BCS?!?!

I think that they should play a 16 team tournament. Let all 11 Div I-A conference champions automatically get a bid and the 5 at larges. while letting all 11 conference champions get a bid may seem like a waste, it instantly takes out the argument for undefeated schools in smaller conferences. Utah, Boise St. and Ball St. are all 12-0 this year and should at least get a shot at it. 5 at larges bids also leaves enough for the the non conference champions. There are 6 "BCS" conferences, so it works out that if all conferences are equal, the runner ups will get to get to go except 1. In other years,like this, more from one conference will go ahead of another, say the more from the Big 12 instead other another from the ACC. No extra rule clauses for independents either (a la Notre Dame). If you are good enough to get one of the 5 at larges, fine, if you want an auto bid, join a conference.

Also, some people, those that are pro BCS and anti-playoff, say that a 16 team or even 8 team tournament adds to many games. Each lower division (Div. I-AA, Div II and Div. III) all have a 16 team playoff so it has to work. At most, it adds 3 extra (4 if you make it all the way to the final minus 1 bowl game that would have been traditionally played). How many worthless non-conference games against teams like SW Louisiana Tech do teams need to play. Drop a couple of these and add an extra week, problem solved.

If you play it out on the field, you have no right to complain about getting screwed out of a National Championship. If you can't make a 16 team field either, you have no right to be playing for one either.
