So, now that another season is gone, I have a topic for discussion (if anyone's interested). I was having this conversation with a friend last week. The people that run the BCS are fond of saying, "All the BCS is there for is to match up #1 and #2 at the end of the season. Nothing else." But it was used to determine who went to the Big 12 championship game that had an impact on the final teams that met for the MNC, and who knows what other tiebreakers depend on BCS ranking. My suggestion/point was, if that's truly what you want the BCS for, to determine #1 and #2, then why post BCS rankings at all until the end of the "regular" season? Why not keep the BCS rankings unpublished, and then show them at the end to determine #1 & #2.
I mean, the obvious answer is, you have an AP and a Coaches Poll, so why not show the BCS poll? I would say, you have those two polls to help determine the placement in the BCS, so you don't need to see the BCS poll at all, until the end.
Anyway, just a topic to fill some of the emptiness of the end of the college football season. I really don't have a dog in the fight either way, I just thought keeping the BCS private until the end would be an interesting thing to do.
