BCS Bowls:A rip off?

Since the beginning of the BCS or Bowl Championship Series system in 1998 there have been calls for a change of the system in college football. But not until recently have the protests become serious for a change to a playoff system. This year 5 teams ended up undefeated but only 2 will be playing for the National Championship on January 7, which of course are Alabama and Texas. Although I am confident this will be an unbelievable matchup, it is not the championship game I want to see at all. I would much rather see one of the other 3 undefeated teams get there shot at the title, even though only one of them is in a BCS conference they are all very good teams which deserve to get a shot at the title. This is why I agree with those who say that there not only needs to be a change in the system, but also that there needs to be a 8 team playoff system to determine the actual national champion. If this means 1 less game during the regular season so what, it will be so much better for college football and their fan base. This will also create much more excitement and more games for the best college players to be showcased against each other. Of course, BCS refuses to change the system, and the main reason, although they never state it, is of course money. The system rakes in millions of dollars for those in charge and next to none for those who participate, but are not a BCS conference, as stated in this article. As so many other systems in the U.S., the "lowly" are being screwed by the rich executives, even though they are as good as if not better than many of the big "BCS" teams. Even in college football which is supposed to be fun and a great experience for amateur athletes who are still young adults. This system is clearly flawed and although I will still watch the championship game, I will be thinking about what could have been if Texas Christian University had been in the game instead of Texas.
