The excluded conferences agreed to the BcS because they had no choice. It like saying baseball never should have been intergrated, because all of the blacks had agreed to contracts with the Negro Leagues.
Lets see. This is a "better" system.
This year we have multiple teams with the same number of losses, and one team from a "lesser" conference with none.
So, after week 12, a computer formula that no one understands says that Florida and Oklahoma are better than the other one-loss teams. The format then without thought or choice assigns teams from the five cartel conferences, including a Cincinnati team that belonged in the GMAC Bowl, if that, and a Virginia Tech team that really did not belong either. Utah is thrown a scrap to appease the non-cartel half of the division.
Then we go a full week into winter long after New Year's Day a succesion of meaningless bowl games. New Year's Day so unimportant that the best game that day was Black Hawks - Red Wings. Then the "BCS Championship". Not really a bowl at all. Just another ESPN-quality game played on a regular work-a-day Thursday in a pro stadium. And the winner is automatically "champion".
Under the old system, the teams would have been assigned by humans to bowls based on thought. At the end of the greatest day of sports of the year, the first day, humans would have looked, not at only 12 games, but at all 13, to determine a champion. No one has a gripe, because all have lost. If your team went 12-1 and was not champion, then schedule a harder schedule and don't lose next year. No one has a gripe but Utah, which has the same gripe now.
Yep. That is sure "better".
The BcS, an illegal cartel set up to solve a problem that never existed.
