It's not like I really need a reason to hate on them anyways.

Have we really been disappointed with the final 4 teams that BCS has come up with at the end of the regular season?

I understand the argument from both sides. I just worry about the integrity and openness of the selection committee. As a Hokie fan, you better hope that there is someone at the table looking out for us.

Ie: With Condoleezza Rice on the committee, you know if Stanford is on the bubble - they are probably getting in.

It depends how much transparency there is. If they answer questions about why so-and-so didn't get in, while so-and-so did, I think I'd be ok with it. Especially if they were consistent. I think it'd be nice to break away from polls (as they're too heavily influenced by preseason polls and assumptions), and the computers (as they provide no transparency at all there, and sometimes give bizarro solutions). I'd hate to trust the outcome of my sport to any black-box style "inputs go in here, solution comes out here, just trust us" style protocol, which is essentially what the computers are.

That's proof of the old "Careful what you ask for..."

I'm not sure the old system was all the way there to getting it right, and still not sure the new system will get it right either. That's the problem with such a small sampling (4 out of 120 teams) to make the playoffs. I am hoping that teams like Bama will be hurt for their cupcake schedules. Always bothered me that the $EC takes a weekend late in the year to schedule softies.

I know everyone despised the BCS, but I don't understand why the BCS computers couldn't continue to make the selections for the new playoff system.

Think the BCS rankings are bad? Wait till a room full of suits with conflicts of interest and little knowledge of football start making the selections.

Living in NC, I get to hear more from UNC's perspective, and you are spot on. Koenning has said VT's concept packages are much more diverse in scope this year. Last year, UNC was able to key in on limited concepts last season and double certain WRs based on formations. That won't be an option this time around, which will put UNC in more 1 on 1 matchups in space.
