The main problem with the BCS is they need to realize that it is impossible to make sure the "best" team is included when only 2 teams get to play for the title. Since most teams under consideration don't play each other, and don't play the same competition, the best solution is probably to take the most deserving teams. Personally I think the current system does this pretty well.
If the formula is tweaked, they should
1. Force all of the computer polls to use the BCS SOS calculation. Currently teams are often penalized for their SOS in some of the computer polls and again in the master BCS calculation.
2. Add a 1 or 2 more computer polls and throw out the top rating in addition to the low poll.
I'm not a fan of using MOV. I understand the thinking, but you are changing the goal of the game. The object is to win the game, not to win it by X points or more.
I think any changes they implement will make it tougher for OSU to get to the title game. Our biggest strengths are usually SOS, and computer polls. Removing or de-emphasizing these will benefit teams from weaker conferences and teams with more emphasis on offense.
