There is no easy solution. Neither work. Personally, I think there are several steps that ruin tradition but get us closer to a reasonable solution.

1. Rework the conferences so that teams with nothing to offer (the Baylors of the NCAA world) are dropped and the up-and-coming mid majors play with the big dogs. This would include all major "BCS" (or whatever we'll call this solution) contenders play in a conference of at least 12 teams with a conference championship.

2. Regional committees of "experts" will rank these teams and their rankings will constitute as half of the total rank--leaving the biased coaching poll and the unrealistic media poll problems only a quarter of the weight.

3. Either rid the NCAA of computer rankings or perfect them. College football is about matchups. I believe there is a more accurate way to do computer rankings but can't figure it out. Until someone can, computers can't predict the outcome of matchups.

There are a lot of things that can be implemented and the new athletic graduation scholarship rules are certainly a step in the right direction. I think the majority feel the current way doesn't work, but we felt that about the previous way. So its back to the drawing board.

I think a playoff argument that it leaves 9-12 out is ridiculous. But I think a playoff ruins tradition just as much as a conference championship in the Big 10 would. So it will eventually come to a true lesser of evils decision for AD's, conference officials, and the NCAA. Lets just hope they don't sell us out.

Paintchips? Lets just go with this for a moment. Lets assume there is some organization... call it a party... whcih there isn't, but if there was, suppose they hijacked stupid threads. Even though there's not such a thing, if there was, one wonder what they'd do other than fight crime of this variety... if it is, and they were, whcih they're not, I'm sure.
