You Want BCS Chaos, Huh? Would Another Split National Champion Do?

SB Nation’s BCS Evolution, where they spend their days attempting to make sense of an illogical system while at the same time not going totally insane, has put together the complicated, yet possible path to a split national champion:

↵

↵

All in all the following bowl results would maximize the controversy of the 2009-2010 college football champion:

↵

Texas beats Alabama in a close game, preferably on a controversial play

↵

[And] one of the following:

↵
    ↵
  • Cincinnati routs Florida and a close Fiesta Bowl, preferably with Boise State winning
  • ↵
  • Florida beats Cincinnati and a Fiesta Bowl rout, preferably with TCU winning
  • ↵
↵

If either of these happen the #2 team would likely be closer to #1 team than Utah was last year, representing a lower consensus in the national championship. A Cincinnati win guarantees three undefeated teams which would raise controversy on its own.

↵

↵The most likely scenario: Alabama beats Texas, the BCS claims the system works because it gave us a definitive national champion and we all spend the next few weeks hurling insults @InsidetheBCS.
