A non-ranked team makes it to the BCS, a MAC team makes it as well. This has to be the highest combined ranking of the BCS bowl teams ever. The system is messed up. Just make a 16 team playoff already. All of the other divisions seem to handle it just fine, and do away with all of this foolishness. The bowls have way to much power, it is all about the money!

These other divisions are not traveling anywhere near as much as the D1 schools, nor practicing as much, etc. They need more than 4, but 8 teams is tough, and 16 teams is absolutely impossible for D1 football unless they had an 8 game regular season, and no one is agreeing to that.

16 is too much (would the #12-16 even have a chance to run the table anyway?)
teams play 13 games as it is (14 in a conference championship)...not too long ago they played 11 games but money rules so they added a couple games....go back to 11 games and it works to have an 8 game playoff without adding one extra game...the problem is that this only works for 8 teams out of just over 100...all the other teams just lose games
as it is they could add ONE game in december very easily

That's the reason they exist, Bowls were designed solely as cash grab, and only recently have people tried to shoehorn some need for a national champion into them

Louisville and NIU in a BCS game lol what a fukking joke. Nothing like watching a couple exhibition games for the sunshine state teams. And we got another year of this BCS shitt before we get our playoff. But can't blame UL and NIU for picking of a fat check and a commemorative t-shirt.

The Gators are going to demolish Louisville and Bridgewater is going to go home in an ambulance. This game just shouldn't be allowed to happen it is very dangers for the louisville players. I mean seriously Louisvilee is like a JV girls cheerleading squad compared to the gators.

Why can't Louisville play NIU? Title it the "We Don't Belong Bowl" or the "No one Cares Bowl", or something like that. Like when they used to make Boise St. play TCU in the BCS. Since they both technically have to be there, put them against each other and save the other games. One of these bowls needed to take one for the team.

Boise State was left out of at least two or three BCS bowl games with much better resumes than this team. They lost to Iowa for Pete's sake.
Louisville would lose to Florida by 30 if they played a meaningful game next week. Five weeks from now in a pointless game. Who knows? Who cares

This would be the year to do that! It's all politics. This year, it was a way to give the MAC some money and appease small schools.
That year, they knew just how good TCU and Boise State were and primed to make undefeated runs the following year. They would have shown up the bigger schools...This year, they are having NIU do their bidding for them...."See, we told you these small schools were no good!

Oklahoma beat UCONN by 18 in the Fiesta Bowl a few years back.
Double that, that's what FSU will do to that MAC team.

Because you have a team whose strength of schedule is #102. Be like giving a big sky school a top seed in NCAA basketball tournament
