Strengths:
- Lots of Bowls
- A lot of teams are included in post season play
- Its a huge suprise
- They are spread out all over the country
- $$$
- Not a True Champion
- Non-BCS teams can not get into the National Championship game
- Losing one game has serious consequences. If you are going to lose one game, make it early in the season. Lose late and you are done. 2 losses still have a chance of making a BCS game. Anything more than that and you are out of luck.
- Every single game matters.
- Not fair to non-BCS teams
PLAYOFFS
Strengths:
- True Champion
- Fair to Non-BCS teams as well as BCS teams.
- Polls are still in play
- There is still a lot of $$$ to be had.
- Not as many teams are included.
- Not as much time to plan/schedule/travel to each bowl/game
- Some argue that it impedes on academics, but just today the University of Alabama announced that students will not have classes from Jan 6-8 to allow for students and faculty to travel to Pasadena for the title game.
