Alabama Wins Last Illegitimate National Title?

Back in November, the college football world witnessed the two best teams in the country duke it out in Tuscaloosa in what many described as zzzzzzzzz. So naturally the voters and the system selected these same two teams to fight for the Illegitimate National Title (INT). CAUSE IT WAS SOOOOO EXCITING THE FIRST TIME AROUND!!! Alabama and LSU went into the Superdome in New Orleans to fight for the biggest prize in the college football world. Quite frankly, this one seemed less exciting than the first. It was practically all FGs until the last quarter, Alabama pitched a defensive shut out, and it was a rematch of a game from the regular season between teams from the same conference that has dominated the INT for the last several years making it boring and predictable in the first place. It was so uninteresting to me that I didn't even watch it. Anyway, Alabama won it, 21-0. Congrats to them blah blah blah.

The real news is that the format might be changing. Apparently BCS officials will meet today about reorganizing the system through various suggestion of ideas which could include an implementation of a 4 team playoff or the plus one model. I beg the BCS to please go through with some sort of change to give the National title more credibility, preferably my system involving the 4 winners of the 4 BCS Bowls games competing in a two round playoff. The plus one model doesn't seem to be that. It's better being more inclusive but it's not the same thing.

Let's just hope this will be the last Illegitimate National Title won or at least the last one in this format.
