teams who lose bad games. Enough with the "body of work" crap. If you tank it to a team with multiple losses like Bama did or lose to Baylor you should be HAMMERED in the human polls to offset the bias that clearly sits in the computers.

One caveat- if there is one undefeated team and everyone

Else has two losses or more then I give you that two loss teams deserve a shot. But it you were beaten TWICE?? Get out of here you got beat TWICE.
