While I think UF-OU is the right matchup for the Nat'l Champsionship game, all I want for Christmas is an 8 team playoff. 6 BCS conference winners and 2 at large bids is all we need to settle this every year. The Plus One format of a four team playoff wouldn't cut it. Would you have the top 4 teams or the top 4 conference winners? Texas could be left out, but shouldn't if you had the top 4 conference winners. However, money is involved and all conferences want a slice so the 8 team playoff is the only solution.
I'm sure you wanted to read about Germany winning the BCS so here it is, but I thought I'd throw in my final thoughts on the BC-Mess. I don't know who is the original author of this, but it seems fitting and is quite humorous.
BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II US Ranked 4th After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to work on other major contests and today the BCS declared Germany to be the winner of World War II. "Germany put together an incredible number of victories beginning with the annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland and continuing on into conference play with defeats of Poland, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium and the Netherlands. Their only losses came against the US and Russia; however considering their entire body of work--including an incredibly tough Strength of Schedule--our computers deemed them worthy of the #1 ranking." Questioned about the #4 ranking of the United States the BCS commissioner stated "The US only had two major victories-- Japan and Germany . The computer models, unlike humans, aren't influenced by head-to-head contests--they consider each contest to be only a single, equally-weighted event."
German Chancellor Adolph Hitler said "Yes, we lost to the US ; but we defeated #2 ranked France in only 6 weeks." Herr Hitler has been criticized for seeking dramatic victories to earn 'style points' to enhance Germany 's rankings. Hitler protested "Our contest with Poland was in doubt until the final day and the conditions in Norway were incredibly challenging and demanded the application of additional forces."
The French ranking has also come under scrutiny. The BCS commented "France had a single loss against Germany and following a preseason #1 ranking they only fell to #2."
Japan was ranked #3 with victories including Manchuria, Borneo and the Philippines.
