The only major sport that guesses who their champion is.
The poll system is horrible. Especially removing the AP has made it worse. At least the AP has less motive for hidden agenda.
USC suffers from playing in a weak conference. Playing these teams is mandatory. Conference rules and scheduling is not equal across all conferences.
Alabama is somehow punished for not going undefeated!? Why are they held to such a lofty standard?
Any of the 1-loss Big12 South teams could win 1 game for the national championship. For that matter, any team in the top 10 could do so.
At what point do teams like Boise St and Utah ever deserve at shot at the championship? BYU once won a national title. Sadly, no other non-BCS6 conference team will ever get a chance under this format. Notre Dame plays a similar schedule to that played by Boise St and Utah. However, if they were undefeated at this point they'd be ranked #1.
