BCS is ruining the College Football Regular Season

I keep hearing the argument that the BCS system makes for the most exciting regular season in sports. How is that? More and more schools are scheduling home games against 1aa and Div. 2 schools instead of playing teams that would actually be competitive and exciting to watch for us the fans.

If you had a playoff system in place that looked at strength of schedule as a major component to qualifying and you made the pool of teams large enough that a team with three losses and a hard schedule could get in you would get a lot of really good OOC games in the future. Coaches would want games like USC/FLA or LSU/TEX to make their schedule stronger and to give their players more big game experience for the playoffs. If they lost one game to another strong team they still would have a great chance to make the playoffs and settling the championship on the field.

The way College football is going you are going to see more and more teams scheduling home games against cupcakes OOC and just focusing on their regular season conference games.
