BCS Solution: What's Wrong with the Way Things Were?

Finally, the old system would lead to more intriguing bowl games.  Here's what it would look like this year:

Rose: Ohio St.-USC

Fiesta: Oklahoma-Georgia

Sugar: LSU-Kansas (should probably be Mizzou)

Orange: Va Tech- West Virginia 

Every one of these games is more intriguing than half the BCS games this year, save LSU-Kansas.  USC-Illinois and Georgia-Hawaii are insulting.  For all you Domers and WAC fans, if you want to win a championship, go join a real conference.  However, for those rare occasions when your teams are actually good enough to warrant a BCS bowl, there are two at large spots to fill.

Play the bowl games, and then let the voters decide.  No more Auburn or Georgia/USC/Oklahoma/West Virginia/Virginia Tech being left out to a "more deserving" team.  Play good non-conference games, win your conference, and then win your bowl and we'll talk. 

And no losing at home to Stanford or Pitt.  Devastating home losses like these should be just that—devastating.  You shouldn't win a title if you can't take care of business at home. 

So give LSU the title now—I don't care if Ohio State wins, anyone with a month to prepare can pull of an upset—and let's go back to what worked for a million years until those in charge decided to screw everything up.
