tieguy: the NCAA basketball playoff doesn't seem to have made the regular season games a bore. So I doubt football would be any different. Rivalry games would still be played and conference championships would still mean something. As far as the BCS goes, last year, Miami was #4 in the first poll and look what happened. Of course, they shouldn't have played Nebraska in the Rose Bowl but that's another topic for another day. I am a Notre Dame fan so maybe I don't see the awfulness of their being third but hey, it's just a poll, not the final one and if they win out, they'll deserve to be #3 or higher..
BCS Standings are out.
